    Genomics

    University of Alberta

    I’m using genome editing to understand how plants regulate their genes in response to changing environments. I also trying to find out if we can apply this knowledge to fine-tune plant metabolism to create better crops

    Molecular Biology

    Princeton University

    I study how Gram-negative bacteria build their outer membranes, which is interesting because the compartment between the inner and outer membranes, the periplasm, lacks any conventional source of energy.

    Plant Biology

    Gregor Mendel Institute

    I’m in love with the plant world since almost 10 years. And when I say plant world, I mean the plants and the microorganisms living together. Since 2016, my postdoc project at Gregor Mendel Institute, in Vienna, combines high throughput root phenotyping and Genome Wide Association Studies on different plant species with the aim of putting together some pieces of the phosphate puzzle.

    I'm Massive's community and audience developer. During my PhD, I used stalagmites to create records of past climate that provide context for future climate change.

    My name's Dan. I'm the Senior Editor at Massive Science. When I was a researcher, I would read paper after paper, wishing scientists would write like humans. Now, at Massive, I am striking "furthermore" and "additionally" from the human lexicon.
