SynMADE: synthetic microbiota across diverse ecosystems

The last two decades have witnessed rapid advances in engineering individual microbial strains to produce biochemicals and biomaterials. Furthermore, engineering microbial consortia has been relatively slow. Using systems and synthetic biology approaches, researchers have been developing tools for engineering complex microbiota. In this article, I discuss future directions and visions regarding developing microbiota as a biomanufacturing host. Specifically, I propose that we can develop the soil microbial community itself as a huge bioreactor. Ultimately, researchers will provide a generalizable system that enables us to understand microbial consortium’s interaction and metabolism at diverse temporal and spatial scales to address global problems, including the climate crisis, food inequality, waste issue, and sustainable bioproduction.

MagNetUS: a magnetized plasma research ecosystem

MagNetUS is a network of scientists and research groups that coordinates and advocates for fundamental magnetized plasma research in the USA. Its primary goal is to bring together a broad community of researchers and the experimental and numerical tools they use in order to facilitate the sharing of ideas, resources and common tasks. Discussed here are the motivation and goals for this network and details of its formation, history and structure. An overview of associated experimental facilities and numerical projects is provided, along with examples of scientific topics investigated therein. Finally, a vision for the future of the organization is given.
