Open Source Desktop Biotech lab meeting tonight 6pm at Sudo room

by Ryan Bethencourt

Hi All, Just a quick reminder that we'll be having an informal meeting again tonight at 6pm at Sudo room to discuss the Open Source Desktop biotech lab and all are welcome. Tonight will be a short meeting as we'll primarily just be discussing the parts list for the Open Source PCR (all thoughts welcome, particularly if you can't attend). Agenda: - Intros - Updates (both the first Incubator and Centrifuge prototypes have been built and are at Sudo room, now we need to build the PCR and Gel box) - PCR - parts list for cheapest/decent build - Order - Ryan will order the parts for us to hopefully hack next week :) TGIF!

missing power drill

by hol＠gaskill.com

sorry to hit the list with this - I brought a yellow corded power drill during one of the move-in sundays and it is nowhere to be found. probably has "GASKILL" written on it in sharpie, figured someone just borrowed it which is okay as long as it comes back...maybe someone else who brought tools took it back with them? cheers, hol

daisy-chaining power supplies in the space

by rusty lindgren

Hello Fellow Sudo People, This is a good article about why we shouldn't daisy-chain things in the space. Any suggestions on a work-around is appreciated. I am offering to help hack this problem. http://www.compliance.gov/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fastfacts_daisychains.… -- Cheers, Rusty **

February's Awesome Foundation SF grants earmarked for kids' projects

by Rachel McConnell

Calling all teachers, parents, educators, teenagers, and kids! The Awesome Foundation grants $1000 to people with AWESOME projects every month. We want to remind everyone that for our February grant, we will sponsor only projects submitted by kids! Submissions can come from individuals or groups of people who are either under the age of 18 or in high school. We will also consider applications submitted by educators on behalf of a classroom-wide project. We want to encourage youth to dream up an awesome idea and experience the magic of bringing it to fruition. What kind of project? Well, the single most important guideline is that the project is totally awesome. But, we also tend to favor projects that spread awesomeness to a wide audience. We suggest that interested applicants take a look at our website and browse through past winning projects: http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/sf Of course, anyone may submit an application at any time, but February’s grant will only go to a kid’s project. Students should submit proposals through our website between February 1st and February 28th. http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/submissions/new Please spread the word to anyone you know who works with kids, or may just be interested! Rachel McConnell Microtrustee, San Francisco Chapter Awesome Foundation
