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.

I have a chapter in this newly published book, Blut (Blood), published by Akademie Hallein, Austria.

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.
Beware!

Good morning from paradise! Here on Maui I’m working on a project as part of ecoartspace’s Australian Dialogues — I’m looking at colonial and indigenous trans-plantation of plant species from Australia to the Hawaiian islands over the centuries, and how this has shaped Hawaiian cultural identity. 🧪

New Substack post: “December 31 will mark the 40-week gestation period of these untouchable materials, hermetically sealed in glass, buried in horse shit, and fed with what I call arcanum sanguinis foemina, or female occult blood—and, menstruation is occult because it is hidden (occulted) knowledge”

Just hung this work again after being in storage for 3 years! From my 2018 project, Salivam.
Large format print on mylar, mounted on a custom light box. This is an SEM capture of Bacillus cereus from my saliva, cultured on collagen. The microbes have degraded the collagen with proteolytic enzymes. 🧪

About to test run my 3D printer before taking it to the lab at the Ottawa Heart Institute to start modifying it into a bioprinter.

This! Thank you! I use AI for a first ‘sketch’ to prototype some of my ideas for actual things I plan to build. It’s super useful for giving people you’re collaborating with a visual of what you envision materializing. Here’s an example of a prototype I generated using AI for a thing I will build.

Thank you to one of my Insta peeps 🐸 for sending this fascinating research into the frog microbiome. If this doesn’t scream witch’s brew, I don’t know what does. #witchesinlabs
