Something something, but look at that science blender art...

Perhaps it's time I update the community picture here...

Congratulations, Bruce. I have no idea what all that speak is, but way to go! I suspect your will be grandfather to Dr. Noonian Soong?

Not sure about the mugshot though. You kill someone?

Also, it's good to know where the zombie plague will be coming from.

My reputation precedes me... The mug shot was an unfortunate cropping of a still less than awesome picture taken by someone much shorter than i am...

My PhD student does tell me I'm one bad day away from being a monstrous bioterrorist so you never know...

Careful. I think that gets you a 24-hour ban.

Congratulations Bruce - super impressive! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

If the assembly of protein-based circuits results in better disease detection and more efficient photosynthesis thatโ€™s huge and I imagine pharmaceutical companies will be beating a track to your door!

OK few questions......

1. If you're so smart how come you're still crap at Wordle?

2. If you can design new proteins to be used as biological wires, how come you can't hide the wires that power your brain?

3. I've "known" you for nigh on 20 years. You must be in your forties at least. So how old is that photo because dude, you look 25?

Seriously though, happy to see my favourite maquettologist doing such cool stuff Bruce. Is that like a "Woo hoo!" amount of research funding in the scheme of things?

There's an interesting future that might result from this work, for sure...

I think its because I am playing a different game. I simply want to find the right word and I don't care about how long it takes. This drive for a 2 or 3 word solution is simply luck based, some days it will work, some not. I love chaos, but in wordle I can control it.

I wasn't the one who built me... If I had, you'd be damn sure they'd be better hidden... :P

I am in my early forties, and yeah that photo is recent. I've always looked young, despite my copious white hairs....

It's weird... The value seems large, and it is large from a singular grant perspective, but spread across four or five groups, it ends up being a medium-large grant for my group-- enough for a postdoc for five years, generous consumables, and a small bit of my salary. The fact is that personnel costs are always the largest component of any grant, and that's even when we don't pay them (or ourselves) very well. What this does for the team is set up a scenario in which additional grants, or fellowships can be pulled in to expand the value of the work, and for me personally it gives me time. Time and personnel to establish my group's work, attract additional sources of funding and students, and lets me put a (hopefully beneficial) indelible mark on the field.

Let me know if you can enhance the barnacle sensors on my rPlank?

I mean, please don't spend more than ยฃ50k on that, but it could help.

But it probably wouldn't. I think the cats have gnawed most of them off.
