<hr />
<div>The arsenic sensing bacteria was made by Dr. Jan Roelof van der Meer. The arsenic reporter is built on a naturally occurring bacterium which is resistant to arsenite and arsenate. The E.coli is genetically modified with Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP) acquired from jellyfish to emit fluorescence.A repressor protein is attached to specific points on the DNA of the bacteria. This prevents a reaction from taking place within the DNA thus stopping it from emitting fluorescence. When the bacteria come in contact with the contaminated water, the arsenic penetrates the cell wall. At this stage the repressor protein, which has an affinity for arsenic, releases itself from the DNA and binds to the arsenic. Thus a reaction takes place through the DNA which results in fluorescence exposed to UV light.<br />
<br />
The Lysogenic Broth(LB) serves as a potential food source for the bacteria. Once the equipment is autoclaved, two cultures were made – one liquid and another on agar plates.The LB solution was prepared by mixing the LB powder with distilled water. Kanamycin, an antibiotic, was added to the LB to kill any other strains of bacteria that may have been present. The strain of bacteria was genetically modified to resistance kanamycin. Agar was added to one half of the solution and set in petri dishes over-night. The preserved genetically modified bacteria were added to the other half. Different dilutions were made by adding water in various proportions. They were then left in an orbital shaker overnight to allow the growth of the bacteria. The dilutions were then spread over the agar plates that had set over night. They were sealed and the bacteria were left to cultivate. Later, the plates were stained. Favorable colonies were chosen and were used to test water for arsenic poisoning. A new glycerol stock was created with the selected bacterial colony and preserved for future use.</div>Radhahttp://www.hackteria.org/wiki/index.php?title=Dumpster_Diving&diff=8579Dumpster Diving2013-04-27T18:55:43Z<p>Radha: Created page with 'we went to the junkyard at NCBS and picked up various things that were considered as junk and discarded by them. there were numerious odds and ends which quite a few of us used i...'</p>

<div>I dropped science like a hot potato the first chance that i got. but i was baffled upon listening to the project that Spela and Robertina working on. i could not wrap my head around the concept of a human algae hybrid. we helped her perform the chloroplast extraction to inject into a zebrafish embryo.<br />
<br />
we followed the step by step procedure to extract the chlorophyll from the tobacco leaves which was then injected into the zebrafish embryo. this was part of the experiment, hoping that if it were successful then one day organisms other than plants could use photosynthesis as a way of producing food.</div>Radhahttp://www.hackteria.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_Electronics&diff=8531Paper Electronics2013-04-26T07:48:31Z<p>Radha: </p>

<div>It has been an overwhelming two weeks at the Hackteria Lab.Interacting with the various scientists and artists has been very thought provoking. It was beautiful to watch the scientists constantly tinkering with odds and ends to produce with the strangest outcomes. I was completely baffled upon hearing what each one of them had been working and really hope to follow up on how their projects proceed.<br />

HOW DO YOU MAKE IT?<br />
[[DIY : microscope]]<br />
<br />
The first day started with us making our own microscopes. Maithili, Reuben and I started off by installing the web-cam in our laptops and once it was functioning we dismantled it and inverted the lens. On placing it onto the photosensitive chip we tried to find the sweet spot where we were able to see the pixels on the screen.<br />
[[File:pixels.jpg|thumb|centre]]<br />
Once we knew that it was working we fixed the lens into place and started examining other things under the microscope.<br />
[[File:Dirty water.jpg|thumb|center]]<br />
[[File:Tip of a leaf.jpg|thumb|center]]<br />
[[File:part of a flower.jpg|thumb|center]]<br />
By this time we were aware that microorganisms are not found everywhere, contrary to what we are taught believe. But we were lucky to find a moving organism in one of our water samples.<br />
Later we made a stable structure for our microscope with found materials. We attached an external source of light and made an elevated platform for the slides and an adjustable microscope. <br />

The day started with us getting the technical aspects like the accounts on hackteria and guests.epfl.ch. Then we started off with our discussion of what science is and its relation to art and similarly technology and design and how it is, in some twisted way related to religion.<br />
<br />
We discussed the experiments we would try for the next class. We zeroed in on the Ganzfeld experiment and wine making.</div>Radhahttp://www.hackteria.org/wiki/index.php?title=Radha_Parulekar&diff=7102Radha Parulekar2013-01-24T05:21:44Z<p>Radha: </p>

