Part of the day we will be volunteering with Bay Area Applied Mycology 

planning stages underway

It's a rainy day, much welcome in this drought-stricken state (California).   I hope everyone had a nice holiday. Here we are writing and revising our design and protocol for the premier experiment. We'll post more about this as we progress.  We will be making a propaganda video to raise the financing we need to get into the lab with all our materials and equipment ready to go.  Since we may or may not be successful at first, we'll work on raising enough for several experiments, fine tuning each time until we get the desired result.  Thanks for reading.  

We were at the Hacking the Human Body conference on Thursday, which had a full day of presentations and panels on a wide variety of subjects, including robotics, neuroscience, synthetic biology, synthetic neurobiology, music therapy, prosthetic limbs, bio-remediation, and brain sensing technology.  This was at Digital Garage in SF, they have an excellent crew supporting events there.  

BLOG INAUGURATION

BLOG INAUGURATION

This blog could also be titled "adventures in biology" because it is going to chronicle our journeys into the life of cells and molecules.  The San Francisco Bay Area is a brilliant point of light in the global science network (You knew that, didn't you?). I'd like to thank the citizen scientists of the Bay Area biohacker community for your kind help and support.  I'm not mentioning any names in this post but you know who you are.  Nenufar loves you!
Nenufar is preparing to conduct our first experiment to produce a peptide,  Hey, why don't we give it a name?

NML-0001

Our interest in lectins with antiviral properties led to research that indicates that this peptide may have medical applications.  We will say more about this in future posts.

We will welcome any interested parties interested in science to join with us on this adventure,  please leave your comments and questions as the experiment progresses.
