We’re looking for great speakers for #SynBioBeta2019, The Global #SyntheticBiology Summit. If you want to make a splash, launch a product, or think you’ll have an announcement, apply here to speak by December 31. buff.ly/2UVmtzO #geneediting #genomeediting #CRISPR #synbio
The 2018 #NobelPrize in Chemistry was awarded to scientists that use #SynBio as a core part of their research. Was this year's prize therefore the first SynBio Nobel? Read more on Synbiologue

Lab #automation is already accelerating #SynBio research, by using #robotics and #AI to perform repetitive tasks in parallel, with precision far surpassing humans. Read more about these revolutionary technologies on Synbiologue.

"Honey, I've CRISPRed the kids!"
A Chinese academic scientist has claimed that twin baby girls have been born from embryos that had been edited with #CRISPR, despite an unofficial global moratorium on genetic modification of humans

How do you feel about #biohacking? Is it a loaded term for amateur #synbio? Should it be more regulated or even banned? Or should we be encouraging biohackers to continue researching?
100%It's valid research
0%It needs regulated
0%Call it amateur SynBio
0%It should be banned
2 votes • Final resultsWhat is #biohacking, and how should we approach it? Can DIY biologists achieve useful results, or do their mistakes risk tarnishing #synbio research?

For this reason, we are asking for participation from our community! Please tweet us from now up until the event with the synbio questions that you want to talk about and please use the hashtag #letstalksynbio. This way we can get the discussion rolling for December!

My next question comes from the issues that we have seen regarding the public perception of GM from the 1990s. I want to know how can the synbio community do a better job of “marketing” synbio? let us know what you think and your own questions! #letstalksynbio
Over 2% of the world's energy is used to combine nitrogen with hydrogen (mostly derived from methane gas) to produce ammonia. How can we engineer soil bacteria to produce #fertiliser for crops through nitrogen fixing? #GMO #synbio #biotech

Do you work in a Biochemistry related job? Perhaps a job that is not usually associated with Biochemistry. Why not write about it as part of our 'A day in the life of...' careers series. Get in touch today and tell us about your careers! #Science #careeradvice
Read our first #biobook review on "What's Your Bio Strategy?" by @johncumbers, Founder of @SynBioBeta, and Karl Schiemer synbiologue.com/2018/11/07/w…
Fantastic #SyntheticBiology projects were designed, built and tested by @EdinburghUni students this summer. Both Edinburgh's teams finished with 3 gold medals in Boston. Read more about #EDiGEM on Synbiologue
