Lab Building to Commence
Hey everyone,
We've been mentioning it for a while, and I thought maybe just an official 'hey there' might be in order...
I am in the midst of moving down to sunny (drought ravaged) California to build a laboratory and grind workshop with Cassox. Like in 3 days.
Not only are we setting up a serious research station, complete with clean room and cell culture and testing facilities, but we will be working on making this as robust and self sustaining as possible. Zero carbon and all that.
We have a lot of projects that are going on, and we haven't forgotten about them. The NIR project is moving forward and we are starting to get some very interesting results. The printer setup will be completed once I arrive. Obviously, magnets are moving along, and we have more planned as well.
The lab will be located on a very large piece of land, and we will be very happy to have you guys swing by and check it out. Anyone who wants to come down and learn a little microbiology, a little self surgery, or just work on the greenhouse is welcome. The hopes are that, while it is a bit out of the way, it can become a workshop and research location for the community. Anyone who wants to come down is welcome.
We are really excited about this. It's a little different from a makerspace. Anyone who has any suggestions, support, or input, please chime in. Wew look forward to doing many exciting things :)

RE: coatings. This is in the works. Plasma beam coater etc... We've certainly discussed but aren't currently pursuing due to other projects we're prioritizing. If someone wanted to focus on this type of a project though we've got the space and would love to participate. We definitely have the ability to test the coatings once applied, but it's hard to jump into learning an entirely new process and specialty when there is so much else we'd like to work on.
Edit: Glims may feel differently about this. Coating technology is his cup of tea.
