archelskanzure: 'gaia'? 'nature'? What a crock.12:02
@kanzureheh :)12:04
@kanzurehe's a old man, give him some slack12:04
archelsdreaming is okay, but don't try to sell it as science12:07
rkosi think it would be best to try to figure out life on this planet before starting to speculate about life on other planets12:13
rkosif you want alien technology just look at your hand, how much do you really understand about what goes on in there?12:13
archelsFinding out about the existence of life elsewhere in the universe is pretty orthogonal to understanding life here on Earth.12:14
archelsIt's almost as if you're saying that we should only do low-risk, low-returns research.12:14
rkoswell no, but it is pretty hard to get any kind of handle on thinking about aliens12:15
rkosseems just so far out of reach to me12:16
rkoslike if life evolves somewhere else is it even going to lead to anything remotely comparable to us12:17
archelsSETI *might*'ve come up with something, if luck would have had it12:17
rkoswhat is life anyways, what is there to look for out there?12:17
archelsOf course now we're being a bit overenthousiastic in identifying exoplanets...12:17
archelslet's not get too philosophical :)12:18
Mokstarwhatever drives the technology is fine by me12:18
rkosyeah, i've just been reading schrödingers essays "what is life?" recently12:19
archelsah, cool12:19
Mokstarif they wanna build a quantum computer to figure out tomorrow's sport's scores, that's just peachy IMO12:19
Mokstarjust so long as they don't hog it :p12:19
rkosthe public has been losing its interest in space lately though12:23
rkosit's all about virtual space and inner space these days...12:24
archelsapparently not, what with Gingrich's big plans12:24
rkosis that the moon base plan?12:25
rkosthat sounded nice12:25
archelsyeh12:25
archelsunrealistic, but it shows the idea is alive and well12:25
rkoswell its probably best to be always aiming a bit high12:26
archelshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouRbkBAOGEw12:29
Stee|gingrich is driving on american jingoism unfortunately12:29
Stee|granted, many would call me a jingoist12:30

@kanzurewhat is it?13:20
@kanzurelinks that aren't self-explanatory require an explanation, rkos :/13:21
rkosit just discusses the possibilities of synthetic biology13:27
rkosnot that extensively though13:28
rkosbut its where im putting my money, or my life since im a poor student with no money13:29
uniqanomaly__"Gingrich vows to ban embryonic stem-cell research, questions in vitro practices" seriously, people with opinions like that should be prohibited from using any tech being derivative of research like this13:30
rkosthe possibility of using designed organisms to efficiently produce chemicals13:30
uniqanomaly__by law ;>13:30
@kanzurehm, i'm more popular than aubrey on google+13:31
uniqanomaly__that would be one badass law13:31
rkosthough my pie in the sky dream about is that our bodies are produced by cells very energy effiecently, so if you just were good enough at controlling cells you could produce anything rivaling the most complex animal bodies, not just industrial chemicals/pharmaceuticals13:31
Stee|bah, biology :P13:34
@kanzurehttp://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp/library/publicaccess13:36
@kanzurei'm reading responses to OSTP13:37
@kanzureabout open access policies13:37
@kanzurehttp://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/Scholarly%20Pubs%20Comments%201-100.pdf13:37
@kanzurejust random emails that people sent in. some of these are essays?13:37
@kanzurehuh the freepatentsonline person wrote in with something13:39
rkoswhats the argument against open access?13:40
@kanzurehrm there's also an email from paul fernhout13:41
@kanzurehah. hi paul..13:41
@kanzurerkos: look for "http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/Scholarly%20Pubs%20Comments%201-100.pdf"13:42
@kanzurethat one is against open access, i think13:42
@kanzureoops13:42
@kanzure"onomic climate, the income generated from copyrighted publications cannot be overstated"13:43
@kanzurethe one with that line^13:43
@kanzureor the one that says "threatened by access policies that do not take these costs into account, and it is critically important tha"13:44
Stee|Ugh13:48
Stee|if it's funded by taxpayers, it should be open access13:48
Stee|barring certain classified publications13:48
@kanzure"but it will disrupt the science industry's stability in the US and cause us to lose our competitive advantage as a nation!"13:49
@kanzurethat seems to be the argument that anti-open-access people sent in.13:49
Stee|it will increase our competitive advantage13:49
Stee|which is why we should do it13:49
@kanzureduh..13:50
rkospublishing companies are clearly the thing that makes the US economy run...13:53
@kanzureclearly13:55
@kanzure"without these publishing companies, our scientific excellence will be compromised!"13:55
@kanzurethose must be some amazing editors huh13:55
Stee|you mean volunteer peer reviewers?14:00
Stee|yes, I know there are editors as well14:00