<div>The ingredients are fairly simple and subjective to change depending on ones taste.<br />
<br />
GRAPE JUICE: Enough freshly squeezed grape juice to fill the bottle(s) of your choice. FLAVORING & YEAST: For 1 bottle – 1 cm of ginger, honey for sweetening (to taste), 2 cinnamon barks, 1 flat tablespoon of bakers yeast.<br />
<br />
Boil grape guice, ginger and cinnamon. Add honey to cut the sharpness and sweeten to taste. Strain out the cinnamon barks and ginger and let the juice cool down. When it is lukewarm, activate yeast (mix in a small amount of warm water and let rest for a minute ) and pour it into the juice. Fill into a bottle (NOT the one you plan on serving it in) and keep in a dark cool place. Check after a week, there should be a thick brown foam at the top. Remove it without letting it mix in with the wine. This can be done either with a decanter or a fine muslin cloth strainer. Pour wine back in container. Repeat process weekly for a month. One last fine strain, then bottle, chill and serve.</div>Radhahttp://www.hackteria.org/wiki/index.php?title=Wine_Brewing&diff=7098Wine Brewing2013-01-24T05:12:52Z<p>Radha: Created page with 'DIY: Wine'</p>

Day 3, and we are ready for our first experiment. We chose to do the Ganzfeld experiment in groups of two. This experience was quite remarkable. Although the success rate was not substantial (30% accuracy being the average) we were able to use the results to test the efficiency of the experiment. The coincidental similarities in each group was evident, where one person thinks of an object while the other undergoes the experiment. After having used yellow as well as red light, we decided maintaining the distance between the user and the light is essential, red being the more effective colour for the experiment. My group comprised of Fakhi and I. In both our case studies we came very close to others' diagram, finding channels that would help us guess the object better. We managed to successfully conduct the experiment and it is, evidently, a very good way of vitalizing the senses of the subject.</div>Radhahttp://www.hackteria.org/wiki/index.php?title=Day_3:_Ganzfeld_Experiment&diff=7006Day 3: Ganzfeld Experiment2013-01-18T19:24:36Z<p>Radha: </p>

<div>WHAT DO YOU NEED?<br />
<br />
TT balls<br />
<br />
blade<br />
<br />
access to white noise<br />
<br />
a constant source of bright light<br />
<br />
A second person<br />
<br />
WHAT TO DO?<br />
<br />
Cut the TT balls into halves. Cover eyes with the hemispheres and look at light sources and listen to white noise. While one person does this the other tries to sent a telepathic message to him/her.<br />
<br />
The one being subjected to the experiment must keep telling the other person what they see. It is believed that the images the person sees are related to what telepathic message is being sent to him/her.</div>Radhahttp://www.hackteria.org/wiki/index.php?title=Day_3:_Ganzfeld_Experiment&diff=6974Day 3: Ganzfeld Experiment2013-01-17T17:20:51Z<p>Radha: </p>

<br />
Digi-cam<br />
<br />
Screwdrivers<br />
<br />
Adhesive<br />
<br />
Glass Slides<br />
<br />
WHAT TO DO?<br />
<br />
Install the software of the digi-cam into your computer and make sure it is functioning. Then dismantle the camera and invert the lens. This will magnify the image. Place this inverted lens onto the photo sensitive chip and test to see if the microscope is working.<br />
<br />
Fix the lens in place with it adhesive and figure out a structure for microscope.<br />

<br />
The first day started with us making our own microscopes. Maithili, Reuben and I started off by installing the web-cam in our laptops and once it was functioning we dismantled it and inverted the lens. On placing it onto the photosensitive chip we tried to find the sweet spot where we were able to see the pixels on the screen.<br />
[[File:pixels.jpg|thumb|centre]]<br />
Once we knew that it was working we fixed the lens into place and started examining other things under the microscope.<br />

[[File:part of a flower.jpg|thumb|center]]<br />
By this time we were aware that microorganisms are not found everywhere, contrary to what we are taught believe. But we were lucky to find a moving organism in one of our water samples.<br />
Later we made a stable structure for our microscope with found materials. We attached an external source of light and made an elevated platform for the slides and an adjustable microscope. <br />
