		<description><![CDATA[by Girish Sagaram The final day of the SymbioticA Biotech-Art workshop began with a session about plant tissue culture and cloning with Dr. Tien Huynh from RMIT Applied Science. We were given tiny ‘daughter’ plants cloned from a Chinese orchid species and separated them in sterile conditions before planting them in individual sealed jars containing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Girish Sagaram The first exercise of the day was a practical session in the art of tissue culture. This is where live tissue is grown from cells extracted from either plants or animals. The group was asked to bring in samples of animal tissue to use for this purpose. When animals are killed for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in a strange emotional space. I&#8217;m used to an inner life that&#8217;s a zigzag ride between certainty and uncertainty. But during these last few intense days these uncertainties are of a different colour. For me the only difference between cooking a chicken curry and working with animal materials in labs is that one activity [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Girish Sagaram During this week we’ve been learning that many of the popular beliefs about DNA, how it works and how scientists work with it aren&#8217;t completely accurate. The familiarity we have with the idea of DNA and its association with identity has been formed in part by concepts such as &#8216;DNA fingerprinting&#8217; which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Girish Sagaram Whilst the science of genetics has solved many puzzles about living things and how physical characteristics are passed from generation to generation, there are a great many mysteries still to be solved. As the &#8220;Ghost in Your Genes&#8221; video illustrates, there are epigenetic factors that influence how genes work, meaning DNA and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you google &#8216;DNA portrait&#8217; you get 3,110,000 results. The concept of DNA as &#8217;fingerprint&#8217; has taken its place within our culture (TV cop shows for instance) and we&#8217;ve come to accept the idea that it&#8217;s the key to our existence. The mystique surrounding DNA was the hot topic today as we isolated our DNA and held our very &#8216;identity&#8217; in our hands [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a traumatised sparrow flew frantically about our heads we spent this morning&#8217;s session learning about DNA extraction, restriction enzymes and electrophoresis (that is an awesome link &#8211; click it, go on). It involved a lot of metaphors: &#8216;nature&#8217;s scissors&#8217; and a rather amusing reference to the equisite corpse. As I write we&#8217;re about end our [...]]]></description>

As discussed in the two previous posts, the major task of the day was the construction of &#8216;laminar flow&#8217; hoods within which various bio-science activities can be conducted in a sterile micro-environment. We self-organised into [...]]]></description>

The silliest group attempt to create a sterile hood today couldn&#8217;t help itself animating the otherwise very rational scientific instrument with human characteristics. What started with a pair of goggles inserted into the protective cover to overcome the problem of not being able to see through cloudy plastic quickly evolved into arms, [...]]]></description>
