Josiah Zayner famed biohacker and creator of The Odin has our best interests in mind. He is now selling a glowing yeast kits that empowers brewers with blacklights to make delicious fluorescent meads and saisons. Glowing beer is just the first phase. He has a plan in the works to develop an “anti-cancer” themed beer using squalene (found in olive oil and shark oil). Josiah had been a synthetic biologist at NASA and now being a notable biohacker has attracted the FDAs attention. The FDA is questioning his glow in the dark yeast as being an unapproved food coloring additive.
Adafruit has also covered a glowing bacteria project by Josiah’s brother and head of marketing Micah Zayner.
Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.