jmilpretty good. you?16:25
ChillyVanillyyo16:25
@kanzurejust fine, did you get stuff published yet16:25
@kanzurepeople in here have been asking about your cell printing head16:25
@kanzurejmil: any updates16:50
jmilah, no i'm not printing cells directly16:51
jmilbut it could work with that16:51
jmilbut i don't think that's feasible at all16:51
@kanzurei thought you had some sort of extruder16:51
jmilya i'm printing a special kind of material to make perfusable tissues16:51
jmilwith a patterned vasculature16:51
jmilthat resembles blood vessel networks16:52
@kanzureStee|: was it you who was asking about this16:52
jmilbut it's not direct cell printing16:52
jmilprimary cells will not survive cell printing16:52
jmilprimary cells like hepatocytes (liver) and beta cells (pancreas)16:52
jmilthey won't survive16:52
jmiland neural cells16:52
jmilshear stresses are too high16:52
jmilso i have a different approach16:53
@kanzurehrm is the paper out yet16:53
jmilwhere those cells can be formed into perfusable tissues16:53
jmilno not out yet16:53
jmilhopefully this year!16:53
jmilwe are resubmitting in february16:53
jmilgot more data16:53

@kanzureyikes what was the rejection reason16:53
@kanzurehey nmz78716:53
nmz787hi kanzure16:54
jmilkanzure: a cell printing guy didn't like it lol16:54
jmilbut he's a moron16:54
jmiland we are rebutting16:54
jmiland anyway peer review takes time16:54
@kanzurenmz787: jmil is talking about his reprap extruder for printing a vasculature16:54
nmz787oh, sweet!16:54
nmz787piezo or heat dispensed (i can't remmeber the term, but its when you heat the chamber behind the nozzle to increase pressure to force the ink out)16:55
jmilcell printing has been around for a decade or more. they still don't print primary cells or give us organs16:55
nmz787'ink'16:55
jmilnmz787: i'm using heated syringe and air pressure.16:55
jmilno cells16:55
nmz787so you're printing a structure then seeding it?16:56
jmilsomething like that16:56
jmilbut the vasculature is multiscale and cylindrical just like human organs16:57
@kanzureis this a 3d vasculature16:57
jmilyes16:57
@kanzurehrm16:57
nmz787have non-cylindrical vasculatures been tried ?16:57
jmilsure16:57
nmz787oo16:57
jmillots of stuff has been tried16:57
nmz787why?16:57
@kanzureoh is it just a plastic infused with protein16:58
@kanzureand you just print a 3d mesh blob16:58
@kanzureno, nevermind.16:58
jmilwhy what?16:58
nmz787isn't the whole volume to surface area thing of spheres a gradeschool idea?16:58
jmili dunno what you're asking nmz78716:58
nmz787why would anyone try printing a pipe that isn't cylindrical16:59
jmiloh16:59
jmilbecause they couldn't figure out how to print cylinders16:59
jmil:D16:59
nmz787lol16:59
nmz787ok16:59
nmz787fair enough16:59
Stee|nmz: The project I'm working on might be able to print complex organs in 15 years16:59
jmilcell printers and layer-by-layer are the two technologies that are out there16:59
jmilthey deposit everything that is NOT the vasculature16:59
jmilso it builds up layer by layer and the manufacturing does not scale17:00
jmilStee|: reprap based?17:00
Stee|no17:00
Stee|electrohydrodynamic jet printing17:00
jmilmy method is a new third option17:00

