It's great to work at the interface of hardware, software, and biology, because you can get frustrated by three entirely different kinds of toolchains

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-int…

Open-Source Integration Will Give You Super Powers

Science is tough - we should automate it. But automation integration takes forever. Why is this all so hard?

I applaud the intellectual honesty of such a social network
Omar Rizwan@rsnous4 Jan 2024
what about an online social network where they mail you a mask when you sign up & the app keeps the webcam on and identifies you by the mask (you can only use the app while you're wearing the mask)

Thrilled to see open qByte/qLAMP featured in the media I've been learning from since my teenage years! @make. makezine.com/article/maker-n… Special thanks to @GOSHCommunity and @lpiparis_ (specifically SEED team) for making it possible.

Open Source Hardware Certifications For August 2023 - Make:

In August we added 64 new certifications, from medical equipment to musical instruments to engine control units, and everything in between, and we were happy to have new and recurring names showing...

docs.google.com/document/d/1… #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.

Funding agencies will get a lot of cool photos out of distributed foundries as well as cool photos of actual progress being made quickly.

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 :)

This is now a cheap-but-reliable lab supplier appreciation thread

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/

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

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.
