I am thrilled for the invitation to speak at the Microbial Sciences 20th Annual Symposium at Harvard University this Saturday!
It looks like a great lineup of speakers and I can't wait to see the SciArt too!

Glad to see this article in @TheEconomist featuring Prometheus Materials (@losethecarbon)! Congrats team on the nice press! I am excited about the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment using cyanobacteria!

Congrats to lead author @ColinGates3 and team on new preprint! We show multigenerational activity, kinetics, and wavelength-specific recruitment of Vipp1 during photosynthetic membrane repair in cyanobacteria. Video: Vipp1 (green) and membrane (magenta).

New paper w/ Prof. Bortz and Dr. Wentz! The Analytical singular value decomposition of the stoichiometric matrix for a spatially discrete reaction-diffusion system to analyze the compartmentalized metabolism in the cyanobacterial carbon-fixing carboxysome.

Zam! New paper on redox-regulated RNB protein Zam! Congrats Patrick Thomas and co-authors! Phylogenomics, structural modeling, 77 K fluorescence spectroscopy, and single-cell imaging of cyanobacteria. Also thanks to #alphafold. @RASEI_CU @CUBIOCHEM1 @NREL

Our preprint led by @JianTay1 describes a new method to study photosynthesis and photoinhibition in single cyanobacterial cells. We reveal a new cellular structure, the photoendosome, with a proposed role in photodamage repair pathways.@CUBIOCHEM1

Think Rubisco is slow-not as slow as my tweets! But not too late to share our new review on carboxysomes and bacterial microcompartments-we discuss three distinct pools of Rubisco in cyanobacteria and their roles in carbon-fixation. Hope you check it out!

Watch out CO2! Here we come!
Excited about the launch of Prometheus Materials to reduce our carbon footprint on Earth! And maybe even enhance our carbon footprint in space?!
@losethecarbon
Biogenic calcium carbonate precipitation rocks!!
Our collaborative team enhanced the mechanics and viability of living building materials made with calcite produced by cyanobacteria and engineered E. coli.

Thanks to @dailycamera for writing up a nice story on our new paper in @ScienceAdvances led by postdoc @sarahjhurley! Check it out!
Don't worry, sleeping in your car is optional here (but in the pursuit of good science...).

Happy New Year! and Happy New Paper! It sheds light on the evolution of carbon fixation in cyanobacteria.
A wonderful collaboration between biochemists and geologists made this study possible! @CUBIOCHEM1 @RASEI @NREL @CUGeolSci

New paper! We used APEX2-based proximity-proteomics to reveal the contents of the thylakoid lumen in cyanobacteria, where photosystem II splits water and produces oxygen-key process for most life on earth! @RASEI_CU @CUBIOCHEM1 @NREL @BioFrontiers
