So, as I'm learning 3D printing, I'm going to upload all functional designs I make to my Page:
First one is a pipette stand https://t.co/unukwUoJ3d
You can download if you want to. Instructions for assembly are included:)

Pineda et al. from @UNALmedellin published the "MEDUSA: An #opensource and webcam-based multispectral imaging system". A low-cost #DIY alternative with applications to #biology, #agriculture, counterfeit analysis, based on a web camera and LED lighting. https://t.co/3IPxnrdRQK

I had the honor of giving a lecture on the history of computers in biology (mostly genomics) to the Genomics Summer Research for Minorities community yesterday. Putting the slides together was a fun exercise in science and personal history. Slides here: https://t.co/X3SZcITICL

Awesome nm-precision(!!) 3D-printed flexure based design that could be evolved for uses in #openhardware #bioimaging setups and automatic alignments. Inspiring 10min well spent on @YouTube

It is shocking to see what can cause leaky gut.
Sugary diet, alcohol, many painkillers, even acid reflux medications....
Most of these studies are in mice as it is difficult to measure leaky gut in humans.

A bit late in spreading the word, but @LizScurious & I are hosting a session on "Evolution of Microbial Communities" in ISME18, Lausanne🇨🇭Aug 14-19. https://t.co/AiHoYHWGWA
Many other cool sessions & really looking like a fun conference! Abstract submission deadline on April 1st

[Tom Ellis @ProfTomEllis]

End of our yeast synthetic lab series today and students are super excited to see their yeast living bio art plates. So many cool designs from their engineered strains making pigments and fluorescent proteins. 👏
Who wants to see some pretty plates? ⬇️

Condensates have no membrane boundary, so molecules pass in & out unimpeded, right?? Wrong!! Nice theory paper by Jun Zhang & Wingreen & co (with supporting role from Cliff + Howard Stone), on interfacial resistance & "biomolecular bouncing". https://t.co/vi34jBbrvL
