What's one thing I'll bring to Mars? I'll bring my meditation zafu to keep me centered, clear & mindful so I can be a valuable member of the team. Also instead of buckwheat as filler, the zafu will contain spores that can be used to seed microbial life in Mars. The leggings I'm wearing can photosynthesise to create electricity that powers life support systems. Blue is a good colour to stand out in a red landscape in case of being lost or needing help in an emergency. The rock on my right is actually a stromatolite which are layered mounds, columns, and sheet-like sedimentary rocks that were originally formed by the growth of layer upon layer of cyanobacteria, a single-celled photosynthesizing microbe. Fossilised stromatolites provide records of ancient life on Earth and are billions of years old. #biodesign #bdc2019 #utsdab #powerhousemuseum #design #mars #maas #marslab #space #oliverdamian (at Powerhouse Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw50s25hgZU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n6z3fff8q6tv
Biodesigners learning to pilot a rover using a tablet device at the Powerhouse Museum Mars Lab. High school students around Australia can also remotely control the rover under the guidance of the Mars Lab control room. #biodesign #bdc2019 #utsdab #powerhousemuseum #design #mars #maas #marslab #space #oliverdamian (at Powerhouse Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwn69X_hLST/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13ktoxiv5kn6u
@rs.tog captured a shot of one of the Death or Glory rides out in the wild! @project_sthirteen’s to be precise! 🐺😎#wolfpack #deathorglory #bdc2019 #nissan #s13 #ca18det #hatch https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZs39Tlw3u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hr8p0bs9s0f5

Bright lights. A lot of shaking going on. This is an algae incubator. The LEDs simulate sunlight & actuators simulate the wave motion in aquatic habitats. This is where transgenic algae is incubated for them to grow into healthy colonies. #biodesign #bdc2019 #utsdab #design #synthetic #biology #genetics #synbio #oliverdamian #laboratory #science #algae (at UTS Science) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVfU5tBDGW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wplticg57x2
Could this be one way to train the musculoskeletal system of the first Terra Martians before launch to adjust to the gravity in Mars which is 38% that of the Earth?

This is the Gene Gun system (biolistic bombardment). It works by using a sudden release of compressed helium into a vacuum chamber. This fast release of pressure fires micro bullets of tungsten doused with DNA constructs (that codes for fluorescence + antibiotic resistance made by E. Coli bacterial colony in last week's lab workshop) into a colony of P. Tricornutum diatoms on the target agar plate. The tungsten bullets will pierce the cell wall of the diatoms. Many of the diatoms hit with too much pressure from the tungsten bullets will simply burst and die. But some will survive with the DNA construct delivered into the diatoms's cell nucleus. The survivors will then be incubated so they can create a colony and hopefully next week we can test if the colony transformed by the DNA construct will exhibit the fluorescence phenotype. #biodesign #bdc2019 #utsdab #design #biology #genetics #oliverdamian #laboratory #science (at UTS Science) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwGiHkEHwfg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16rx2v8eey6ov
