Today, we hosted an incredible Bio-101 course at Lagrange Point led by Pranav We discussed everything between gene transfer and mutations, viruses and DNA sequencing and had some amazing discussions about the mutations in genetic material and cancer.

Last night, some of us at Lagrange Point met to figure out how to detect plastic contamination in our food. We want to figure out how to detect both microplastics and leached plasticizers at scale We've reached out to and gotten a response from many labs in Bangalore,

A big blocker for ambitious kids is access to quality tools. I remember yearning for a logic analyzer throughout school, but the price was always too high. We're fixing this, starting with making a Raman Spectrometer in homage to the great CV Raman (who was also from Bengaluru!)

Apple released a hearing aids feature for the AirPods Pro a while ago. I bought a pair for grandma, but then realized that the feature was geoblocked in India So we at Lagrange Point decided to unblock it. It ended up involving a leaky microwave and building a Faraday cage:

Last week, I built a Faraday cage with friends We built this to unlock hearing aids mode on the  AirPods for grandma, geoblocked in India for regulatory reasons This cage is in Koramangala, Bangalore 🇮🇳. But inside the cage, your phone thinks it's Menlo Park, California 🇺🇸

Built a super fast search engine for finding electronics components in India 🇮🇳 with Rithwik (is in SF) We've got components with pricing and stock info from different Indian vendors (like Robu, Probots etc) Using it for finding parts for our own hacks, and it is fast (link below ⏚)

We're starting to release talks at Turing's Dream online! Rithvik RithvikVibhu/, Arnav Arnav Bansal ⠕ and Rithwik Rithwik (is in SF) "hacked" Airpods using a Faraday cage to unlock geo-locked hearing aids capability (it worked in US, but not in India). Watch 10 min talk on Youtube 👇

AQI has been a pressing issue in India but we only seemed to obssess over it after Bryan Johnson walked out of the podcast with Nikhil Kamath Nithin Kamath talked about how AQI should be corelated to factors like real estate prices. We at Lagrange Point wanted to verify
