Since Dolly the sheep, cloning has been possible. But what was once a fringe technique confined to a lab, has now become an every day service for your beloved pets. So what would it take to clone a person? And how do we make a clone tank to grow it in? Find out in our new video! youtu.be/HW-aygjNU1Q
Could I clone myself like Cleon?

Have you ever wondered if the meat in the grocery store is still alive? Well we did, and thought we'd check and see if it is. The answer will take us through the entire Frankenstein tech tree, as we see what it would take to bring grocery store meat back from the brink of death. youtu.be/xSCl_FBbq_E
Is your steak still alive?

It worked. Every single corpse we purchased was successfully resurrected. The dead live once more. Video coming soon.

My actual to-do list today:
Resurrect the dead
Film it

My to-do list for tomorrow:
Check if it worked
Film it.

It's finally complete! Come meet Yorick, our new levitating, talking, servo skull. We went all out on this build and I think it came out great.

We just posted a really cool collab video with a company called Neoplants that's making genetically engineered house plants that clean the air. We take a deep dive into how you even make modified plants in the first place, and see how they test them: youtu.be/ib-D1EelH4Y

So cool to see this collab between Thought Emporium and Neoplants! Justin did a great job explaining the tech without prereq knowledge. Some of my tools make a lil cameo in their fancy Parisian lab. 💚

One of the worst crimes of Russia’s war is the abduction of children. This Yale lab tracked the kids. Trump and Rubio cut the funding. You can help. Urge Rubio to reinstate the funding — and donate here.

Rescissions package passed by a single vote. Devastating but we fight on in the Senate. This cannot become law. Millions will die.
The House is voting on the rescissions package THIS THURSDAY.

Congress is considering devastating cuts to global health funding, including to PEPFAR and ‪@unicef.org

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

My favourite conspiracy is that ghosts ARE real, but they don't obey gravity.... so they get left in space. We've never found one because earth is moving through space, but without gravity to hold them to the planet, they are quickly left behind in the void.

Okay so current plan is to tighten the belt on any unnecessary expenses, double down on my hardware design time and build that modular plate reader and offer it in my shop asap. In the meantime, I'm hoping some of the leads from y'all crystalize into more stable contract work🤞🤞 Thank you all for RTs
I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs.

It feels incredibly weird to be purposely growing a liter of mold, but here we are. We're trying to grow our own penicillin for a video, which means lots and lots of blue mold. But that means carefully formulating a growth media.... for mold. Which feels very silly.

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause.

Meanwhile, retirees, small businesses, and workers are still reeling from the mess.

Trump's actions feel chaotic until you see who really comes out on top.

This is the budget resolution that Republicans have voted for.

Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

This intro to synthetic biology is an awesome feat of science communication - zero to repressilator in 45 min!

Reminds me of the tutorials by @synbio1.bsky.social (m.youtube.com/@syntheticbi...) that I learned from back in the day.

Looking forward to watching the companion video on @nebula.tv next

Terrifying? Amazing? Horrifying? Inspiring? Probably at least two of those..

If you're a software dev type (or scifi author?) and have not really looked at this stuff before, you should definitely watch this one. Many parallels..

One thing we really ought to do now is fast-track the Ukrainian membership in the European Union. Not just as a middle finger to russia, but because it shreds Trump's rare earth mineral treaty nonsense.
