[DIYbio] Re: Counter Culture Labs Kickstarter: infected necklaces, biohacker labcoats & bacterial naming rights!



Note that we've made sure to include some perks that may be of interest to our DIYbio peers:

- $25 Hackerspace Passport: based on Mitch Altman's original design, but edited to include biohackerspace logos in the background on the "visa stamps" pages. Send me an email if you'd like to get your logo included! The Passports were originally intended to allow members of one hackerspace to use the facilities in other participating hackerspaces. That part never really happened, but instead people just started to use them to collect stamps from all the hackerspaces they've visited...



- $30 Eppendorf star earrings: Seriously, don't buy these from us - make your own! Just get 5 PCR tubes, link them together cap-to-tube in a 5-pointed star, poke a hole in one, and attach earring. Done! Something we came up with in one of our Bio+Art meetups. Simple but elegant. Here's Jun Axup wearing the original:


We had joked about making this an "in case of emergency, open vial to gain superpowers" kit. Fill each tube with DNA from a different species: one with spider DNA, one with Deinococcus radiodurans,...

- $60 Original Curd Nerd Jewelry: This is the same reward as we did for our Real Vegan Cheese campaign (and that we're about to ship out right after Maker Faire). a 1:500,000 scale 3D printed model of chymosin, the enzyme in rennet responsible for turning milk into cheese.

- $75 Infected Necklace! A real blood-red Serratia marcescens culture on a tiny Petri dish, embedded in clear resin. *Very* cool, if I say so myself! This is an idea I've been toying with for a while, and the prototypes came out really nice. Surprisingly light too, since it's mostly a chunk of plastic.

- $110 Biohacker labcoat: OK, so maybe you don't want to be wearing a labcoat with the Counter Culture Labs logo in your own biohackerspace. We get that. So here's one with the international biohacker logo:

- $300 Necklace with DNA message: Yes, it's been done before. But I've yet to see one where they bothered to include the flanking PCR primer sequences to actually be able to READ the message out again - doh!
