What We're Reading: July 13th
Blog, WWR Full PostReview. Genetically encoded biosensors in plants: Pathways to discovery ($)
Genetically-encoded biosensors are produced from genes, and provide a specific readout (usually fluorescence or luminescence) of the amount and distribution of a compund of interest (the analyte). We’ve all see data obtained…
Balancing professional and personal life
BlogPart of the "Self Reflection" series by and for early-career researchers
Scientists are sometimes obsessive with their work: this is both a cliché and many times a reality, at least during certain periods of their professional life. The infamous “Publish or perish” saying comes to mind. However,…

Update: Genetic engineering, synthetic biology and the light reactions of photosynthesis
Blog, Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: UpdatesBy Dario Leister
Applications of synthetic biology to photosynthesis currently range from exchanging photosynthetic proteins to the utilization of photosynthesis as a source of electrons for entirely unrelated reactions.
Oxygenic photosynthesis is imperfect and the evolutionarily conditioned patchwork…
