Thanks. And yeah it was pretty crazy

so guys
I'm doing some reading

these guys developed a strain of E Coli that you put on your fruit when you run a grocery store, and it changes color if the fruit is ripe

they want to make a sticker like the normal sticker they put on fruit right now

with e coli in it

I don't think they've really

like

you know

thought this through

putting ecoli

on all fruit in a store

lolol

they won first place in the competition though

🤔

Are there less harmful strains

OOOOF COUUUUURSSCHHH

OOOOOF COOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUURSCHHH

thanks doc

eli you doing stuff motivates people

the problem is it needs to be a cascade of people doing cool shit

then everyone will follow

it has to be normalized

we should do it like fightclub

you get the zucc if you go one month without doing a thing

That could work

"Firstly, despite the cells being immobilised in the latex coating, genetically modified E.coli cells are in contact with fresh produce intended for consumption and could potentially be consumed themselves. Due to unease in society regarding GMOs, and also heavy legal restrictions surrounding the release and applications of GMOs, there is anticipated to be a large backlash or consumer concern raised about this issue.

Hopefully outreach events similar to the ones we held, and a growing understanding of synthetic biology will help to diffuse this concern. "

HURRRRRR

I'm getting a phd in this shit and I'm telling you right now no matter what the fuck you do to e coli it's not a good idea to eat it

i think after this spring/summer it will be normalized and people will see how easy it is

@Eli Mosley ???

what did he mean by this

what is happening this spring break'

Shit like this is what makes normies freak out over GMOs and nonorganic foods. @Convo

mmm

the "everything is a GMO" meme is dumb

it's true that dogs and oranges and grapes are all GMOs since they were selectively bred

but the problem is that everything is fragile now because they don't have robust genes cultivated over millions of years

so if things go wrong they all die

which isn't a problem in, say, wild strawberries

remember when people could eat peanuts without dying?
