Well with all the new twitter DM issues and rules a plenty, I need to start crossposting at least. Bah, tech is such trash...

@patrickboyle @Odedrechavi its real quiet up in this :/

For Nanopore Community Meeting #ncm2022 - my onsite poster number is #7, and online number is #16. I'll be around the poster from 4 to 5:15 or so, please do stop by and provide some feedback! Especially interested in feedback for #Deinococcus #phages #plasmids #phylogeny

Over on the hellsite, there's a thoughtful intro to the work of Michael Noll, Bell Labs 1962. Particularly interesting in how it intersected with categorization and law.

I was raised on this stuff but I don't think it gets the airtime it deserves, especially with the current what do you call it, zeitgeist?

Happy to announce I got a remote gig with neoplants.com!!!! Off to Paris for a 2 week meet and greet and proper onboarding. More details later, including career opportunities for academics/PhDs looking to shift to industry. So excited to work with Pothos!!!

@Birk_lab as for pressure, gonna keep it low and slow and use stepper peristaltics to pump and take my time

@Birk_lab the UV sensor from adafruit is not sensitive enough at 280nm and I dont want to crank up the UVC LED power to burn the proteins just to make up for a crappy sensor. Spinning a new board with a better photodiode, a simple transimpedence amplifier, and an ADC chip all on the same tiny board. Ill provide gerbers and a short howto to order and assemble the parts.

@lindsayellis glad to know you are well! Your books are a delight.

@adamwolf microbiology is always a good gateway drug into learning about the living world. Carolina dot com and Edvotek dot com sell all sorts of classroom-friendly kits that explore many aspects of biology. Also happy to chat about ideas. How old are the kiddos?

Evolution is amazing

I can't imagine how profound post-covid humanity will be in just 10 years time.

Well let's try this out! Had some thoughts on Effective Altruism, natural order, and a guy who thought rocks might be DTF. Is this the sort of thing we talk about here? https://medium.com/@Keira_Havens/box-of-rocks-b8aec0c8710e

I have a question for #microbiology and #genomics people here. We have a BL21 strain with a pET based plasmid that shows radically different OD600 at 2 hour mark even when split out of single tube grown over night, inoculated from single isolated colony. Any idea what could be going on in these situations? Are we looking at a mystery polyclonal culture?

Found a really nice #opamp to design my #UVC detector for my #bespoke #FPLC project. It has really low input bias current and offset #voltage. It's a bit slow with a slew rate of about 0.35v/us (would take about 14 #microseconds to rise from 0 to 5v) but, for my needs, this is perfect. Also found a better #UVC detector that has high sensitivity around 280nm. Time to draft a #transimpedence amplifier #circuit #PCB!

Evolutionary Ecology of Fire - a review of the current state of the art just published in Ann Rev Ecol Evol Syst @AnnualReviews

How #fire shaped our #biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests, shrublands, savannas & grasslands across the globe?

CURE completed in General Botany (sophomore course) #ECSU. Lower zeatin concentration had higher shoot regeneration 🧫🌱🪴 in mature tomato 🍅 leaf explants. Thanks to Dr. Adedeji for SEM 🔬 pictures #HBCU #undergradinthelab

Just a reminder to all of those who are new around here and getting used to the mechanics of mastodon timelines.
