this is our plan to solve aging.
and it starts at the biopunk house, a state-of-the-art biotech community and lab at @frontiertower. discovery isn’t reserved for billion dollar labs, we’d put our money on it being right here.
with cracked researchers like @ThatMrE and biotech founders with billion-dollar companies mentoring you through your journey, this is your step to getting from concept to clinic and prototype to pilot.

This might be a good grant for people working on bio art and bio architecture. Applications close March 31!

MIT's free virtual synthetic biology course applications are open for this year! It has great stuff.
I’m excited to announce that the application for the 2026 edition of our @medialab and global synthetic biology course “How to Grow (Almost) Anything” is now open! Application link in thread 👇

I was living the dream today speaking with the NASA workforce and taking questions.
Not surprising, the world’s most accomplished space agency has assembled extraordinary talent. I am fortunate to be serving alongside them.
Great lab tour for the Cocoa Zero project.
🍫 Ever seen cocoa fat being grown in a lab? Join ValleyDAO inside @imperialcollege as we check in on Cocoa Zero!
Check out our space biotech community!
Welcome to Expanse Bio!
We are the Space Biotech Hub, building a community to create an innovation hub and knowledge platform for space exploration and Earth applications.
We aim to start funding research in 2026 join us on discord at:

Our robots have a new cheerleader :)
We’ve been quietly deploying our robots to more businesses across the Bay Area.
Drop by @seabreezesf in Noe Valley and see for yourself!

Weak magnetic field effects have been reported across biology for decades, but the mechanisms are still debated. One possibility is that certain cellular reactions respond to magnetic fields through quantum-level spin dynamics.
Last year, researchers in our ecosystem tested this idea using tadpoles. When Earth’s ~50 μT field was removed and replaced with an ultralow field (<1 nT), the tadpoles developed faster across multiple morphological measures. The shift was visible as early as day one.
This raises deeper questions about how development and physiology interact with magnetic environments, and what kinds of biophysics could explain such sensitivity. Quantum biology offers a path forward - a framework that can connect molecular spin dynamics to organism-level outcomes, and potentially reveal new ways to understand and influence living systems.
The full dataset, images, paper, and analysis code are open here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Got rocket motors for high-powered hobby rocket flights! I got a J motor for my Tripoli level 2 high-powered rocket certification flight & a H motor for the rocket I got my level 1 with earlier this year.

Mars could be green in our lifetime, but you’d still need an oxygen mask.
With new capabilities in spaceflight & synthetic biology, current plans for Mars terraforming look very different from past visions. A thin, life-supporting atmosphere might be doable with modern tech.

Every now and then I look at my latest model of a terraformed Mars.
One of these days I'll get around to completing the enhancement down to 6 m resolution.
In this thread I'll drop a few screenshots of my favorite places.

3D printed my first piece of lab equipment last July (not including bioprinter pieces)! Can you guess what it is?
