Tried out Google's Antigravity today! For a while wanted to introduce a dark mode for the @djosergenomics.github.io Website so decided to let Antigravity's AI Agent take on the task and it performed very well done. Saved me a lot of time indeed!

Week 4 of HTGAA (Protein Design) is done & I'm amazed!
I was always intimidated by 3D protein models in papers & never thought I'd understand them one day!
Today, I loaded a PDB file into PyMOL, saw the alpha helices & beta sheets of my Tyrosinase enzyme.
This is so cool. 🚀

I'm really enjoying the HTGAA course so far 🥳
Week 3 of HTGAA is all about lab automation! 🤖
I wrote a script to program a virtual Opentrons robot to draw my Djoser Genomics pyramid. It simulates robots pipetting 100+ dots of fluorescent E.coli because manually it is slow & error-prone.

I'm planning on making a series of mini blog tutorials on bulk RNAseq, they'll be beginner friendly to help someone who's just starting.
I'm also planning to theme it around ancient Egypt just like Djoser ;D

Hey Bluesky! I’m an oyster and kelp farmer in Maine. I haven’t seen much aquaculture content here yet, so here’s a quick video of seeding my kelp farm recently. Seed line is densely covered in tiny kelp sporophytes. By May they will grow 6-8 feet long!
