A quote from Dr Micaela Chacón, overlaid on a photo of people conducting research at a hotspring, reads: I’m delighted to receive this BBSRC Fellowship. Carbon loss is often treated as an unavoidable part of microbial production, but I think we should be asking whether nature has already evolved better ways to retain it. I’m excited to have the opportunity to explore that question across diverse microbes and use what we learn to rethink how production organisms are selected and evaluated.
