GMU:DIY Bio: doing things with biology/Niloofar Ghanavati

Documentation from experiments made in the Bio class in order to learn how to cultivate and known the rules and process of work inside the Bio-laboratory.

The blog is divided into two chapters of Documentation and Project that show the different knowledge and experiments that were developed during the course.

Concept

This section is devoted to those non-scientists (or fledgling scientists) who are interested in simple methods for culturing Physarum. Some of the documentation included here is not easily referenced, having come from websites that are no longer available, or having been obtained via web-surfing (e.g. Google) that yielded material in one search but not another. Wherever possible I have included, in the document, the URL from which it was obtained and/or an acknowledgment of the source. I apologize for any inadvertent infringement on copyright or "intellectual property" but ask forgiveness since the sole purpose of this section is to encourage the non-expert - especially young students - to give it a try and HAVE SOME FUN.

Final Result of Second Test of my Projekt. My inspiration is a series of photographs based on experiments to grow a makro-species of slime mold inside glass flasks of 100-1000 ml of Theresa's Schubert [4]. For further information you can click here [5] [6]
