Thank you for sharing your inspiring #iwill statements that will continue to move forward and shape our field! #synbioleap #SB7conf
The @SynBioLEAP program in 2015 was an incredible experience! Everyone should think about applying when @meganjpalmer runs it again!
An experiment: How can we scale #synbioleap? #sb7conf
I'm profiled in @Forbes "un-career"path piece by the amazing @JessicaShortall forbes.com/sites/jessicas… @SynBioLEAP @SystemsSally #BioBuilder
.@synthace Really, really great to see the call for an education fund to support @iGEM & @SynBioLEAP! Hopefully other nations will notice!
Today is our day! Happy Leap Day everyone, and thank you all for your support as we've grown the program & our leaders over the last 4 yrs..