jmilthat's a lot of shear stresses. i've seen a couple papers about that kind of stuff17:01
jmilwhat are you doing with it right now?17:01
Stee|trying to build an ejection to final shape model17:02
Stee|that will allow us to closed loop control based off monitoring current17:02

jmilnice!17:02
jmilStee|: how come droplet based instead of photolithography if resolution is what you're after?17:03
nmz787so seems like the challenge with printing the vasculature is A) finding the right material that takes over as the ECM, and doesn't block cell:cell interactions, limit perfusion (i.e. plastic would probably) B) modelling the required vasculature for an organ (this maybe could be ripped from microtome data of the organ of interest)17:03
nmz787then resolution17:03
nmz787of the printer17:03
Stee|jmil: we can do more materials17:04
jmilnmz787: yes that's very close to it17:04

jmilbut proof of concept is done17:05
Stee|how much funding?17:05

nmz787Stee|: the last internship i has was writing bioinformatics code... before that it was writing and debugging code related to embedded Texas Instruments DSP chips for a biomedical device (also worked with MATLAB, and GUI development in python and C#)... before that I was writing working on particle tracking software for a leukocyte/neutrophil cell adhesion/rolling modelling project17:29

Stee|Raytheon, for example17:35

nmz787a friend recently was thinking that out war-like nature is allowing us to kill off 'prune' inefficient societies, and that the more efficient societies are such because of technology17:43
kanzureuhrm.17:43
kanzurelet's get back to work :P17:43
nmz787said friend also was talking about how pooled wealth (i.e. the 1%) is actually good for society because we can then pursue more and more complex technology, which allows us to outcompete other societies, thus pushing the species forward as a whole17:44
Stee|I'm waiting for my burrito17:44

kanzureyashgaroth: see backlog17:51
yashgarothI've been reading, you mean vasculature printing I assume?17:52
kanzuresounds like it, jmil is still around i think17:53
jrayhawkspecifically, incurring dozens of failed (uncached) path lookups and potentially reconfiguring apache on *every request* is highly undesirable17:53
jrayhawkas is the confusion it causes me when configuration is not in a config directory17:53
yashgarothjmil: so are you just printing the ECM and then seeding cells?17:55
jmilno, not exactly17:55
jmilprinting the vasculature, then seeding the cells and ECM together17:55
jmilaround the vasculature17:55
yashgarothahhh okay17:55
kanzurehm there's a #homecmos17:56
jmilone-step tissue fabrication from the cells' perspective. the cells never see multiple fabrication steps17:56
yashgarothdid you have an model organ in mind?17:56
kanzurehttp://en.qi-hardware.com/homecmos-logs/17:56
jmilyashgaroth: all of them… :D17:58
jmilmostly liver, pancreas, heart17:58
jmilliver is what we're working on most right now17:58
yashgarothyeah that seems like the easiest complex organ17:58
jmilif i get a job eventually i want to get to neurons. neurons won't survive cell printing. but they will survive my method17:59
jmilyashgaroth: any others we should look at? lung? kidney?17:59
yashgarothskin would be good I'd think17:59
yashgarothas a 'starter' organ anyway18:00
jmilah skin's been done a long time ago18:00
yashgarothtrue, but not like this18:00
jmilwe're only looking at solid organs18:00
jmilthat can't be done in other ways18:00
yashgarothhmmm18:00
yashgarothbone?18:00
yashgarothprobably without the marrow18:01
jmilbone would be a really good one. but we don't have materials stiff enough to make rigid bone yet still liquidy enough to enfuse around the vasculature during casting18:01
jmilcould be cool though18:01
yashgarothpretty much just leaves intestines then18:02
jmilintestines are not as needed because humans have more than they really need with todays food supply18:02
jmilso we are doing solid organs18:02
yashgarothshitting in a bag must suck, but I get your point18:03
jmilplus intestines could be made with the same technology anthony atala is using for urinary bladder regeneration18:03
jmiloh colostomies are not because of lack of intestine… it's because of lack of muscle regeneration therapies18:03
jmilmuscle is what we are also doing18:03
kanzureyeah i see lots of mesh+intestine stuff18:04
jmil(sub from cardiac)18:04
yashgarothhe's not the guy using decellularized animal organs is he?18:04
yashgarothmuscle seems hard though18:04
jmilhe's the guy doing everything18:04
jmilyashgaroth: that's why we're going to approach it18:04
jmilgetting aligned muscle fibers is hard18:04
jmilbut getting high cell density around perfusable channels in 3d is now easy18:04
kanzureyashgaroth: i've had trouble figuring out the actual mechanism of hypergrowth in muscles18:04
jmilso i figure i can iterate until i get there18:04
jmilkanzure: hypergrowth?18:05
kanzurei mean,18:05
yashgarothyou mean myostatin activin follistatin 'roids etc?18:05
kanzureum, what's the right term18:05
kanzureyashgaroth: not quite18:05
yashgarothhypertrophy/plasia are the technical terms18:05
kanzureyashgaroth: i mean exercise18:05
kanzurehypertrophy, thanks18:05

