Hello Reclone Community :wave:

You’re all invited to our Community Meeting next week, on 2025-02-19T14:00:00Z. We will hear from @adrian on Bits and Pieces: Building Accessible Devices for Molecular Bio and a Prototype UI Software.

Adrian will be presenting a tube rotator and an orbital shaker done on a very low budget, as well as an OpenSource UI software prototype that can simulate some basic concepts for students and assist in envisioning experiments.

:arrow_right: Join us via Zoom: Launch Meeting - Zoom

Feel free to invite and share news to others in your networks who might be interested :star_struck:

You can also check our previous meetings at Events – Reagent Collaboration Network or via the Reclone YouTube channel.
Likewise, you can see the Upcoming Events on the Reclone Calendar, tell us you’re Interested/Going, and add these to your own calendar.

See you all next week!

:pushpin: Reclone Community Meeting Recap

Thanks again for joining us for @Adrian’s inspiring talk. He shared about “Bits and Pieces: Building Accessible Devices for Molecular Bio and a Prototype UI Software. :hammer_and_wrench:

Here are some highlights of their work:

:heavy_check_mark: They sought to develop an orbital shaker and an incubated tube rotator using 3D printing, commonplace household items and electronics to make alternative devices that can be used in frugal/community labs.

:heavy_check_mark: They developed a prototype open-source app similar to Geneious, SnapGene, and Benchling, initially as a way to check LAMP primers.

:heavy_check_mark: They’re looking for other developers to support trialling these open-source tools - go check out their GitHub pages above!
