微生物学家利用细菌代谢应对气候变化

Avi Flamholz leverages computational tools and microbial biochemistry to improve climate models and provide novel engineering solutions to address climate change. BY SHELBY BRADFORD, PhD Climate change is an urgent, global problem, and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere requires novel solutions. Despite the massive scale of the situation, one researcher is taking a microscopic approach by studying how microbes could be both friend and foe in the climate crisis. After completing a computer science degree at Princeton Uni- versity in 2007, Avi Flamholz worked as a software engineer for Google. Three years later, though, he found himself searching for a more fulfilling career. …
