What they actually mean: "we realized we could make even more money if we also didn't pay the editors !!" 😂

Genome-scale metabolic modeling of Ruminiclostridium cellulolyticum: a microbial cell factory for valorization of lignocellulosic biomass | mSystems In this work, we present a manually curated genome-scale metabolic model for Ruminiclostridium cellulolyticum, one of the few species known to fully degrade cellulose and hemicellulose. The model was ...

Our new genome-scale model for R. cellulolyticum is out on mSystems:

Very proud of the hard work of my PhD student, Idun Burgos 😊

Distilled water is the perfect low-calorie high-energy isotonic drink 🥇💪

That sad moment when even Wordle refuses your grant 🫠

I don't claim to fully understand how the financial system and all its intricacies work, but my impression is that the global economy is one giant pyramid scheme that constantly borrows money from the next generation.

Why spend money on journal fees?

If i want to advertise my research results, I can just report them to old people in my hometown and ask them to keep it a secret. 🤫

I usually ask explicitly to chatGPT to give me an answer based on solid scientific literature with preference for well known journals. So far i never got an answer that seemed suspicious. I'm quite happy with the quality of the results.

Every time I accept to participate in another project...

Applications are now open! We are recruiting 20 Assistant Professors in a wide range of subject areas. We're looking for early-career researchers with strong scientific merits and future potential.

Right-wing nationalists who claim that people should go back to where they came from, should maybe do the same, and go back to the hydrothermal vents... 🤔 🦠

More than the number of users or the number of citations, the best achievement of my open source software is to have reached the "height of folly!" 🥰

Wouldn't it be ironic if with all the import tariffs, and backlash from other countries, Trump would actually promote a worldwide use of local products, and accidentally help the climate ? 😃

From the authors of "The trip that could have been a video call" and "The meeting that could have been an email" comes the new great hit:

"The smalltalk that could have been a smile and wave"

Genome-scale metabolic modeling of Ruminiclostridium cellulolyticum: a microbial cell factory for valorization of lignocellulosic biomass The development of sustainable biotechnological processes requires a transition from the traditional fermentation of refined substrates towards the valorization of waste materials such as lignocellulo...

Super excited to share the work of one of my first PhD students, Idun Burgos :) An extensively curated GEM for R. cellulolyticum, a promising microbial cell factory to digest lignocellulose.
