Interviews with synthetic biologists: Michael Mendez
BlogSynthetic biology is a set of tools, a way of thinking, the integration of engineering principles into biological sciences, and potentially the biggest opportunity for advances in plant sciences since PCR. Yet many struggle to define it, and fewer still grasp its full potential.
Now, four early-career…

Creating a future of effective science communicators
BlogThe need for incentivized science communication training for graduate students
In 2017, I attended the March for Science in Denver, CO alongside two plant biology graduate students. The excitement I got from being in a mass of people who support science funding dissipated when we started talking to…
