I found a dead harlequin ladybird in my study this morning.

I might dissect it.

This schematic is part of the 'Biohacking: Do It Yourself!' lab installation at Medical Museion, and explains in very simple terms the steps used in the kind of research used to produce new crops, biofuels, and medicines.

Prepared slide of a housefly leg which came with the microscope.

This image was taken with the lowest magnification (4x) objective. The field of view is about 2mm wide.

Transilluminated Parma ham. It doesn't look as gorgeous as it tastes.

Visitors to the opening of the 'Biohacking: Do It Yourself!' lab installation at Medical Museion are treated to Rüdiger Trojok's hackerstyle DNA extraction - using salt, washing up liquid, ice, and alcohol. This protocol is widely used in schools, science centers, hackerspaces, and makerfaires, as a demonstration of how easy it can be for people to understand and take part in biotech research.
