A worthy read!
Today I’m joining 30+ colleagues in taking an unusual step: calling for a halt to a line of research I was excited about, the long-term effort to build “mirror life”. We’re sharing our findings in a @ScienceMagazine paper: 1/6

Northwestern Center for Synthetic Biology @NUSynBio highlights recent article in Chicago Sun Times @Suntimes on @AristildeLab research.
Growing up in Haiti, @AristildeLab saw the effects of environmental disasters. Now, she’s leading a team harnessing microbes to break down plastics in rivers. Join the fight for a sustainable future!🌱 #Sustainability #Innovation

@yarrowaxford @NorthwesternU Thanks for the shoutout @yarrowaxford. Hope this article sheds light on the barriers that existed when I was a student and still exist now as a faculty.

Check out @NorthwesternEng feature on @AristildeLab research published yesterday in @EnvSciTech on #plastic-eating enzymes identified in a #wastewater #bacterium.
Professor Ludmilla Aristilde’s discovery of how cells of a Comamonas bacterium break down plastic for food opens new possibilities for developing bacteria-based engineering solutions to help clean up difficult-to-remove plastic waste.

Can wastewater bacteria provide solutions to the plastics problem? Just out today new @AristildeLab study unraveling how #wastewater Comamonas #bacteria break down PET #plastics into #nanoplastics and ultimately digestible #carbons.
