-=====Biology Zero=====
+=====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.

+[[http://igem.org| (iGEM) - The International Genetically Engineered Machine Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to education and competition, the advancement of synthetic biology, and the development of an open community and collaboration.]]
+=====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
+- eggshell CoCo3 concentration
+- paper chromatography

+=====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)
