http://www.3dishere.com/glowing-3d-printed-squid
Our world is about to change. Are you ready? Tips & Tricks. Glowing 3D Printed Squid. Glowing 3D Printed Squid. Yes, glowing 3D printed squid. You read that right! Rebecca Klee and Siouxsie Wiles’s “Living Light” project involves printing a squid and then filling it with bioluminescent bacteria. So cool. They are documenting the process at Lab to the Park.

From the Lab to the Park. Our experiment in open science begins! In early 2012 I came across the SciFund Challenge. Started by two ecologists from the US National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. In California, Dr. Jai Ranganathan. And Dr. Jarrett Byrnes. With a passion for communicating science to the public, and spurred on by budget cuts, Jai and Jarrett wanted to see if the crowdfunding. Model successfully used by artists and musicians could be applied to support science. One of New Zeala...

Art in the Dark | Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab
http://www.superbugslab.org/tag/art-in-the-dark
From the Lab to the Park. Tag Archives: Art in the Dark. This weekend, Western Park in Auckland was transformed with the installation of 40 works of art. And a little bit of science…. Our little installation, Living Light. A collaboration between myself and artist Rebecca Klee, was powered by glowing bacteria. Picture above was taken by Peter Jennings. Inside our little tent hung a circle of twelve 3D printed squid (you can catch a small glimpse of a squid being printed here. Or even print your own.

Infection Models | Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab
http://www.superbugslab.org/infection-models
From the Lab to the Park. The Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab is committed to applying all aspects of the 3Rs to our research where ever possible and we have a number of projects aimed at developing more relevant and/or ethically responsible infection models. Using caterpillars in place of mice to study our glowing superbugs. This work is supported by the Health Research Council (HRC) of New Zealand and the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at the University of Auckland. About Dr. Siouxsie Wiles.

Evolution in Action | Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab
http://www.superbugslab.org/evolution-in-action
From the Lab to the Park. Bacteria are masters at adapting to their environment, rearranging their genetic material or gaining new genes from their surroundings. This has allowed them to colonise pretty much every conceivable environment. From boiling hot geysers to that pink scum in your shower. Even us. Did you know that the number of cells that make up our body are outnumbered 10 to 1 by the bacteria that live on and in us? And you know what? They just keep on evolving! So as not to create some superh...

Our new website | Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab
http://www.superbugslab.org/2013/01/22/our-new-website
From the Lab to the Park. The Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab at the University of Auckland has a new website. We’re happy to have a place where we can share our research as well as more information about all the people who work in the lab. We’re especially pleased to have created an Open Lab Book, a place where lab members can keep notes on their experiments and protocols, and make them public when the work is done. Our experiment in open science begins! About Dr. Siouxsie Wiles. Art in the Dark.

http://www.superbugslab.org/tag/3d-printing
From the Lab to the Park. Tag Archives: 3D printing. Glowing squid come ashore in Auckland! Who wouldn’t want to see a load of 3D printed squid filled with glowing bacteria? This week, the Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab is taking part in the annual Art in the Dark. Festival, which sees Auckland’s Western Park. Transformed into a place of wonder and delight from Thursday the 7th to Saturday the 9th of November. A big thanks to the Maurice Wilkins Centre for Molecular Biodiscovery. For funding this project.

From the Lab to the Park. Watch our short animation below to see how fireflies are helping the fight against the deadly lung disease tuberculosis (TB):. TB was originally thought to be a hereditary disease until in 1869, French physician Jean-Antoine Villemin. Injected rabbits with material taken from people who had died of TB and showed the disease was infectious. Thirteen years later, Robert Koch. Purified the microorganism responsible,. For which he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1905.
