WE’RE HIRING! Homeworld Collective is looking for a Science Director and a Geobiotechnology Program Lead to help us continue growing the field of climate biotech. Science Director: Our current Science Director, Paul Reginato, will be re-focusing on his passion of deep scientific work as a Founding Scientist. We’re excited to onboard an experienced scientific leader to grow the capacity and strategic vision of our science team as our new Science Director. ➡️ Apply here: https://lnkd.in/gngtZ7rg Scientist and Geobiotechnology Program Lead: Geobiotechnology is underdeveloped relative to its huge potential for impact in mining, materials, carbon management, and energy. We’re looking for an outstanding geobiologist to boost the field as Scientist and Geobiotechnology Program Lead. ➡️ Apply here: https://lnkd.in/g_GEuBVF #climatebiotech #geobiotechnology #jobs #hiring

💡 Have an idea you want to get off the ground? We present: Our two-pager on two-pagers — a format we’ve found highly effective for generating interest from funders and collaborators. Two-pagers clearly convey a vision, a basic plan of execution, and the authenticity of the team as an efficient way to iterate towards a full proposal. They can help you refine your concept, resolve key questions, and give your network an easy and low-effort way to share your idea even further. Read more on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gQNb27QB

Lisa Y. Stein is a world leader in methane and nitrogen microbiology. Recently, she and Mary Lidstrom published a perspective article in Science Magazine about how strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must consider methane and nitrous oxide together, not as separate entities.

“What if we lived in a world of perfect molecular information in which every molecule is accounted for and every downstream cascade is perfectly observable?” 16% of human deaths globally are directly attributed to pollution today, and by 2050, 12% of radiative forcing will be due to industrial byproducts. In his blog post, Daniel Goodwin explores the multifaceted problem of pollution, and how — with the right direction — biotech could be leveraged for the betterment of planetary and human health: https://lnkd.in/gzRQwksZ