yashgarothto punch myself in the abs until I get abs? sounds good18:06
yashgarothI'd prefer gene transfer of follistatin fused to an Fc18:07
nmz787or, if dexedrine stimulates the heart rate to increase, is that the same as cardio?18:08
kanzurei'm satisfied with the modern explanation of muscle contraction (myosin/actin and such)18:08

yashgarothwe don't necessarily need other methods, the current ones would work well18:10
yashgarothand if they don't work, there's an easy way to find out18:10

yashgarothdon't worry, muscle doesn't get cancer :V18:13
jmilthat's another reason i'm going to study it18:13
jmilyashgaroth: they are looking for the circulating factor18:14
jmilthey recently did a old/young experiment and proved circulating factors restore the regenerative potential of muscle18:14

kanzurepokemoning20:20
bkerodefinitely crack20:22
bkeroI'm at dorkbotpdx 0x08 meeting, talking about using a bus pirate to hax i2c20:22
* Mokbortolan_ uses exogenous anandamide! It's super effective!20:27
kanzureMokbortolan_: i'm still working on the disassembly20:27

gene_hackerkanzure didn't you have a page on make transistors at one point?20:31
kanzureyes.. uh let me find it20:32
kanzuregene_hacker: http://heybryan.org/alternate_transistors.html20:32
gene_hackertrying to find a way to make transistors for a self-replicating lunar factory20:32
gene_hackerthat nanocrystal method sounded nice, but it requires liquid...20:33
gene_hackerkanzure got any methods to make transistors easily in UHV?20:36
Mokbortolan_electrodeposition!20:38
Mokbortolan_you could probably condense a gas onto a substrate20:39
gene_hackercan't do electrodeposition20:39
gene_hackerI'm on the moon and water is expensive20:40
Mokbortolan_you couldn't make an ion gun out of something?20:40
Mokbortolan_well, it's expensive but not impossible20:40
gene_hackerthat's what I'm thinking20:40
Mokbortolan_there's water in regolith anyway20:40
gene_hackernot that much20:40
kanzuremaybe an ion beam method20:41
kanzurefib?20:41
Mokbortolan_I like one possible source for that water20:41
gene_hackerthe problem I'm having is making the silicon in general20:41
gene_hackerapparently you need graphite crucibles for the CZ process20:41
kanzuredidn't freitas come up with a method20:41
Mokbortolan_hydrogen ions slamming into the oxygen-rich regolith20:41
kanzurecz pulling can be difficult, i've heard20:41
gene_hackerFIB might work20:41
gene_hackeryeah20:41
Mokbortolan_yeah20:41
Mokbortolan_you can just say you did it20:42
Mokbortolan_but not really20:42
gene_hackerwell CZ process would be pretty handy20:42
gene_hackerespecially if you could carry out the CZ process on illmenite20:43
gene_hackera common lunar mineral which is a semiconductor20:43
