How are you? What are you working on in this new year? I hope everyone is well.

Microscope repair and building up cash to continue the culture shock electroporator plastic case project.
I got a 3D filament printer for its frame and guts -- it's a leapfrog creatr, so it will benefit from open controls.
I might be able to get a CNC circuit board prototyper at auction tomorrow -- that will help do new designs.

There was little interest in a mostly working electroporator so my new designs will be about remote living off grid in huts or RVs
instead of bio lab gear, unless it's a prepaid sure thing. But, I am going to slowly finish the culture shock electroporator
plastic case as a lower priority -- some RV/off-grid products may launch before that is beta tested.

Very cool.  I think the electroporator would be great for amateur labs, colleges ,and schools.  Better transformation efficiency than calcium chloride is the selling point? 

RV/Off Grid / Van Life probably has a larger customer base though for sure.  It's definitely a "fad" on instagram (I follow some accounts) but I feel like there's a big difference between wealthy people who live in a very nice Mercedes sprinter and have somewhere to go back to, vs someone living out of their car because of desperation.  Either way, off-grid living hardware sounds very interesting no matter who you're helping.
