Taking five months to notice something this potentially impactful seems … pretty bad.
Taking five months to notice something this potentially impactful seems … pretty bad.
Check out this new paper by on testing the performance of various DNA synthesis screening tools--including @IBBIS_bio's Common Mechanism and tools from @aclid , @Battelle and Raytheon @nwheeler443 @jdiggans @SarahCarter1 liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/ap…
Bravo! “…starting 180 days after the framework is announced, agencies will require that grantees obtain synthetic nucleic acids from vendors that screen.” @WHOSTP bit.ly/3QuOrkr
Great work by @biotech_gov. It exemplifies our continued commitment to supporting responsible research through rigorous #biosecurity. Gene Synthesis Security - Biotech bit.ly/3w2AxPL
I really enjoyed giving this talk (in my personal capacity) at @cmist_cmu a few weeks ago. They have a really exciting outfit they are building there and I look forward to seeing how they evolve.

big W for generative protein design in a preprint this week A new AI-designed CRISPR Cas protein that is: - about as active as SpCas9 (most widely-used Cas) - 95% reduction in off-target editing - plausibly less immunogenic - 182 mutations away from *any* Cas in their database
By engaging proactively with all stakeholders, policymakers can help guard against threats of misuse while promoting economic competitiveness and the open exchange of information. Read here: biotech.senate.gov/press-releases…
Excited about the release of Sarah Carter's new report with @Blueprintbio on customer screening for the life sciences ― if designed well, I think we could translate many of the lessons we've learned (and are learning) from DNA synthesis screening to other areas of the bioeconomy.
In nearly every AI policy panel I've watched over the past year, someone, if not everyone, has praised NIST—commending the work they've done w/ a limited budget. It's past time that measurement science in AI/ML is properly funded. I'm glad to see the breadth of support here.

The benefits of AI will take investment to realize, but the risks will come for free. That's why NTI | bio is leading on AI-bio threats by establishing the International AI-bio forum, which just met for the first time. buff.ly/3Jx22Ul
We quantified the carbon 👣 of making 1 gene. Using Twist, .036kg of CO2 equivalent is emitted/gene compared to emissions of up to 23 kg/gene for 96-well plate approaches— the equivalent of greenhouse gasses emitted from driving a gasoline car for .092 mi compared to 59 mi*

Two things happened on the @California_ISO grid last night. 1) Battery storage discharge went over 6GW for the first time AND 2) Batteries were the largest source of supply.
Nature has it figured out with DNA. (Best ever) Storage medium ✅ Stable for a (very) long time ✅ Low energy requirements ✅ Always relevant ✅ We’re working on speed and cost to make DNA data storage scale. Great piece @JTsangWrites @SynBioBeta synbiobeta.com/read/shrinking…
It is important to support responsible research through rigorous #biosecurity frameworks, and we’re thrilled our very own @jdiggans is contributing to that advancement! @Battelle @LiebertPub Read more👇 A Sensitivity Study for Interpreting Nucleic Acid…bit.ly/3xLNfm4
Happy 11th birthday @TwistBioscience!! Hard work, dedication, and passion have brought us to this milestone. Huge thank you to the team for propelling us to this point, and to our customers who inspire us as they change the world. 🥳 Here we are on day 1…
Expanded testing & surveillance are an urgent need and Congress must prioritize this investment. But there is an equal need for basic virology research: susceptibility, tropism, transmission, & pathogenesis. We can’t reduce risks to cows or humans if we don’t understand them.

look I'm not gonna say that every single nonprofit is bad, there's a huge range of stuff out there. what's bad is the systemic outsourcing of services and tasks best performed by government agencies to unaccountable, poorly monitored, low-paying, non-union NGOs
