Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

I have six weeks left before I lose access to the commercial biotech equipment that's readily available to me. I've been meaning to put together some information on open-source bio-hacking for a while now, and this seems like as good a time as any.

Who wants to help me build an electroporation unit?

(yes, this is for that project. more specific details are available; serious inquiries only, please.)

Things I have already learned on this trip

• You know you're travelling too much when the TSA guys recognise you.
• It is possible to get through airport security with an iPod nano in one's pocket.
