Invited by Guerilla Science, James Chappell and I did a small performance on LoveBox festival.

The demonstration fits in the research for a bigger project we're working on.

Thank you Ivica and Martin for great times.

photo by Roo ReynoldsThank you Russell Davies for inviting me to talk on Interesting last week and writing on your blog that I will be doing 'some bio-hacking of some sort'. On stage. How else would I ever have ended up doing a performative demonstration on how to dna-hack yoghurt in front of 400 people?
Here's brief write-up of Interesting and some pictures. I have posted my slides after the break, although they might not make much sense without me and my purple gloves.
