The "carbon sink" aspect of this relies on semantics and isn't actually a meaningdul carbon sink. When any form of life does photosynthesis, it pulls carbon dioxide out of the air and makes some kind of carbon molecule out of it, like cellulose/lignin (plant tissue) or in this case a carbohydrate like glucose. That indeed removes carbon dioxide from the air. However, unless the ultimate product is a stable, sequestered carbon in a form like charcoal or carbonate mineral, then the carbon is in a form that is just waiting to react and ultimately turn back into CO2. In the example from the paper, the cell makes glucose. In actual applications, the cell would make some other carbon intermediate chemical that would be used in other biopharmaceutical processes before it is eventually cycled and reacted back into CO2.
This type of biopharma manufacturing could be less energy intensive than other pharma approaches and that would reduce lifecycle carbon emissions, but it wouldn't make the process a carbon sink unless the spent biomass from this type of process is turned into biochar or some other form of stable carbon.
Please ask him to share one or more of his favourite jokes. Here is one for him, hopefully he can read some English:

It's beyond credible, he agreed and admitted to reaching under the shoulder of that woman's dress looking for pluto in her tattoo. His account of sexually harassing his assistant is basically the same as hers as well. The only one he actually denied was drugging and removed-ing that other grad student in the 80s.
I suspect the broad strokes of this story are well known to long time newsheads, but here is a well sourced story on past and potential peace options for ukraine v Russia. If you are new to the news or are looking for something sharable to the libs in your life then this is a good one

Damn I wouldn't have thought that spending the last three years actively normalizing and arming nazis for democracy would backfire
I lived in aus for a few years and I liked seeing huntsmen because it meant that they were not all being eaten by those loud ass invasive geckos
But if I can't feed my cat True Instinct Wilderness Alpha Predator Ron Swanson Savage Tiger Boost Formula for Big Cuddly Boys, how will people know that my cat and by extension myself are actually rugged individualist manly men and not domesticated, urban treat babies?
I appreciate that phobias are deeper than rationality, but spiders are cool and good and they do their best to eat your pests
We use this kind of recipe (with vegan oyster sauce) and it is good. This on rice is tasty.
Generally, drying tofu first and squeezing moisture out helps you get the crispier surface. Breading the tofu with panko also helps with that, but I think of that as more of a frying method, not microwave
