FINALLY IT IS HERE and available for pre-order! 🧪
The Routledge Companion to Performance and Science, with my chapter, Blood Magic in Biotech -- a case study (Ch 23).
In this chapter, I discuss my work with 16S rRNA sequencing of my vaginal microbiome over the duration of an entire menstrual cycle.

Thanks for your reply! Are the researchers promoting lab grown meat?

I’m a bioartist and tissue engineer, and wrote part of my thesis on the fallacy of lab grown meat. Would love to know more on your take.

Saving this for later.

Hahahaha, I really hope you’re wrong about that. 😂🫣

I certainly love to create pink creatures. ☺️

That’s what she said! 😉

Hahaha! Needle phobia?

This is my DIY bioprinter in my kitchen, finishing up my first successful bioprint (with this machine) of a clitoris form in a homemade gelatin alginate bioink. I’m pretty sure it’s a world’s first. Tell me this isn’t the sexiest DIYbio you’ve ever seen! 🧪

In the spirit of Mother’s Day, here’s a clip of Björk two-piecing a reporter who was stalking her and her baby.

Hmmm, I bet it would make an amazing manual component to add on with the controlled extruder!

I wonder if anyone’s tried yet. It seems like it might be more compact to work with?

I think we’ll get there. 😉

I’d like to see that! We need more creative absurdity that works.

Pneumatics would give this so many more possibilities!

Thank you! 😅 It has been painstaking.

Thanks ☺️

First, very rough print test with the bioprinter I built (hacked from a 3D printer) and which lives on my kitchen counter. Dinner, anyone? 🧪 Next up are all the refinements with extrusion rate, nozzle gauge, etc., etc., etc. Just using a simple gelatin-alginate bioink I cooked up on my stove.

Should be called Sonichedgehogite, imo! 🦔

My latest Substack post!

Reposting for my own research project interests, but my friends and followers may find this relevant, too.

Thank you! I’m looking forward to getting started.

As a Canadian, I’m definitely rethinking coming for my next conference in September.

From stem cells to microbes, human blood types (as in, venous and menstrual) contain a viscous milieu of actors...

My chapter, "Blood Acumen", looks at ‘functional entanglements’ of blood in biomedicine and bioart, to develop the concept that blood enacts responsive plasticities through transformative biochemical languages—even ‘intelligences’. 🧪
