4th REMEDIES Cluster Meeting – (Micro)plastics: How to Prepare for Tomorrow? 🤔 The event, organized during Science Month by the National Institute of Chemistry and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation of Slovenia, provided a platform for critical discussions about the challenges posed by (micro)plastics and the strategies needed to address them effectively.

𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 & 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙒𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙮 This Thursday (12/12), we'll be hosting Prof. David Sedlak, University of California, Berkeley for the monthly webinar. David will share his insights and thoughts about 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲! Also, don't miss the talk by Mike Penrose from our team providing an update about 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗮𝗺𝘀!!

Excited to share our most recent work led by Phuong Le along with collaborators Andong Liu and Prof. Yayuan Liu, which was published in ACIE! https://lnkd.in/gRcSc3Wy We show that discrete macrocycles mimic the properties of semiconducting MOFs and COFs while providing improved processability. Further, using electrochemically mediated CO2 capture as an example, we show that colloidal phenazine-based organic macrocycles improve electrical contact and active site electrochemical accessibility relative to bulk COF powders. Congrats all!

Lots of insights from the pre-conference workshop Exploring the Value of Microbial Germplasm for Research and Industry at the International Phytobiomes Alliance conference. "The success of the bioeconomy relies on access to germplasm, both microbial and plant." - Kirk Broders Happy to see the efforts of the US Culture Collection Network to support this critical infrastructure. Throughout the talks this afternoon we learned about many "orphaned" collections at high risk of full loss when researchers retired that have now been adopted, curated and preserved for posterity. #Phytobiomes2024

Thanks to everyone that reached out yesterday wanting more information regarding BioHub LaB. To help keep the numbers high and consistent we developed a biostimulant to be utilised at mixing. Want to know how easy it is to mix? The watch this video. #biohublab #biohublabfeed #keepitsimple #takingthebsoutofbiology

In a "Seeds of Innovation" article, BioLumic Founder and Chief Scientific Officer Jason Wargent, Ph.D writes about the untapped potential of AgTech’s world-changing ideas for the seed industry. Wargent says, "One of the great tenets of science is that the world-changing ideas we do not yet have in our hands today; we may invent tomorrow. In the history of seed trait innovation, nobody has embodied this ethos more so than Dr. Norman E. Borlaug." For more, go to https://shorturl.at/6evRS

I’m very happy to announce that our work on paired bacterial interactions in pL-droplets was finally published in Nature Communications! The result of a collaborative effort with Isaline Lucille Guex, Helena Todorov, Jordan Vacheron, Clara Margot Heiman, and the Vorholt lab; but also the first milestone in our journey to better understand how consortia of bacteria assemble in fragmented micro-scaled environments (such as in the soil)! Find the publication on the following link: https://lnkd.in/eVXAWafv The image below illustrates one of the bacterial combinations tested in pL-droplets: two strains of Pseudomonas protegens - CHA0 (green) and Pf-5 (magenta) - after 15h of competitive growth for succinate in droplets. The infrequent production of tailocin particles by CHA0 leads to the selective lysis of Pf-5 cells in a small proportion of droplet habitats and to the localized dominance of CHA0 - an effect undetectable in standard batch liquid cultures!

Want to know how easy it is to ensure you have maximum live biology numbers with BioHub LaB? We have designed BioHub LaBFeed to quickly grow numbers and maximum your results. This great video from Paul shows you the easy mixing procedures. Keeping it simple to maximise results. #keepitsimple #biohublab #biohublabfeed
