How can we develop ways to make medicines when and where people need them? For everyone? #cellfree systems can help. We demonstrated scalable synthesis of T7 RNA polymerase, a component in mRNA vaccine synthesis, at the 1L scale @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Imagine bacteria mining cryptocurrencies. We moved a step closer by encoding a 2-bit MD5 cryptographic hash algorithm – a precursor of SH256 used for Bitcoin - across 66 E. coli strains. It required over 1 megabase of DNA, the size of a small genome. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Here's the video of the VTVL test. Landing legs deploy, accuracy good, but that's quite a fall after engine cutoff. Deep Blue Aerospace statement says they succeeded with 10 of 11 objectives in their statement. mp.weixin.qq.com/s/jwYBZ1tlt9Ac…

Deep Blue Aerospace's new hop test (5-10 km level) failed in the final stages today in Inner Mongolia, according to this news report. Waiting for video of the attempt. m.guancha.cn/gaotianwei/202…

Group trip out this afternoon for pizza 🍕 and 3.5 billion years of evolution on Earth. First time doing a VR ‘expedition’ but was very impressed. Especially enjoyed being shrunken to nanosize to hunt in a culture of anabena cells growing in a stromatolite. 🦠

15 billion miles (24 billion km) away and still feeling good! But don't take my word for it: Hear directly from my team, and get a chance to ask them your questions! Tune in tomorrow at 11:30am PT for this thing they call a Reddit AMA: reddit.com/r/askscience/ -V1
