ICPS beginner

[Timothy Dennis]

Hello all. I have been reading and have become more and more interested in the subject of learning and experomenting with adult cells to stem cells. Learning how to do these Experoments at home. Could you tell me what open sources are availabile for beginners through novice for education as well as equipment required and learning how to properly use that needed equipment. I am a 40ish disabled retired firefighter with average financials but an abundance of time. I would love to get involved with something that intrests me again and possibly I could someday make some small contribution to make the world a better place and give me a sence of purpose again. Any feedback is appreciated as I have the utmost respect for everyone forging forward in such an honorable field...

Hey Tim,

     You should check out our tutorials and kits at The ODIN. Human cells are a bit complicated so you might want to learn the basics first. How to pipette and run agarose gels. How to get foreign DNA into cells i.e. transformations and many others things. If you have any questions feel free to email me at ca...@the-odin.com

Thanks,
     Josiah

Thank you very much for the info.

I've been eye-ing Josiah's store for a month now. I looked long and hard for any store that can get me started with biohacking on the cheap, and I don't think you can't beat his kits. I intend to get his complete starter kit as soon as I have enough play-money.

Typo...

I meant to write "I don't think you CAN beat his kits." It offer pretty much everything us newbs to get started

Did you mean iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells)?

Are you planning on getting iPSC protocols and reagents? That would be
very interesting.
