What We did Today
Jason
- I did some research on the estrogen receptors and how they work. There are three very good papers that I have posted under our project section that I think everyone should read before the meeting. I think building a estrogen receptor(and thus a BPA sensor) is feasible and withing our grasp.
- I also updated the project section adding in all the plant protocols and adding some information on the Plastic Project

Lab Tip of The Day
Polyacrylmide is a potent neurotoxin in its powdered for and should not be confused with sugar, starch or cocane as the results could be detremental to your health. i.e. death will soon ensue Also if going to the hospital after a polyacrylmide incident refer to polyacrylmide simply as neurotoxin as this will sound much more uregent to the medical staff who might not be as well informed on polyacrylmide injuries. Also make sure to bring you MSDS sheet with you.
