We are very excited to announce that our member @FinalFoods is offering a 2 day bioreactor primer class at BioCurious on July 17th and 18th 10am - 4pm. The hands-on class is both days and costs $500. Get more details and sign up for the class at:

Hey spread the word if you want to take the first in person class at the lab, since COVID hit! We are excited to see @FinalFoods offering this in person hands on lab class on how to use a bioreactor! Just a few slots left.

RT @daphmarts: THANKS for joining us 🙏🏾! What a rich convo - we hope this is just the start of more to come. Special thanks to @JusticeTosh…

@daphmarts @JusticeToshiba @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @rayfutia @elemrei @PellitierPeter Thank you for the invite what a great series of questions. If folks want to follow me directly for more rambling disucssion I tend to tweet more on @IshyMaria and leave more lab centered announcements for this account.

@TimSDobbs @ATinyGreenCell @daphmarts @JusticeToshiba @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @rayfutia @elemrei @openbioeconomy I feel very seen about the not documenting things... I am far too guilty of this but strive to improve!

RT @JusticeToshiba: @daphmarts @bioCURIOUSlab @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @rayfutia @elemrei My simple answer: It looks like the community—…

@ATinyGreenCell @daphmarts @JusticeToshiba @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @rayfutia @elemrei The work of @openbioeconomy is really amazing in kicking this off and more people should know about their work! Also more open source/low cost basic lab hardware.

@daphmarts @JusticeToshiba @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @rayfutia @elemrei Community driven science is accessible, it asks and looks at local issues, and brings a new lens to explore science. It is flexible and necessary to open science in this way. It is supporting students and teachers as well. New pedagogy of teaching STEM.

@TimSDobbs @Peter_Dykstra @elemrei @JusticeToshiba @daphmarts @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @rayfutia Yes! BioArtBot is great for education without requring students to be in the lab but getting to watch their samples results.

@daphmarts @eco_genome @HankGreelyLSJU @JusticeToshiba @rayfutia @elemrei @meganjpalmer @stephaniecaty @KaoruTsuji @TadashiFukami @ChihFuYeh @suzanneou @lesldeck @priscillaasj @Texosporium There has been large instutional push back for change and it may look like more open access journals -

@rayfutia @daphmarts @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @JusticeToshiba @elemrei @meganjpalmer GMO safety has been a political and messaging issue, the tech itself isnt inherently unsafe but the myths and misinformation is so prevelant we have lost the information war we didnt know we were fighting about it.

@daphmarts @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @JusticeToshiba @rayfutia @elemrei @meganjpalmer Also disrupting biotech in other ways open source, disrupt publication, de-centralized production, broader participation in the process and discussions about ethics etc #BioTheWhat

@daphmarts @JusticeToshiba @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome One example is the work of the rare disease community like that done by @eperlste and others is working to change models of funding and pushing more value driven results so there is vast opporutnity for improvements.

RT @daphmarts: POLL TIME: Are the current and future efforts in the industry addressing your values, needs, and concerns? Why or why not?…

@ATinyGreenCell @eco_genome @daphmarts @JusticeToshiba @HankGreelyLSJU @rayfutia @elemrei YES!

@daphmarts @JusticeToshiba @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @rayfutia @elemrei I am hopeful about projects like and @globalbiosummit which are working to break down global barriers and create resilant new models and communities (I am very biased as a meta lead of @globalbiosummit)and seeing more diverse faces of sci comm.
