About

Science is a bottomless well of some of the most amazing things this universe has to offer. There is so much amazing science and engineering that gets done, but most often the only ones who get to experience it first hand are those in expensive labs in universities. This channel aims to explore as much of fields of science and engineering as possible by showing real experiments and research being done in a fun and accessible way. While the goal is to show that even very hard science can be done in a DIY way, some projects will use some of the fancier toys that while less accessible, opens a broader range of projects that can be done. We cover everything from genetic engineering and tissue culture, to nuclear physics, to machine engineering, to chemical synthesis and more.

Video Description

Genetic modification sounds like something that would be very complicated and difficult to do but the reality is that couldn't be further from the truth. With the right tools and techniques it's something that can be done on your kitchen table if you really wanted. In this video we explore how bacteria can easily be modified to produce a range of fluorescent proteins and even bioluminesce.
