💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌱🌿 Arya Satheesh developed a #bioplastic called Eco Purge that biodegrades in two weeks.

The material releases specific #enzymes designed to break down existing #microplastics in #soil and #water. Her #research and prototype earned her the European category win at the 2026 #EarthPrize.

Damn I love the BBC's World service. Just caught 'Sideways' which this week was all about slimemoulds, what they can teach us about cognition as single celled organisms and how that is inspiring the world's of nanotechnology and medicine . All rather inspiring and makes me wish I had followed my original plan of going to uni to study biochemisty rather than just starting work Whoopsie!

What if the future of sustainable chemicals relies on E. coli to eat methanol?

In the latest episode of Innovate and React we breaks down:
🧪 How to avoid the food vs. fuel debate by shifting from sugar to methanol
🧬 Rewiring E. coli: Training industrial bacteria to process methanol via Adaptive Laboratory Evolution.
🏭 Utilizing CO₂-derived feedstocks without costly pre-purification.

“Global mountain regions have great biological, cultural, and spiritual value for people around the world, but progress in efforts to conserve montane resources has been slow. International researchers are now acting to construct a bioeconomy framework for global mountains that includes biodiversity, cultural protection, and restoration, circular economy principles, biotechnology innovation, digital integration, sustainable fair trade, and social equity and justice. Plans in five mountain regions are reviewed for initial actions to implement this framework…”

I guess - people should use #AI with some context, understanding and use them not as an alternative to human workers, but as a tool, when given to capable humans who make right choices, increases the productivity and profit of the institutions.

So, this is the first post with the tag : #wtfAI

Need your genuine opinion on what you people think about AI. I just need to know about it's impact and popularity in current #society.

1) Is AI actually necessary for humans? We were already good before AI? Is it?

2) AI should be controlled and be put to use for only authorised people - because anyone with a bad intent can do some #TokenMaxxing - AI used as service for cyberattacks.

3) Other unanswered questions that you might have. (Like AI in #biotechnology)

This is just for gathering opinions.

NGTs, new genomic techniques, are advanced methods that allow scientists to make precise changes to the DNA of plants and microorganisms.

New genomic techniques (NGTs) are one of the ways Europe can begin to bolster a stronger food safety net amidst the climate crisis. These tools enable for the development of climate-resilient, disease-resistant, and more nutritious crops.

Truly enjoyed exchanging ideas with the counter culture labs (https://counterculturelabs.org) biopunks at #opensauce. Discussed dirty hydroponics and Joseph Lofthouse tomato seeds. I really like their mission to share knowledge of #biotechnology and help people start their own labs.
