Re: [DIYbio] A Philosopher's Stone

Hey all!


Apologies if this is invasive-- I'm a 3rd year student studying biochemistry at The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. I have a strong interest in bionanotech, specifically the multifunctionality of GNPs, which is sort of a side project of mine.

I've read through this group and was REALLY impressed with you all and am a huge proponent of the DIYbio movement in general.

Would anyone be open to me asking a few questions that I have? If you're interested, please email me! I'd rather not clog up your productive group with my likely pedestrian questions.

I can be reached at this email (carly.larosa@gmail.com). My questions are mostly about your personal interests in GNP synthesis/applications, what you think is promising for future applications, and what strengths or attributes of GNPs make them an interesting candidate for DIY projects.

Best wishes!

A model is not devoted to an explication of why it works. But used to
try to find how you can try to explain it. By making a description
of a phenomenon, you try to mimic the characteristics of this
phenomenon. It's not meant to be true or false, but it needs to be able to be
falsifiable (proven that it's wrong or not accurate). And to be
falsifiable it means that you need to be able to reproduce it and
compare the whole set of results between the experiments…
