@aebrockwell Those are some great points! I like the idea of the scanned data being a backup life.

As long as the scanned data can be stored and is stable, It could be an alternative to cryopreservation. You just get scanned and reassembled 50 years later.

@lucifargundam That's a bummer 😂

A possible way to do teleportation is to scan, disassemble, then assembling the atoms of a object in the same order as the scanned object.
Would that mean we could just duplicate the thing by assembling it over and over, without rescanning? I am thinking you could just print endless food or just print anything that’s been scanned before. 🤷

Felt like a real-life #Scientist today; I made a “cloud”

I have been working on protein purification. When clearing my lysate, the cleared lysate was under a layer of what I think is DNA. Does anyone have any suggestions on separating the DNA interfacing layer away from the cleared lysate?

I pipetted off the white layer off and saved it, but between the two tubes the layer was about 4 mL. Which seems like a lot of volume, and I don't want to lose the protein in that 4 mL.

This week, my lab recently published, and its my first co-authorship on a paper! 🎉

Our lab developed a high-throughput plasmid-based recombination assay, SARP-seq, to investigate RAG1/2's recombination of thousands of different DNA motifs.

The RAG1/2 recombinase facilitates the diverse antigen binding repertoire for the adaptive immune system, but can also aberrantly cause genomic instability.

@jadebees I have seen lots of people during winter harvest the pupae from the tubes, wash them off, and overwinter them. Does this encourage an increased survivability?

@trinsec @jamesadams I was really hoping for 65537 characters 😭

@scottbarolo oh my apologies, I wasn't familiar with the term.

Hey I am on my phone and couldn't find a place to add a comment. But OUHSC has the the GPiBS program. An umbrella programs covering like 7 departments. They offer six 6-week rotations

@borak_faith it isn't the fastest way to get fruit but what fun it is to watch. Your orange babies look so nice!

@alexkwan a few weeks ago I heard a researcher on NPR talk about their studies of the mechanism of psilocybin. If I remember correctly, they said it seems to make the brain more plastic or something, and were using it as treatment for depression and ptsd.

But it made me wonder. Their are neuropsychological disorders which are described as when the brain utilizes an incorrect pathway to do a task, Like my functional movement disorder. Many clinics I went to a core in their treatment was reteaching your body/brain normal movements and the correct pathways to use. (lots of Occupational and physical therapy)

Since listening to that npr episode, I have been curious if treatment with psychoactive substances could potentially aid in the reshaping of those incorrectly used brain pathways.

@HemeOnc @War_Kittens how? It gave me a headache yesterday. I had barely any time to find three words in a post. If I was interested I ctrl + F the words I remembered from the post. 😂

@mainzebra maybe.

My #introduction is that I'm a 3rd year graduate student in #biochemistry and #molecularbiology .
I study the RAG1/2 recombinase and its binding motif, which facilitates V(D)J recombination. I am actively trying to improve my knowledge and use of #programing #datascience and #machinelearning . Though I am fairly new to programing in general.

I have Functional Movement Disorder, which causes me to have episodes of shaking and various other symptoms.

I enjoy growing #plants and spending time in my #greenhouse and in the outdoors. I grow succulents, cactus, tropicals, and orchids.
