    Yes, thank you, my comments are praise and amazement towards contribution like those. There is a lot of work done and ambition it warm my heart. It is still very dangerous and experimental. And should not be attempted.

    I have far too little background in chemistry and microbiology to attempt such a project.

    Furthermore, mass spectrography (the machine that allow to know the chemical composition of a sample, which for this type of project is critical) is not open source ready (though some attempt were made and were kinda successfull)

    I do not have a personal vital need of such project, rest assured. I am still amazed of the work, dedication and selflessness that make this possible.

    For thoses that want clarification. Endotoxins are toxins that are present on the surface of bacteria. On ingestion it provoke an immune response like fever or likely an anaphylactic choc that can lead to death.

    Thank you ! I found it ! openinsulin.org. It is even more infuriating when you know how insulin is made. As a simplification, a bacteria population double every 20 mins. So if you can get ONE bacteria that can already produce it or like the project genetic engineer one from scratch so copyright laws and patents and stuff do not apply. You want to double the production ? wait 20 mins.

    Thanks you for sharing such cools projects !!! If you have more like thoses, please continue to share, i will see if i can squeeze some € to them ;)

    depend on the type of work or project you want to do multiples options exist. But i believe no project are science specific oriented so you will have to describe your search term in more mundane terms.

    i could recommend you open flexure. An open source 3d printable microscope. https://openflexure.org/

    The YouTube channel “the thought emporium” is open source friendly and very DIY, shoot them an email. (they automated pipeting work)

    You can look for local hackerspace. Some folk there are stupidly creative and knowledgable.

    I know multiples robots arm project exist but they assume you got some 3D printer. refer yourself to some hackerspace/makerspace

    If you have any luck, or found any goldmine tell us !!!
