I thought this was a joke, but it really is called the Manhattan Project. Succinctly, "Jiankui He’s wife and George Church’s postdoc set up a business."

Food for thought (hehe) for microbiologists and sourdough enthusiasts alike. Not to mention a WINNING figure describing the #microbiome 🖥️ #bioinformatics 🧬 pipeline. As my colleague Annina puts it: It’s just like detective work to discover the names of your sourdough's microscopic roommates!

Three cheers for my colleague Dr. Georg Aichinger on a fantastic institute seminar! Exciting to learn about the interplay of the gut microbiome, toxicology, and pharmacokinetics.
