Your presents will cause quite the reaction when you use biology and chemistry to create the perfect gift tags. 🧪🎨 The BioTinkering Lab is back for the holidays!
The BioTinkering Lab was full of beautiful, biodegradable color today! Thank you to everyone who was part of our Holiday Cabbage Inks activity, see you tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. for more!
Let it snow... snowflakes made from natural pigments?! ❄️ Throwback to BioInks, where we extracted pH-sensitive pigment from bacteria to make ink 🧫🎨! You too can create your own natural paints at home with our Cabbage Inks activity!

Let’s celebrate culture, both microbial and social! 🦠As a @mirzayanfellow, I led a community art project with the Board on Life Sciences at @theNASEM. We grew #KombuchaLeather in the office 🧫 to make microbial portraits! Blog: bit.ly/3FutvCd
Mushrooms. It’s what’s for dinner… table. On #NationalMushroomDay 🍄, peep our custom BioTinkering Lab tables made with the Reishi mushroom agricultural waste some help from our friends at @MycoWorksInc ! Sustainable science at its finest.

Yay my first SCOBY/bacterial nanocellulose/kombucha leather! thank you @biophilebytes for the encouragement and tips, the and thanks to #giybiobuddies 's great video as well
Sharing again but with higher voltage—rehydrated algae string is conducive!! Last image is before it was soaked over night and tested w/ a 9v battery. How might we program biomaterial circuitry into woven garments that trigger circuits when wet? @TheTechInteract@biophilebytes
🦠🔬Microbe Mandalas! —Check out these tiny #diatom arrangements by Klaus Kemp. —"Diatoms are tiny single-cell algae encased in jewel-like shells that are among the smallest organisms on Earth..." ~100K living species! bit.ly/2zqPHAu#MicroMonday#MicrobeMonday🔬đź¦
Excited for Da Vinci-in-a-Box w/ @AIS_Eagles in March. I’ll be teaching craft activities with algae string. We’ll use weaving cards and also learn Japanese knot cording. Registration ends Feb 8th. A pleasure to work again w/ @atlantaSTEAM@peluchiflores#biomaking#biotinkering
