Turning Gatorade Into Meat

I do love that thought emporium is functionaly a crowd funded mad scientist

As a cell biologist, I'm fascinated. It seems it’s time to seriously diversify the contents of the refrigerator in our laboratory.

"Milk is just purified blood." I guess all mammals are purified vampires.

It's crazy to think that common grocery store items could potentially replace some of the most expensive elements in the lab. Very eager to see where this leads to, and how it could potentially revolutionize lab grown meat.

future racism will be about if you were a red gatorade test tube baby or a blue gatorade test tube baby

This is giving "how much sawdust can you put in a rice crispy treat before people notice?" And I love that.

“A cow is just a machine that turns grass into milk.” The design. Its very human.

Why are academically interesting videos being demonetised whilst Scamverts are STILL being pumped into my home by YouTube?

Ah, splendid, we're getting closer and closer to finally finishing the ages old task of creating a Homunculus.

One important thing to keep in mind, these cell lines were started and maintained in DMEM with FBS. This means that cells that preferred DMEM and FBS thrived, while those that didn't died off. With rapidly multiplying cells, it would likely be quite feasible to gradually wean the cells entirely off of DMEM and FBS and onto a substitute. This may be much easier than trying to generate cocktails of growth factors. Another key point is that the cells themselves often make the hormones they want. This is why many cell lines prefer partial media changes rather than complete media changes. This way, the cells always get exposed to most of the hormones they've generated.

I'm happy that you looked into this as most organisms aren't too picky about what they ingest to survive and most of what we consume is either organic or derived from something that is. Like you said in the video: the biotech supply industry intentionally runs up the prices of otherwise inexpensive compounds simply because they know they can due to the grant money flowing into universities and other institutions. Without people working to innovate outside the current system: very little progress will ever be made on things that major corporations aren't interested in. Just the same as how the home computer hobbyists brought about the innovations needed for a truly digital age: biotech enthusiasts will need to learn how to progress outside of the (mostly closed-off) mainstream in order to make real progress in things.

About 25 years ago when I was a student, I was chatting to a biochemist about food and they mentioned that they'd never eat a custard-filled doughnut, because egg custard is a great growth medium and she'd seen how well it works for bacterial cultures.

Dude did not grew meat, he grew a pure gamer

Please call it "Brawndo Serum, it has what cells crave"

Using Gatorade of all things to grow meat, just amazing. It just feels like an april fools joke or onion article "Mad scientist makes breakthrough cost reduction in artificial meat production, Sponsored by Gatorade".

Great video, but I also wanted to add some information about university research, for anyone interested 1. When getting grants Universities first take a portion for the use of facilities, this can go up to 50% but I believe 20-30% is standard 2. Assuming your lab isn't big enough for some major lab equipment like an NMR the university often has a communal one...that you must pay to use 3. The lab also needs to pay for graduate student tuition and wages 4. Now that the majority of the money has probably disappeared you now have to deal with whatever miscellaneous costs appear, maintenance of equipment, purchasing chemicals, traveling to scientific conventions Academia is basically a black hole that devours money

Pocari sweat can be found at most Asian markets both in the US and Canada, with many online retailers also shipping it from local warehouses. No real need to have it imported. Also it comes in its original powder form if you're worried about shipping weights. But all in all its effectively a Japanese clone of Gatorade made by Otsuka Pharma.

new alchemy video just dropped

I think mcnuggets are already made like this

Your channel is the most interesting thing I've found on Youtube ever. I wish you success so you can keep working on the projects you want to do and for us to watch them
