the-odin.com has super-cheap plasmids, antibiotics, and media. They're
open to appeals from poor students/beginners too. If you post your
experiments on social media, they also give you store credit.

Re: [DIYbio] Re: Modifying orientation?
Historically it has never worked for sexual orientation or gender identity, but I'll assume you were kidding. :)
Bear in mind that people on the receiving end of these "therapies" often end up with varying degrees of trauma or self-loathing, so it's rarely taken well, as a joke. I'm not one of them, but this large list probably has a lot of people who have been on the receiving end of a "pavlov way" attempt to change their orientation or gender identity.

I'll be blunt and say that to me this looks like a dead end, as far as a practical route. The research you linked was (going by the abstract at least) only examining one system, and cannot have gathered enough data on the other systems or the broader effects to rule out harm.
Even their own abstract ends with: "We suppose that the effect of microwaves is related to the stress reactions of the organism."
This might mean a mild and localised heat stress, or microwave-induced blood-brain-barrier leakage and consequent inflammation, or an increase in ROS and radical formation or misfolding due to enzyme damage. All are possible outcomes IMO from a blanket application of energising radiation.
I would be on the side of preferring social routes to solving addiction epidemics: basic income shows promise, better regulation of drug marketing and decriminalisation/medicalisation seem to be good policies, and there is research into older/newer pharmacological interventions pike psychedelic therapy.
But if a "medicalised silver bullet" is the goal then my money would be on small molecules in this case, as the medicine needs to cross the BBB and temporary antagonism of the right systems might be the simplest way to support behavioural therapies.
But then.. we've been there for years already and have few success stories so far.On 24 September 2019 01:51:36 GMT+01:00, jackson parks <jacksonpar...@gmail.com > wrote:I'll show what I'm referring to:

Re: [DIYbio] Re: Drug addiction biohacking
I'll be blunt and say that to me this looks like a dead end, as far as a practical route. The research you linked was (going by the abstract at least) only examining one system, and cannot have gathered enough data on the other systems or the broader effects to rule out harm.
Even their own abstract ends with: "We suppose that the effect of microwaves is related to the stress reactions of the organism."
This might mean a mild and localised heat stress, or microwave-induced blood-brain-barrier leakage and consequent inflammation, or an increase in ROS and radical formation or misfolding due to enzyme damage. All are possible outcomes IMO from a blanket application of energising radiation.
I would be on the side of preferring social routes to solving addiction epidemics: basic income shows promise, better regulation of drug marketing and decriminalisation/medicalisation seem to be good policies, and there is research into older/newer pharmacological interventions pike psychedelic therapy.
But if a "medicalised silver bullet" is the goal then my money would be on small molecules in this case, as the medicine needs to cross the BBB and temporary antagonism of the right systems might be the simplest way to support behavioural therapies.
But then.. we've been there for years already and have few success stories so far.
I'll show what I'm referring to:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8962884
