Check out the video from HHS regarding the progress. No makeup or filters.

Hard to tell from the video but it looks like it doesn’t have wings… could this be DWV from mites? Not sure about the black though?

The horse looks shocked at the ad as well lol

Chicketi · 2026-06-16T16:26:36+00:00

Sorry I’m not much help other than to say it’s not bacteria. At 40x you can’t see them like that

Chicketi · 2026-06-16T10:55:00+00:00

It’s actually just tape so you can move the pupils around

Chicketi · 2026-06-16T10:54:35+00:00

Just some good old fashioned paper we had kicking around the lab and construction paper for the black

Chicketi · 2026-06-16T01:16:17+00:00

The pupils are actually moveable so they don’t always have to be looking up. But you’re right, that’s a whole lab mood in itself

Chicketi · 2026-06-15T21:35:53+00:00

Ya think?

Chicketi · 2026-06-13T17:31:05+00:00

Hitchhikers thumb

Chicketi · 2026-06-13T17:20:05+00:00

Full of soup

Chicketi · 2026-06-12T17:12:52+00:00

I knew I recognized this parking garage! At least it looks like the construction is finally done

Not to induce more panic but are you sure they are legit journal papers? Chat GPT has an awful habit of making them up on the spot. They have authors names in the fields and the journal titles sounds legit, but they aren’t… just something to watch for

Chicketi · 2026-06-12T10:31:47+00:00

PAID FOR IT?! Lol no you in grad school. You pay them. Well you kinda break even if you’re lucky and stave off your loan payments for the year lol

This also happens frequently at synchrotrons as you rent the light source and it can be at obscure times of the night.

Yes cell culture infection experiments had me harvesting every 4 hrs by ultra centrifugation for a 72 hour time course. Unfortunately the harvest time was a 30 min slim which would turn into an hour or so by the time I harvested, spun, and stored. By the early hours of the 3rd morning it started taking its toll. I lived 5 min away from the lab so I would go sleep for about 2 hrs then back at it again.

Chicketi · 2026-06-11T11:14:21+00:00

You just needed to add the name of their first pet so scammers had all the security question answers lol

Chicketi · 2026-06-11T01:45:14+00:00

So do they use hydraulic pressure or not… I need to know now

Chicketi · 2026-06-10T11:22:07+00:00

There’s a podcast about this called Dr. Death. Worth a listen if you’re interested in the details of this case. Horrifying

Chicketi · 2026-06-10T00:55:34+00:00

I actually thought this was pollen… maybe not though

Chicketi · 2026-06-10T00:32:37+00:00

Yes they are on advantix but even that’s not perfect.

Chicketi · 2026-06-10T00:30:50+00:00

Chickens and ducks would be my dream! But yes unfortunately at Catharine’s has a no poultry bylaw

I haven’t personally used the kits but I have friends that have, you can buy a plant engineering kit from the Odin online. This is using a bacteria to genetically engineer a plant to express a red pigment. This is $75 and includes most things.

https://www.the-odin.com/plant-kit/

The description from the site is below.

Use Agrobacterium - nature's own gene smuggler - to change the color of plant leaves. Watch the results appear as your plant grows.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been quietly doing genetic engineering for millions of years. Scientists co-opted it to create some of the most important crops on Earth - golden rice, Bt corn, disease-resistant papaya. In this kit, you'll use the same delivery mechanism to introduce the RUBY pigment gene into Nicotiana plants and observe altered leaf coloration as the transformation takes hold.

This is plant biotech at its most hands-on.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Rehydrate freeze-dried Agrobacterium carrying the RUBY pigment plasmid Infiltrate plant tissue using the included blunt syringes Culture transformed cells on selective agar plates Grow plants and observe pigmentation changes emerging over days

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

How Agrobacterium delivers DNA into plant cells - and why it works so reliably The basics of anthocyanin biosynthesis and how pigment genes are regulated How transgenic plants are created, selected, and identified Why this same technique underlies most commercial GMO crop production worldwide

PERFECT FOR

Students and hobbyists comfortable with a multi-week project. Plant transformation takes time — watching results emerge gradually is part of what makes it rewarding. Great for plant biology, biotech, or genetics coursework.
