Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
W̵͈͛ḫ̶͗ą̵̔ṭ̸͌ ̴̩͝c̸̱̊l̶̬̄e̶̡̽a̸̙̚n̵̩͋ ̴̹̌W̷͈̃ả̴̯ẗ̶́ͅè̵͈r̶̲̆ ̵̝͐h̶̲̐ị̶̇ḏ̶͊e̷̼͆s̸̯̎ I would be interested in developing an environmental sensor (such as engineered bacteria) that detects hazardous contaminants like heavy metals (or possibly other pollutants) in water and responds by producing a strong, unpleasant smell. Many forms of modern pollution are dangerous but do not carry clear signs of danger with them. They are invisible, odorless, and difficult to !intuitively! recognize without specialized testing. This creates a disconnect between environmental harm and human perception, where water may appear clean while still being unsafe to consume.
Week 2 HW: DNA Read and Write and Edit
Part 0: Basics of Gel Electrophoresis ✅ Part 1: Benchling & In-silico Gel Art DNA Crawler Part 2: Gel Art - Restriction Digests and Gel Electrophoresis Not possible - sadly I don’t have access to a lab. :/
Part 1: Design some Art This is I think not my final art - i would like to change it for the final submission but i wanted to check out how to write python first and if i manage to implement it. https://opentrons-art.rcdonovan.com/?id=uauqdo374y5jjq1 Part 2: Writing the python code I am not experienced with writing a python code so i had to try around quite a bit but I think I managed - at least the simulation tool gave me some results! :D
