Lina from Tekla labs has reached out and would love to have some entries for the DIY lab equipment contest from CCL and Sudo Room. If you're interested please sign up :)

"Tekla Labs is about to launch a DIY Lab equipment contest, hosted by the maker site Instructables. We'll go live this August (ie any day, as soon as the final t's are crossed). There'll be a Lab Equipment category, as well as a Lab Hacks option for quick and clever hardware solutions in the lab. We'd love to get some help getting word out about the competition and maybe see some Bay Area folks (and beyond) applying for the $5000 in prizes. 

Even more immediately though, you and your DIY network could really help us out by simply helping us create some site activity by joining our member network (which only takes a minute! I promise! And there's no spam) http://www.teklalabs.org/members/

Of course, it'd be awesome if you or others submit designs (more soon) or get involved in the competition itself in some other capacity, but this quick 1 minute favor would really help our group of fellow science enthusiasts! Please help spread the word! Thanks, 
Lina"
