home culture forums, more active forums

post some pics of your sweet rigs and plates.

actually that's another thing, the home tissue culture forum (Even though yahoo sucks) has tons of pictures, but I rarely see any pictures posted on this list.

Can you post some links to good forums/mailing lists? At times this list surges with people saying it's 'too noisy' here and wanting to go create new mailing lists to 'keep the noise level down'.... but in my opinion it just means this list is almost a ghost-town. (and why haven't those complaining people figured out email inbox filtering/grouping?)

Personally I've had a hard time finding any good and active and friendly mailing lists for micro/nano fabrication, MEMS, or electron/ion microscopy. The few I've come across are very high-quality and high-level-of-complexity, but also extremely low-activity.

I'm actually pretty lonely (research friends/team wise) because there don't seem to be many people who outside of 'industry' or the 'academic elite' that hang out and think about this stuff for fun (and with goals).

I don't even remember writing this, or what thread it came from.  The HTC forum I joined 2 years ago and it was kind of neat seeing peoples setups, and they post a lot of pictures of their plants.

You used to be able to sign into Yahoo via your Gmail account, and now you can't, so I havn't even checked the lists gallery's in a while.  I think they had an internal place on the yahoo groups you could upload your photos of whatever projects you were working on, I don't think the same is true for a google group but I could be wrong.

I only use this mailing list really, and www.sciencemadness.org for hard-core chemistry.  I'm not involved in much hardware stuff so I don't know what list or forums people frequent for that.

I can relate a lot to your last sentence.  Havn't really found a solution to it.  I've been video chatting with a lot of people recently so if you ever want to chat science hit me up!  I think the best solution to that problem, at least personally, is grad school, so that's the plan.

I really liked going into BOSSLab to meet like-minded people but, getting to and from there kind of sucked because of where I lived.  Obviously having a maker-space around or something like that would help.

Nathan, I have some experience in micro/nano (mostly making PDMS stamps and thermal imprint) and I used electron microscopy.  If you want I can try to help. 

Best,
