Off to Chicago to tour Ball Horticultural and give a talk on all the cool stuff we're up to at Neoplants! Excited to talk flower design, Ai driven morphological exploration, and the deeply universal desire to bring beauty to this world by learning from nature. Let there be flowers.

Bioengineering is just so cool. Poking at a cold fire that's been burning for billions of years, trying to get it to burn in a particular way, is nothing short of real practical magic.

I repurposed my old Samsung S10+ as a duckweed growth monitoring server without any extra hardware. All processing done via termux on the phone. Thank you Claude for the from-scratch blob detection bc no termux OpenCV packages available. Needs work but not bad for a oneshot!

Ive been using this in my golden braid reactions and might actually go isothermal, speeding up a lot of my cloning runs. Only $8 more expensive than regular T4 Ligase. @NEBiolabs knocks it out of the park, yet again.

So cool to see a successful meristemic pocket hit. Root is red and a lil stunted. Getting closer. Also nice example of the stunting phenotype RUBY causes due to heavy tyrosine sink.

AC broke down and we had a baaad heatwave while I was away. This is why I dont like working with Arabidopsis. Meanwhile petunia could care less, lol. At least some survived...

PHEW! Did an insane amount of physical therapy last week and took a lil time off to recover. Finally making inroads to fixing my spine and not be in endless pain. Excited to be back at the helm and continue my (mis)adventures in plant bioengineering. Let's do this.

Thrilled!

Hey microbio ppl, how bad is the cyclosporiasis outbreak? Should I be worried and avoid produce rn?

Manifesting getting my crap together to one day afford this comfortably. Also analog synthesizers inspire my device design style profoundly. I want all my science tools to control like analog synths; I even use headphone jacks (TRRS) as I²C interfaces. More on that soon!

It's wild how actually useful my chemistry courses have been in my bioengineering uncareer. One of the few value adds my brief experience with undergrad education afforded me. Gen chem, orgo, and obviously biochem were excellent at Stony Brook University. Top shelf chem dept!

SpliceCraft's main constraint of "it must work in *any* terminal" has been a really fun challenge so far. Had to make some compromises, but constraint breeds creativity. It's an exercise in accessibility that often is an afterthought these days. Low Res High Tech

@plasmidsaurus.bsky.social never sleeps. Handed my pack to UPS around 5pm and its already in their robots in Kentucky by 630am the next morning. Incredible.

What is a virtual cell?

We are lil clumps of atoms feeling our way down a road that randomly ends one day, but along that road are other clumps of atoms to play with and love and experience. Such a strange reality, but I'm glad y'all are in it. Have fun, be kind, and love as much as you can. 💚

@breakliquid.bsky.social and I are delighted to say our OpenEVO preprint is finally live! An open source hand-made turbidostat that's modular, affordable, and made to be customized. Designed with love for the research community. Enjoy!!!💚 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

OpenEvo: An Open-Source Platform for Automated Evolution and AnalysisHere we introduce OpenEvo, a fully open-source, low-cost turbidostat platform for automated continuous culture and directed evolution experiments. Existing tools are expensive, complex, or lack open-s...www.biorxiv.org

Oooooh, rare maple triple-seed. Was sweeping the porch and this caught my eye. Typically maple trees only male seeds as fused pairs, like wings on a plane. This one has THREE seeds, a bit malformed, but perfectly symmetrical at its seam.
