I am a scientist at BBN Technologies and a research affiliate at MIT and the University of Iowa (my life is a little bit complicated). My research focuses on analyzing and engineering complex aggregates, such as engineered and natural cells, genetic regulatory networks, sensor networks, and robot swarms. Apparently, I also enjoy talking about scientific life with others online.

A hopefully useful talk that I gave: Surviving Life as a Researcher

Example Questions

votes newest recent

Synthetic Biology: My OD measurements are going up rather than down when I dilute my calibrant. How can this happen on a plate reader?

Synthetic Biology: I found a sequence in a scientific paper and built a plasmid that uses it. Can I share my plasmid under the OpenMTA?

Synthetic Biology: How do I represent a knock-in strain in the SBOL 3 data model without including the whole genome?

Synthetic Biology: “How can I express gRNA from a sensor using a Pol II promoter in a mammalian cell line?”

Synthetic Biology: What controls do I need in order to calibrate my flow cytometry data into standard MEFL units?
