| kanzure | "I am a Bio major at CSULA and I am very excited that I have found this group. I am interested in your projects and I would love to participate and help in any way possible." | 09:26 |
| kanzure | ". I am currently interested in all fields of Bio ( or any other science) but I especially like genetic manipulation or any biotechnology. I hope to learn more advanced lab techniques/procedures as well as the knowledge and theory that i is required to perform such experiments." | 09:26 |
| kanzure | "I want to do a simple little experiment to show to the nephews. I'd like to take some E. coli and make them glow by some good ol' fashioned bioluminescence using the pLux gene from Vibrio fischeri. I've done similar recombinant stuff in the lab at school and it's a super straight forward procedure so I thought it'd be fun." | 09:29 |
| kanzure | "Trouble is... Where do I get the plasmids? I cannot find plasmids for the pLux gene anywhere. I thought about ordering a culture of V. fischeri and extracting the gene out via PCR... but I do not have a PCR machine yet. Hell, I don't even know if I can make a plasmid out of PCR products??" | 09:29 |
| kanzure | "But how can I combine that, remove the bad plasmide from that bacterium and insert the glowing genes (but not the saline genes, because the tree shouldn't need salty water to live like the bacterium)." | 09:30 |
| kanzure | "I read about DIYbio in Discover Magazine, and I was instantly in love with the idea of DIY organisms. However, I don't have anything beyond a very basic layman's understanding of how DNA functions..." | 09:31 |
| kanzure | "Where should a noob like me start looking for information? The idea I had was to introduce a gene into a cactus to change it's color, or even make it glow if possible." | 09:31 |
| kanzure | "I'm from the DC area looking to start a project up. I could use some insight and advice on how to get my project going, and if anybody is in the area, people who might be interested hearing about it and collaborating. While I'm still developing my idea, I envision the project sort of iGEM-esque (or maybe that's how all these projects start...)," | 09:32 |
| kanzure | "but would like some input as to how people start their projects; if no formal laboratory facilities are availabe, how/where people purchase lab equipment; and maybe some info on unforseen experimental challenges or technical difficulties people have had." | 09:32 |
| kanzure | "...trying to make myself cognizant of these issues as I develop my project. Thanks for any and all advice in advance." | 09:32 |
| kanzure | "1) Is it worthwhile to take the "reverse genetics" approach, inserting and removing genes with the hope of a meaningful outcome?" | 09:33 |
| kanzure | "2.) I was looking at beginning my research with the Drosophilas and microinjection. Is this a decent starting point for a low-budget? I've built my own functional micromanipulator, but I'm not familiar with pricing for gene synthesis etc." | 09:33 |
| kanzure | "Can anyone help me get into genetic engineering. What can I do? How can I start? The thing I am looking to do with it is (with no aims or goals like to cure cancer) create a living creature, or create biological circuits so that you have living electronics (hack my toys to make them pets!)." | 09:34 |
| kanzure | "What could I do to do a "hello world?"" | 09:34 |
| kanzure | "I studied mathematic, and i'm currently studying cognitive science in college. What you people are doing seem pretty interesting. I've always been interested by science. So my question would be naive : where do i start?" | 09:35 |
| kanzure | "I'm getting really interested in DIYBio and hope to do stuff with chlorophyll (green, plant stuff, sorry if that was the wrong word!) and bacteria. Unfortunatly, I have no idea how to get dna into bacteria. I think it involves getting plasmids but I don't know much. Any help at all would be great!!" | 09:38 |

| kanzure | "The procedure was to first add diluent, to all 96 wells with a dropper. The technician holding eight loops at a time would move them from row to row, twirling to obtain mixing, and then transfer 25μL or 50μL to the next row (Figure 3)" | 09:46 |

| kanzure | "The accepted method of cleaning the Microtiter® loop was to flame them to incandescence, then dip them in water. The sudden contraction popped off contaminates. To accomplish this, the Autotiter had a propane burner and a running water bath. At an ASM meeting in Philadelphia someone reversed the connections." | 09:58 |
| kanzure | "The effort to light the burner resulted in a propane-fed flaming torch about three feet high. With the stench of singed hair still prevalent, the Fire Marshall arrived on the scene to remind us open flames were not allowed." | 09:58 |

| nmz787 | no one ever really used it | 14:58 |
| nmz787 | i don't think there was much of anything there anyway... not sure if i backed it up | 14:59 |

