Very cool to get a glimpse into how biotech was (and could be again!) more open for everyone to participate in! Thanks for introducing me to an interesting artist

Sadly, it's in the collection of the Imperial War Museum in London and no hint on the site if it's even in a public gallery...

Same expression got used in Diablo 2 online play back in like 2001! I didn't play Diablo 1 online so no idea if it's even older...

At least the iSeq is terrible enough on the reads/$ metric that no one should be mad to try sequencing patient material on it, so any hacks shouldn't have any issues with medical information getting leaked... Silver lining?

So I dug through the icy crust of a -20C and found raw gut extract from that species, collected by my supervisor 20+years before (I was barely 20 then!). We thawed it out, did a quick activity assay and still had detectable activity after being together with all the gut proteases for 20+ years!

This popped on my timeline and it justified an instant follow for bringing back a similar memory from early in my undergrad. I was interning in a lab that did insect biochemistry and didn't have adults on hand for the species of the protein that I got assigned to purify. 1/

Reminds me of a dinner for a synthetic biology conference at the National museum of Scotland... They tried to keep us nosy geeks contained to just the main hall, but of course someone gently nudged a barrier out of the way so we could all get a view of Dolly the Sheep without the daytime tourists!

If you don't already follow @seamus.bsky.social, I think you may like his feed: I believe he's growing cacao in LA to make his own choc on top of other hobbies like baking with ancient Egyptian yeast and designing the original XBox.
