Hi all

After running some tests, I found out that the reason a lot of my bio work wasn't working was either because my antibiotic solution I've been using is degraded, or the stranger but very possible option that the ecoli I have is resistant to ampicillin even though they shouldn't be. POINT IS, both the videos I had planned for this and next week rely on having ecoli that aren't resistant. So while I rerun the tests and order new supplies I decided that this week we'll talk about some of the experiments i've been tinkering with (including the previously mentioned 2) that will soon get their own videos, as well as some projects which we'll be starting soon.

 Amongst that I want to take a moment to answer some viewer questions, so if there's anything you've wanted to ask now's your chance. I'm asking all of you first, and will post a call for questions elsewhere probably tomorrow. Only gonna have time for 2-3 so make it a good one!

I'm a big fan of the radio telescope videos - any chance of getting an update on these after the current biology series?

I'll answer this here, but will mention it in the video as well. The reason there has been no radio stuff is because of Canadian winter. Once it warms up we'll be back at it. Already have lots planned and in the works. May even start soon on some of them. The short list is radar/SAR, passive radar, and an attempt at seeing through walls. Also hopefully more satellite stuff

I’m interested in making biological ceramics bricks for construction. BioMASON used bacteria to fuse sand. I’m thinking about engineered protein collagen and mineralizing it with calcium and phosphate. What are your thoughts?