| gnusha | diyhpluswiki.git: fee376b fix sterilization typo | 15:13 |
| kanzure | the faq should probably be segmented into different sections | 15:14 |
| kanzure | there's usually a big set of questions even for each individual protocol | 15:14 |
| kanzure | e.g. always someone wondering about modifying the calcium chloride transformation protocols | 15:15 |
| kanzure | or the inevitable questions about why their gel runs are smearing | 15:15 |
| nmz787 | gels are something of a black art i think | 15:15 |
| nmz787 | or maybe the people in the know only publish answers in springer books | 15:15 |
| nmz787 | that i haven't found and downloaded yet | 15:16 |
| kanzure | the most probable reason that your gel smears is that god hates you | 15:16 |
| kanzure | the second most probable reason is contamination | 15:16 |
| nmz787 | hah | 15:18 |
| nmz787 | not contam | 15:18 |
| nmz787 | no really weird shit can happen | 15:18 |
| kanzure | well, i had contamination issues when i spent a month running 100s of gels | 15:19 |
| kanzure | to be fair i was doing weird things | 15:19 |
| kanzure | e.g. the problems were mostly upstream in the pcr steps | 15:19 |
| nmz787 | tom knight was telling me to do extra DNA precipitations a while ago, that helped things (getting rid of other ions) but it didn't make them perfect | 15:19 |
| nmz787 | not just smearing though, wiggly lanes and weird shit | 15:19 |
| nmz787 | like someone took a picture of a perfect gel, printed it on transparency plastic, then warmed up the plastic so it got all deformed | 15:20 |
| kanzure | "the weegie board guide to molecular biology (not endorsed by the national spiritualist organization)" | 15:20 |
| nmz787 | the new FAQ questions look good | 15:21 |
| kanzure | they should probably be split up | 15:21 |
| kanzure | into segments | 15:21 |
| nmz787 | we could have been using shitty agarose, though I don't know | 15:21 |
| nmz787 | hah, i just noticed one of my own questions | 15:22 |
| kanzure | the sections could be: gel electrophoresis questions, transformation questions, incubation, all things glowing/gfp, thermocycling/pcr, dna extraction, sequencing, primers and primer design, stochiometry/dilutions/buffers/math, making equipment, buying equipment | 15:23 |
| kanzure | but this is already way too many subtopics for one person to deal with | 15:23 |
| nmz787 | "Are there any poly(T) oligo columns on sale that have a free 3' end" | 15:23 |
| kanzure | there are some other questions of yours in there | 15:24 |
| nmz787 | a bit too technical for a beginner, cory was the only one to reply :P | 15:24 |
| kanzure | oh and then there's lots of software questions, which should be organized somehow | 15:24 |
| nmz787 | there could be a question "Do only PhDs answer these FAQ questions" | 15:24 |
| nmz787 | geez another one from me... i must be the redheaded stepchild of DIYbio that doesn't get noticed because i'm shoved in the closet under the stairs | 15:26 |
| kanzure | i don't understand that analogy at all | 15:26 |
| nmz787 | lol | 15:26 |
| nmz787 | you could copy the P is for plasmid google doc that was floating around for the glossary | 15:26 |
| nmz787 | 'a is for autoclave' https://docs.google.com/document/d/10OlwuiGhIIToPlzpywQhOL0hNyAWdZsR06DPubjlcrM/edit | 15:27 |
| gnusha | diyhpluswiki.git: 5b172a4 possible way to organize these questions | 15:29 |
| nmz787 | i've been in the habit of capitalizing Science lately | 15:30 |
| nmz787 | like the religious folks do with their deities | 15:30 |
| kanzure | organizing questions around different methods (gels, blots, precipitation, ...) feels like it's missing the ponit | 15:32 |
| kanzure | *point | 15:32 |
| kanzure | but they are still important questions | 15:32 |
| kanzure | like, i can't manually maintain a FAQ for all 4000 protocols on protocols-online.org.. if each protocol gets 10 questions that's 40,000 questions. | 15:32 |
| nmz787 | yeah | 15:36 |
| nmz787 | i was thinking a lot of the questions are great, and worth taking the time to add answers | 15:36 |
| nmz787 | but that it would be hard for someone to search through | 15:36 |
| nmz787 | since there are so many | 15:36 |
| kanzure | i have noticed that many people read about diybio in the news | 15:37 |
| kanzure | and then join the mailing list | 15:37 |
| kanzure | and then ask "okay, what do i need to get started" | 15:37 |
| kanzure | which is a totally hopeless question.. | 15:37 |
| kanzure | there are just so many possible projects that it's difficult to enumerate them all | 15:38 |
| nmz787 | yeah, well, if they need somewhere to get started... we either put them through the PITA many roads..... or we say Carolina Kit | 15:40 |
| nmz787 | but even that doesn't give you gel loading or analysis training | 15:40 |
| kanzure | why is everyone so interested in gfp? i did the gfp kit in high school and it wasn't that exciting. | 15:40 |
| nmz787 | HOWTO use a micropipettor can be a challenge for college students | 15:41 |
| kanzure | gfp is very useful in research projects for other reasons, but by that point you are using it for some practical ends | 15:41 |
| nmz787 | I've seen students use them without tips, and heard stories of grad students doing that too | 15:41 |
| nmz787 | then again i started biohacking in my kitchen after 9th grade | 15:41 |
| nmz787 | but i started with books and long ass FAQs | 15:42 |
| nmz787 | which I was fine with | 15:42 |

