This is my DIY bioprinter in my kitchen, finishing up my first successful bioprint (with this machine) of a clitoris form in a homemade gelatin alginate bioink. I’m pretty sure it’s a world’s first. Tell me this isn’t the sexiest DIYbio you’ve ever seen! 🧪

First, very rough print test with the bioprinter I built (hacked from a 3D printer) and which lives on my kitchen counter. Dinner, anyone? 🧪 Next up are all the refinements with extrusion rate, nozzle gauge, etc., etc., etc. Just using a simple gelatin-alginate bioink I cooked up on my stove.

Genomic analysis shows that the cherished Australian ‘native’ daisy fleabane is really just another introduced weed #plantscience 🧪
For 170 years, botanists have believed that a rare daisy fleabane is an Australian native flower.
Now, genetic testing has revealed a surprising taxonomic twist – that this presumed native is actually an introduced weed.

After discovering recently that my voice was cloned through AI and used by advertisers on Meta platforms to sell their products, I stole my voice back and spoofed their ad, using my own similar product that I’d created in a lab in 2018: a skin cream using enzymes I derived from my saliva microbes. 🧪

AI cloned my voice and a company on the Meta platform used it in an ad to sell their beauty products. This IS MY VOICE, with some computer generated words thrown in.
I fully suspect that the AI feature used audio from my many long overseas voice calls through Instagram messaging.
