Anybody in Paris the week before iGEM and want to hang?
@TimSDobbs And don't forget the resouces here sila2.gitlab.io/sila_base/
Hey, how's it going? I just posted a new video talking about how automation integration can help do biotech better. 3 Recent Automation Integration Proposals autobio.blog/3-recent-autom…
Here's my latest on developing an open-source framework for scientific automation. I propose a framework to integrate robots and controllers faster, and do science better 🤖🦠 autobio.blog/open-source-in…
Where are the fermentation-data heads at? Do nice curves exist anymore?

Thrilled to see open qByte/qLAMP featured in the media I've been learning from since my teenage years! @make. makezine.com/article/maker-… Special thanks to @GOSHCommunity and @lpiparis_ (specifically SEED team) for making it possible.
Check out these new photos of the Open qLAMP V2.0 (Heated Lid)! Coming soon to your favorite convenience store, stay tuned!
docs.google.com/document/d/1xE… #seed2023 notes. All talks, all questions. 65,000 words, but there's a table of contents with summaries to help you find things. Pardon typos - I haven't edited yet. Lot of cell therapy this year, lots of machine learning.
@hsalis @TimSDobbs Funding agencies will get a lot of cool photos out of distributed foundries as well as cool photos of actual progress being made quickly.
@MarkBlenner @TimSDobbs Agencies like spending $ on foundries because the photos look cool. Split that $ across 100 labs and you will absolutely get more done, but no cool photos. So 😬. Let’s push for distributed foundries to get the best of both worlds :)

@TimSDobbs @thuronyi Here's a good chinese reseller that keeps prices low bc direct manufacturing relations. Lots of similar outfitd on Ali Baba and many on the easier Ali Express. We need procurement re-education, esp when buying the literal same product as OEM. joanlab.com
@ATinyGreenCell @TimSDobbs But I feel like you don't value your own time and energy as a cost input here, maybe because of your personal truly bananas attitude toward and motivation around science. I would argue that even reagent/supply-cheap data is often expensive
@TimSDobbs I clicked False and you asked why so: We can now collect 1000s of datapoints for less $ than a grad student stipend. But certainly not all datasets are equally useful or impactful. It’s important to design those experiments tailored to the Q at hand. Random exps are wasteful.
(I will abide by the results of this poll)
"What is the natural role of weak KRABS? Are they bad KRABS?" These are the right questions to be asking at #seed2023
Interested in cybergenetic feedback control following the talk from @KhammashLab #SEED2023 ? Check out these papers: nature.com/articles/s4146… nature.com/articles/s4146… nature.com/articles/s4146…