| kanzure | no | 15:46 |
| nmz787 | nope | 15:46 |
| kanzure | it sounds like an ftp server for microscopy images | 15:46 |
| skorket | more like a filesystem/management environment | 15:46 |
| kanzure | huh, maradydd was making her own calcium chloride? | 15:50 |
| kanzure | skorket: you have been pre-selected; we are redoing the diybio faq | 15:51 |

| skorket | I won't be representative | 15:51 |
| kanzure | i know | 15:51 |
| kanzure | go ahead anyway :P | 15:51 |
| skorket | what kind of questions do you want? | 15:51 |
| kanzure | skorket: any kind | 15:53 |

| kanzure | i fear that roombas have already reached peak popularity | 17:57 |
| kanzure | so the joke might not be that strong | 17:57 |
| nmz787 | punchline to what though? | 17:58 |
| kanzure | *shrug* | 17:58 |
| * kanzure protects his list of zingers (ok, i don't have a list of zingers really) | 17:59 | |

| gnusha | diyhpluswiki.git: 3e56974 just some introductory books | 19:24 |
| kanzure | yashgaroth: got any better ideas? http://diyhpl.us/wiki/diybio/faq/better-questions | 19:25 |
| yashgaroth | you did all that since yesterday? | 19:26 |
| yashgaroth | "Why are there no really good biology forums?" oh god it's so true :( | 19:27 |
| yashgaroth | looks good to me, should fill in the answers before adding new Qs | 19:30 |
| kanzure | yeah i don't know how to structure it, a lot of these aren't actually "frequently" asked | 19:31 |
| yashgaroth | anyone know if the khan academy videos for bio are any good? might as well add a link if they are | 19:31 |
| kanzure | i haven't tried them yet | 19:32 |
| yashgaroth | oh and NCBI bookshelf would be good | 19:32 |
| kanzure | that's mentioned in the actual faq elsewhere | 19:33 |
| kanzure | so, these are just questions that i extracted from the mailing list | 19:33 |
| kanzure | the number one most frequently asked question is a meaningless one ("how do i get started") | 19:34 |
| yashgaroth | damn they're coming out of the woodwork in that non-biology-native guy's thread | 19:36 |
| kanzure | "Is there a simple kit to order and start with or a book that isn't a textbook?" | 19:38 |
| kanzure | that isn't a textbook? what does he want, biology by fortune cookie notes? | 19:38 |
| yashgaroth | honestly neither the google group nor diybio.org actually have biology information or links to it, far as I can tell | 19:39 |
| kanzure | that's true | 19:39 |
| kanzure | and no link to the faq | 19:39 |
| kanzure | i have been debating whether or not i should send out an email about the faq being moved | 19:40 |
| yashgaroth | who owns the group, mac cowell? | 19:40 |
| kanzure | i didn't ask jonathan cline about moving it | 19:40 |
| kanzure | mac cowell and jason bobe | 19:40 |
| yashgaroth | yeah a link to OWW and/or the faq would theoretically cut down on the getting started spam...theoretically | 19:41 |
| kanzure | i don't think the oww faq does a good job | 19:42 |
| yashgaroth | well it's better than "welcome to the group! here's a link to a worthless site! ask stupid questions below" | 19:42 |
| kanzure | haha | 19:43 |
| kanzure | well, i think i should send out an email about the faq move | 19:43 |
| -!- rmcl [~rmcl@99-71-136-35.lightspeed.sndgca.sbcglobal.net] has quit [Quit: rmcl] | 19:43 | |

