=====BIOLOGY ZERO=====
To learn about the growing power of biology to perform useful tasks and make high value products and stunning art installations.
=====evolution=====
Major transitions:
- from nothing to something
(quantum mechanics - atoms - chemistry - molecules - biochemistry - molecular biology)
- creation of life
(unicellular organisms, yeast, bacteria - start to organize - symbiosis - cellular biology)
- multicellular
(sponges, mytochondria - communication)
- histology, physiology
(multicellular organisms outside of water)
- the brain, the language
(cultural evolution)
=====synthetic biology=====
The future is now.
Active evolution.
Work as an engineer with the elements of natural evolution.
Change the informations in cells with modified viruses: genetic engineering.
Crisp-Cas9 (gnome editing) - works for all kinds of organisms.

=====tissue engineering=====
[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_engineering|Tissue engineering]] is the use of a combination of cells, engineering and materials methods, and suitable biochemical and physicochemical factors to improve or replace biological tissues. 
- cultivating cells, growing things.
- biotechnology: make the micro-organisms your slave to grow things.
- bioprinter: copy the histology of cells (the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues of plants and animals) for e.g. printing organs. 
- [[http://www.invetech.com.au/portfolio/life-sciences/3d-bioprinter-world-first-print-human-tissue/|NovoGen MMX Bioprinter]] is science fiction turned into science fact: the world's first commercial 3D bioprinter to print human tissues.

- cultivating cells on hydrogel (cells on gelatines)
- cell sorting
- communication between cells when in the proper medium (or environment) + electrical flux
=====lab material=====
=====scientific method=====
=====microbiology=====
=====identifying micro-organisms=====
=====experiments=====
- lactobacillus
- bioluminus bacteria
- yeast bacteria
- acetobacter bacteria
- water analysis
- bioplastic degradation

=====microscopy=====
=====preparing a slide=====
=====gramm staining=====
=====methylene blue staining=====
=====slicing=====
=====biochemistry=====
=====spectrophotometry=====
=====metabolism=====
=====cell=====
A cell is a microscopic chemical factory.
The cell is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms. A cell is the smallest unit of life that can replicate independently, and cells are often called the "building blocks of life". (wikipedia)
