Hello DIY Biology world! Here's a sneaky little protocol to kick things off. #diybio #biohacking #labhacks

Our COVID testing work is available!

Congratulations Open Cell London & School of Basic & Medical Biosciences Great to hear one of our members James Phillips was part of your international volunteer team!

Check out these artists-in-labs residencies for 3 synthetic biology Horizon 2020 projects and apply by the end of the month! x.com/BioFaction/sta…

New video is live! Been working on this one for many months so it's great to finally be able to share. Today we explore if GMOs could make malnutrition a thing of the past and make some nutrient enhanced baked goods using custom yeast! #biohacking youtu.be/DHNPnO5UOYQ

Already looking forward to our next #MicroTalks webinar? Join us with Anete Salmane next Tuesday at 12pm(BST) for a talk on using textiles for cultivation of red marine microalgae - Anete's video abstract is below and you can register at the link! bit.ly/Micro-Talks5 #SfAMECS

Exciting things brewing in Zurich! hackteria.org/uncategorized/…

Part 2 of the Cloning Workshop is out, I cover fragment PCR prep, DIY assembly mixes, controls, transformations, oh my! youtube.com/watch?v=HEbu86… No relevant thumbnail, so here's a scene from my shelf of interesting items:

Genspace is Hiring! ow.ly/YJxC50DCDSG We are looking for a Lab Manager with science AND people skills to join our team! If you are excited about expanding access to STEAM education and entrepreneurship in nontraditional settings, please apply by Friday, March 5th

Not much longer to go: DIY biologists tell us about your experiences! 🧑‍🔬 You can win $150, $50 & $30 giftcards to a merchant of your choice... plus it only takes 10 minutes! 😉 bit.ly/3cKiobM

Video hiatus is officially over. First one fresh out of the editing bay is out and it's a good one! You get to see part of my new lab, and I show how I made my Opentrons #OT2 robot paint using bacteria. Check it out: youtu.be/NDKLM-The7Y

Finally! Royal College of Art is opening its own #biolab soon to explore the future of #biomaterials. They are looking for a Bio-materials Technical Instructor to support the lab. 👉👉👉 buff.ly/3zbYqB1

#DIYbio: #Hacking & #ReverseEngineering a #HiSeq2000, next level #sequencing machine from Illumina to make it open & reusable for other purposes. Commands to control #laser, #optics, #cameras & #motors are documented: hackteria.org/wiki/HiSeq2000… #NGS #hackerspace #OpenHardware

What is a standard workflow for DNA analysis? In this week's vlog, Jennifer Shelton is doing a 101 of the steps involved using PCR and gel electrophoresis methods. youtu.be/IQopRzgR4AM #molbio

Another project at Biomakespace Makespace Biomaker meetup this evening: Noah Sprent has adapted the OpenFlexure Raspberry Pi camera holder to fit a dichroic longpass filter for taking photos of DNA gels - the power of modular #openhardware!

Turns out an over-the-counter laxative + cells (and a few other common lab ingredients) yields highly competent cells! Prepping our own cells in house like this takes the average student experiment from ~$12 each to less than a penny! Lower cost = Access

Cells are ready and our Etsy store is now stocked with these for purchase!!! No MTA, no red tape, and all just $20/plasmid or less. Shipping as agar stabs in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells. All proceeds go directly into making more tools for the community. Enjoy! etsy.com/shop/BinomicaL…

In Biomaker Meetup Makespace last night we continued turning a £100 peltier-controlled beer fridge/reptile egg incubator into a programmable lab incubator with a data logger. Measurements taken, so we'll have components for prototyping at our April Meetup!
