All done and all discarded! Thank you all for following along with #AmberDoesCRISPR!

GOODBYE MICROBES #AmberDoesCRISPR

UPDATE: Got some E. coli on the experimental plate! I call this a success.

Now to bleach these microbes. #AmberDoesCRISPR

UPDATE: I think I got an A overall! #AmberDoesCRISPR

Got a 97 on my final paper!! #whoo #AmberDoesCRISPR

UPDATE: Done with incubation! Now just to wait (at room temperature). #AmberDoesCRISPR

UPDATE: Now the DNA mixture is incubating in a pot on the stove. #AmberDoesCRISPR #KitchenScience

This is what the final solution looks like! Off to the fridge for now. #AmberDoesCRISPR

TIL Cas9 is yellow! #AmberDoesCRISPR

ME: I have baby E. coli! JOHN: You’re a parent! #AmberDoesCRISPR

UPDATE: No bacteria yet! Just gotta wait longer. #AmberDoesCRISPR

My apartment smells like agar now. #AmberDoesCRISPR

Growing bacteria! See you in a few hours!! #AmberDoesCRISPR

Already broke the thread. But I’ll be making (non-pathogenic) E. coli grow today!! #AmberDoesCRISPR https://twitter.com/amberying/status/1558896429887885313

Agar plates out to cool! #AmberDoesCRISPR

Making agar plates with a microwave. Literal kitchen science. #AmberDoesCRISPR

This is normal in any class but I have hit the point where I actually have to pay attention and concentrate to understand what’s going on. #AmberDoesCRISPR

HIV (and AIDS) used to be a death sentence. I was too young to remember most of the activism but I remember the AIDS Quilt being shown at the Mall in DC. There has been so much progress but now we can gene-edit human cells or HIV itself? WILD. #AmberDoesCRISPR

I'll be discussing this more when I make the video (after I solve my technical difficulties) but with what we now know about HIV and CRISPR, we can give people resistance to HIV and eliminate latent viral reservoirs. #AmberDoesCRISPR

Today's lesson is how to stop HIV infection using CRISPR. It's not quite a cure but this progress was unimaginable during the AIDS crisis. #AmberDoesCRISPR
