#amateurscience — Public Fediverse posts

I'll be in LA next week, from 18th to 22nd. If anyone in the area wants to chat about #diybio #amateurscience #independentresearch please feel free to drop a note!

Registration and booking done for #ASMicrobe2025 woot!

I'll be presenting a poster on methylation patterns of an Archaeal genus members with focus on their MGE & rrn operons. It's something I've been tinkering with at the warehouse lab in Queens, hopefully building up to something interesting

If anyone wants to talk shop on archaea, evolutionary microbiology, long-read sequencing and etc, drop me a note whenever!

One of my current questions is:

"How does a bee, heavily laden with pollen, change her technique?"

I want to learn about a bee's decision-making by observing her, at her speed of thought, as she comes in for a landing.

I've taken some footage already but I want to see her face and antennae from the front as she maneuvers in that critical moment.
