Hear me out the Atlantic ocean ALSO needs a Great Plastic Patch of its own
Me: We are going to make progress diverting organics from landfills. People want to do the right thing and separate their food waste. The market: Never do dishes again! Just peel off a little square of film plastic w/ every meal 😱peelware.com/ (courtesy of @engt_phd)

Sadly anything less than glowing is not a good sign from an American recommender now
Letters of recommendation: American: “I am thrilled to recommend!!!” British: “I am willing to endorse” German: “I am annoyed to be asked”

One of these days we’ll figure out how to get the safari password manager to work with the editorial manager website. So many near-identical login usernames for unrelated journals. Half the time I don’t even get to set my own username

Has anyone ever tried to make P. putida smell less, putrid? (Can you imagine the public complaints from a 3 million L reactor?) Maybe we should just go in and delete a couple of the big offenders?? @vdlorenzo_CNB @PabloINik

Great team effort on a hard topic - breaking ground in new microbes for synAg applications. Thanks to all the support from @jbei colleagues and @LBNLBioSci @doescience for supporting the LDRD program for high risk high reward research!

At a business mixer tonight an attendee heard I had biked to the event and said “I hate bicyclists so much. I would absolutely run you over and kill you if we left here at the same time. You don’t belong on the road.” Two hours later and I’m still processing all of it.
