plate cameras are an underrated way to teach your robot what’s going on inside the well it’s pipetting
@AnthonyGuihur @ATinyGreenCell pylabrobot! it took 4 hours
SF Bankruptcy Auction: bid $10 on desks discover the lot is for 50 desks > nobody else bids now you have to move 50 desks.
posting our desk quotes because nobody does this SF: $8,000 desks $2,000 installation $2,000 after-hours installation $2,000 union labor $3,500 expedited delivery = $17,500, 1 month setup China: $8,000 desks $200 installation (Taskrabbit) $0 shipping = $8,200, 4 days setup
(8/13) Serial transplantation asks whether stem cells can rebuild one blood system, make more stem cells (self-renew), and then rebuild another. A blood transfusion supplies mature cells for a limited time, but a true HSC graft establishes the source that continuously produces new blood and immune cells. Together, these grafts persisted through nearly 10 months of continuous blood production in vivo.
I’m excited to share the first paper from my PhD research at @RetroBio_ (and my first paper as first author) - now on bioRxiv! Can we take adult human cells, turn them into blood-forming stem cells, and build a new blood system that is both functional and molecularly young? Our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.648…
Engrafted human iHSCs retain their youthful epigenetic age in vivo despite differentiation and prolonged transplantation.
I wrote about the call by frontier labs to start regulating DNA synthesis. I, and many lab biologists, think this would be damaging to American biotech. You can read my thoughts in core memory.

Set is ready @ElonMusk We built it 25min from downtown Austin and can shoot anytime in the next 7 days on 1h notice. Humanity is on the verge of becoming a multi-planet species and spacefaring civilization. My goal with this interview is to help people viscerally feel what that future is going to look like and get everyone excited to help build it.
I guess this is a good time to announce we are currently in the process of building a set for an interview with Elon. Will be finished next month and should be legendary. Elon - lmk if you're in

the HighRes MicroSpin is now supported in PLR our second centrifuge after the Agilent VSpin great first PR @claudioreiter! also thanks @_benray and @koeng101!
The era of cyborgs is upon us. In this episode (Substack tomorrow), we hang with Alex Smith who is controlling a robotic hand with his mind. This is the first step toward helping people who have lost limbs, but it's also clear that this technology could push us toward some weird futures. Elective amputations perhaps?
@srikosuri @koeng101 Hey Sri! Nice to meet you here. I have emailed you about 18 years ago when i was working for BGI and i started to assemble genes using oligo pools synthesized with CustomArray. Now i am developing more interesting things using our own oligo microarray synthesizer
@wasserstein_rao @joeben imagine the future we could have if @joeben didn't use ActiveX controls
“The logical thing to do is to use conventional equipment in an unconventional way to get to scale, and then start modifying the equipment to increase the rate”
