Today I’m joining 30+ colleagues in taking an unusual step: calling for a halt to a line of research I was excited about, the long-term effort to build “mirror life”.
We’re sharing our findings in a @ScienceMagazine paper:

Today's @buildacell Workshop 10 is extremely productive, with energy carried over from #SynCell2023. Working groups are producing papers and frameworks on different important community problems.

Last day of #SynCell2023, we were joined by a special guest, an example of #bioengineering that went horribly right: Goldy the Gopher came to learn how to build synthetic cells.
He also helped us with poster prize ceremony.

How to make a cell? From the man that did it.
#SynCell2023 keynote by John Glass from @JCVenterInst showing the process of making a Mycoplasma based synthetic cell.

Final day of #SynCell2023 with keynote by @PaulFreemont from @IC_CSynBio @imperialsynbio
Giving us a blueprint for contructing a synthetic cell. There's remarkably little involved in actually staying alive, a trackable engineering problem.
