   Projects

   Ryan - A friend John has DIY Bio bio-tech lab equipment he is willing to share with other folks / startup companies.

   Perhaps there can be some sort of collaboration with Sudo Room.

   John is interested in maintaining control of the equipment, so it's likely they will use a "keyholder" system for public access--a key holder must be present.

   Marina - Art Murmur

   Tracy couldn't make it tonight

   Live clothes-hacking with conductive thread (you can run electricity through that shit).

   Bring your sewing machines!

   Email the list if you're interested / HYPED!

   Eddan is starting a Dynamic Association of Displayed Art

   This gets a klout score of "boom"

   Anthony - Insulin Pump and Bioreactor

   Great milestone for DIY Bio community -- most in-demand drug he knows of

   Can be made fairly easily based on initial speculations.

   Part of class of production methods that would generalize well to other proteins (very extensible)

   In a nut-shell - a physical device to purify insulin
