Happy to add another journal cover to my portfolio, but mostly excited for everyone to read about @GinaPartipilo’s creative application of microfluidics for rapid screening of electroactive bacteria
⚡️An electrifying start to the New Year! Check out the January issue of AEM, featuring a dynamic cover by artist Ismar Miniel. @TexasCHE and @ut_caee researchers describe the use of microdroplet emulsion sorting to identify new electroactive bacteria⚡️

We thrilled to share our latest work in @NatureComms, led by @TrevorRSimmons, in which we rewired CsrA to build designer post-transcriptional genetic circuits. Our approach supports the idea of co-opting native networks for complex bacterial computation. doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-5…

We are excited to share our latest preprint, led by @matsuri_rojano & @TrevorRSimmons, in which we identify concentration dependent regulation of CsrA on a novel mRNA target and repurpose this interaction to build a genetic BANDPASS Filter. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #WhatStartsHere
So surreal to see my image on the cover of Nature Chemical Biology! Shoutout to @GinaPartipilo and @austinjgraham for leading a great project and all of the @KeitzLab members who made it possible. #sciart

The cover depicts an engineered living material with controllable mechanical properties: Bacteria (orange) embedded in a hydrogel are programmed to control the expression of MtrC which regulates microbial respiration

I forgot to mention also - you can install from within Blender. No more need to download anything externall. Download and update from within Blender 4.2

I have been working like absolute crazy over the past two months for this - #MolecularNodes 4.2 is now released for #b3d 4.2
A huge number of new features - which I will cover some here.
- Selections using @mdanalysis selection language are updated live.

Just released a new #MolecularNodes version. A bunch of bug fixes, but two new features after multiple requests in some recent workshops.
- Panel to download from the #AlphaFold database
- Quickly change styles by right clicking

In this work, we investigate EET as a modulator of engineered living materials and use bacterial logic to actuate changes the abiotic environment.
