[sudoroom] Bringing the Biohackers to Oakland :)

Mon Jul 30 12:23:49 CEST 2012

Sorry - won't be able to meet with the biohackers this evening, because
I'll be busy biohacking. ;-)

On Mondays, I'm at BioCurious working on our Bioluminescence project. We're
trying out some plant fertilizers as DIY growth medium for our
bioluminescent dinoflagellates, building a highly sensitive light meter
using an arduino,  engineering bacterial bioluminescence pathways into E.
coli, and are planning to make some bioluminescent plants (Arabidopsis)
soon...
