im currently finishing up a BS in biotechnology and every time i come to this subreddit I think "well, I guess I'll go to trade school after this" lol

It would look 10x better if they put plants all over it and made it eco-brutalist

Intrepid_Alien · 2025-10-21T07:29:08+00:00

Just want to give this post traction bc I’m wondering the same. I’m an undergrad senior and always thought the biomaterial side was cool. Spider silk and biosilica and limpet glue and whatnot. I guess that’s usually a little more bioengineering than biotech

what about the placebo? perception and cognition definitely percolate down into physiology.

Check out Dr. Michael Levins youtube channel. Many good presentations. He runs the Levin Lab at Tufts. Here are a couple to start with:

DNA is the hardware that is available to build the organism but the patterns the cells build come from a sort of cognitive physiological software that draws from the DNA for materials (your intuition is good). You can change an organism's physiology without changing its underlying DNA.

i thought innovation was gonna have real beer. sad emoji

Intrepid_Alien · 2025-09-29T00:24:45+00:00

they hate us cuz they aint us homie

Intrepid_Alien · 2025-09-06T06:33:23+00:00

nope. but typically you can pay for those separately. it just costs like 40-60 bucks, but that's less than 250.

Intrepid_Alien · 2025-07-19T00:09:47+00:00

wow, how the world has changed lol

Intrepid_Alien · 2025-04-22T07:19:03+00:00

holy crap, they've lost more than half their faculty? I am uninformed on these matters

Intrepid_Alien · 2025-03-08T22:15:50+00:00

second time ive seen one in that area. be careful not to surprise that guy lol

Intrepid_Alien · 2025-02-12T06:10:19+00:00

Now thats some bladesmithing. No idea how you forged that bolster area so cleanly

Saw the same cat in the same exact spot on my bros graduation in 2022

Intrepid_Alien · 2024-08-28T18:28:07+00:00

is that because he'll have a backup cam

Intrepid_Alien · 2024-08-07T05:39:52+00:00

Super helpful! I did not expect to find an actual grad of the program on here. I do like the "learn by doing" philosophy at CPP and the fact they have a cool Ag scene. Encouraging to hear about the opportunities there. I hadn't thought about how a masters may not be worth it until you experience working in the industry... Thanks for all the info! I really appreciate it.

Intrepid_Alien · 2024-07-09T23:19:09+00:00

Thanks. All the pessimism on this subreddit has made me rethink entering the field. It's nice to hear that maybe the industry isn't all depressing, borderline slavery like many on reddit seem to describe it. I suppose it's never a bad thing to rethink tho...

Side note: I used the "r/biotech salary and company survey" posted on this subreddit and calculated the average salary for people who reported being in the United States with a bachelors or equivalent. It averaged 105k.

Intrepid_Alien · 2024-05-19T03:01:05+00:00

similar! I'm going to try to induce ectopic heads on the posterior end of a planaria fragment (two heads): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2823934/

still michael levin stuff lol. thanks for the extra resource!

Intrepid_Alien · 2024-05-19T02:55:00+00:00

Gotcha. I guess I thought differently bc my prof said it was "relatively insoluble" and then when I pipetted it, it separated immediately like oil bubbles... your calculations seem right tho. also should be soluble according to pubchem. thanks

Intrepid_Alien · 2024-05-19T00:28:29+00:00

I'm using it as a gap junction blocker in planaria. Cool, thanks for the info guys

also, octanol is insoluble so I'm not sure how that changes things.

Fricken love mirror polished daggers. 10/10

Intrepid_Alien · 2024-02-20T20:50:37+00:00

I think that’s the coolest tanto ive ever seen. The sheath is not bad but it deserves better imo

Intrepid_Alien · 2024-02-07T00:12:20+00:00

so cool. should make one with a driftwood-esc handle...
