Poll of the Day > I have realized that talking about the gym is inaccessible to some here

(+) Yeah! (+)

As a result I will start introducing new/different topics of interest to me, like genome engineering and bioinformatics

I look forward to engaging discussions

I don't know much about genome engineering and bioinformatics (tbh I think that's my first time seeing the latter word), but I am interested in learning more.

I only know about agrobacteria for editing plants

The gym on base finally went back to 24/7 recently. Now I can go back to my midnight runs...

Oh and this isn't an April Fool's day joke

I hope not. Im excited for your topics on both of these subjects. And also to keep seeing your gym topics.

Do you even bioinformatics bro

I just want to see more gym pics of you. For research....

Midnight runs are only for drunk runs! It's been a second since I did a late night drunk run with my dog. They were surprisingly fun.

I can't do drunk runs on base because I wouldn't even make it to the gym drunk. I would be stopped at the gate. But I like going at midnight because the upstairs track will mostly likely be empty. And my showers can be pretty long. And there's almost no one there. I use to go when the only free time I had was late at night, but I still like it even though I have more time during the day...

I've switched from an afternoon runner to early morning. Got my 5 miles in this morning at 4:30. It's nice to run and see almost no one on the roads. The only worries are my dog bolting out after a bunny or skunk.

Definitely slept in instead of going to the gym at 5. Curse my working until 9 last night

---

Did gym but I don't like constantly being around a bunch of people and it's not even my job. But I really do want to get in athletic shape so the only answer is a simple home gym setup. I'm gonna gather up some funds then contact my old personal trainer for equipment and some workout routines. I need a squat rack, high bar for pullups and couple heavyish dumbbell (50lbs) for stuff like lunges and calf raises. Not gonna bother with upper body buffing too much I just want a big butt and hot legs. The high bar will sort anything above the waist that's a very difficult exercise.

I did that during my bachelor thesis. Quite wild how you have all these micro-level editing techniques and the the crux of it all is dipping flowering plants in a suspension of transformed agrobacterium cells.

Idk what it is about this topic that made me think of:

Thanks, bro.

My god it's been a busy day

Restriction digests, gel + purification, yeast transformation, E. coli transformation... Is it the weekend yet

How is talking inaccessible? Are some users here non-verbal? Not able to type?

I am confused.

Because they don't relate to or understand the language. It's hard talking in detail about any subject you're not familiar with

I called plates 'discs'

they were ROUND

I think people don't want to talk about the gym with you because you have a smug, unapproachable attitude about it

That's certainly not true, seeing as I've only ever advocated for accessibility and inclusivity. Hell the thing I advocate most is just going on a walk.

Bro my bacteria need to work out their flagella more, how do I convince them to lift?

Clench281 posted...

Ah okay.

Still accessible, though....

Semantics, I suppose.

But Clench, given you are allowed to talk about it, what are you actually working on?

Developing genetic engineering methods for high throughout variant generation and phenotyping

---

Variant generation through controlled modification?

---

Yes and no. Specific variants, but in a pool at the scale we're dealing with. Could be used small scale for generating specific variants with known identity one at a time, but to me the appeal is the pooled high throughout approach because the cost per variant is so small. On the order of tens of thousands.

I've already nailed down the coding part of things, and am ramping up the test case experiment

---

I understand creating specific/known variants through vector insertions or say deletions. I am not really seeing the step to large scale, unknown/random variants.

You go to 8 of them to get badges and challenge the Elite 4

---

You can use Cas9 with an oligonucleotide repair template to generate a desired edit

Now scale that up to tens of thousands

those topics are also inaccessible to people here as well. The only truly all-inclusive topic on this board is talking about the poll.

as a member of gen x I can tell you that no pill or shot is gonna make you a meat head in the way you want.

hard work and determination is what it takes. Skip the fast pass crap that does nothing.

Clench spends 90% of his life in the gym. So I don't think he's taking any fast pass crap...

I don't know what your generation has to do with this, but there are definitely shots and pills that will make your gains objectively faster.

I can't be the only one that liked his gym topics, they were a staple of this board for a while

I mean he's almost kind of doing it here. I don't know what I'm supposed to interpret this topic as other than "haha you dorks are too nerdy to understand gym stuff I guess"

I'm being facetious

His post makes no sense. There's tons of stuff that can buff you up quick. Unless he meant without side effects and even then there's a couple.

I'll leave that to you, I am a small scale kind of guy when it comes to my genetics related biochem. It sounds remotely familiar, but it is not something I have done in recent years.

Maybe 90% of days, but only 5-6% of my life

I spend probably more than 30% of my life in bed.