| delinquentme | " Imagine how big that is " | 20:06 |
| joshcryer | Expected porn. Was acceptable. | 20:07 |
| superkuh | I remember that event. | 20:08 |
| delinquentme | lolol | 20:08 |
| delinquentme | so 1.3 m earths would fit inside the sun... | 20:09 |
| delinquentme | so yeah that flame is like | 20:09 |
| delinquentme | plasma ? | 20:09 |
| superkuh | That comment thread is painful. | 20:09 |
| delinquentme | substantially larger that this planet | 20:09 |
| superkuh | The earth would be the size of one of the small bright dots on the photosphere. Probably 20 could fit across the circumference of that loop. | 20:10 |
| superkuh | Er diameter. | 20:11 |
| superkuh | Not circumference. | 20:11 |
| superkuh | Anyway, the image itself is in 30.4nm light from helium ions in the plasma. | 20:12 |
| joshcryer | I recall a really convoluted video presentation about the magnetic field lines in the core of the sun. | 20:16 |
| joshcryer | Since apparently the surface moves at rates that are counterintuitive or something. | 20:16 |
| joshcryer | Been awhile since I saw it. | 20:16 |
| joshcryer | Some NOVA doco on the sun. | 20:16 |
| joshcryer | Those big outbursts are caused by magnetic loops and twists that "snap." | 20:16 |

| nmz787 | sooo, downconvert the ultra UV to vis and have some kinda pinhole camera focused on your wall during the day... tracking the sun | 20:19 |
| superkuh | No. The atmosphere absorbs it. | 20:19 |
| nmz787 | seeing the surface of the sun for a wall would be pretty cool | 20:19 |
| nmz787 | oh | 20:20 |
| nmz787 | lame | 20:20 |
| * nmz787 goes to get some CFCs | 20:20 | |
| superkuh | For earth bound observations of the photosphere the hydrogen alpha line is best. Or if you care about photospheric magnetic fields then the iron I infrared line at ~1564 nm. | 20:21 |

| kanzure | nmz787: i want to avoid pissing people off | 20:45 |
| brownies | any email longer than 3 sentences is guaranteed to piss someone off | 20:46 |
| nmz787 | add cathal to thx list | 20:46 |
| kanzure | nmz787: cathal didn't edit it | 20:47 |
| kanzure | ever.. | 20:47 |
| kanzure | brownies: well, it's a complicated history going on here | 20:47 |
| kanzure | brownies: i wrote this retarded and embarrassing diybio faq on heybryan.org/mediawiki | 20:47 |
| kanzure | brownies: then mac copied it to openwetware.org | 20:48 |
| kanzure | and it's been there for a few years, where jonathan cline has been updating it with me | 20:48 |
| kanzure | so, in theory, there's no problem with me moving it off of openwetware | 20:48 |
| kanzure | (there are some issues with openwetware like: you have to register and wait for approval to edit) | 20:48 |
| kanzure | brownies: so there will possibly be some people angry with the fact that i have forked it | 20:49 |
| brownies | i was objecting generally to the wall of text, but, yes, now i see there are several other things that will also probably piss someone off | 20:49 |
| kanzure | it's sorta stupid; jonathan is the only person who has edited it more than i have | 20:50 |
| kanzure | and jonathan probably doesn't give a fuck | 20:51 |
| nmz787 | remove this "with the exception of Nathan McCorkle's diybioforums.org version" | 20:52 |
| kanzure | bah | 20:52 |
| kanzure | fine | 20:52 |
| kanzure | i am pretty sure there are some edits there that i am forgetting :) | 20:52 |
| nmz787 | its pretty tl;dr | 20:52 |
| kanzure | well the only thing people should care about is the first link | 20:53 |
| nmz787 | tho i did read it | 20:53 |
| nmz787 | "There has also been a trickle of other contributors to the FAQ including:" | 20:54 |
| nmz787 | you're saying Cathal didn't ever help with FAQ stuff | 20:54 |
| kanzure | you can track that by typing: git log --follow diybio/faq.mdwn | 20:54 |
| kanzure | yes | 20:54 |
| nmz787 | what about the new stuff | 20:54 |

| nmz787 | pinyshell? | 21:36 |
| nmz787 | ==bash? | 21:36 |
| jrayhawk | yes. it is bash with set +r. you should probably man rbash to learn what's going on. | 21:37 |
| kanzure | nmz787: pinyshell is the default shell on diyhpl.us for users that register from the wiki | 21:39 |
