Join us for another Pant Bio Meeting and Weekly Workshop!
Pant Bio is a dedicated group of scientists, designers, horticulturalists, and artists with an honest and deep appreciation for the plant kingdom.
Plants are some of the most elegant machines nature provides us. Their systems are capable of nearly infinite growth and the manufacturing of countless useful products. And they look great while doing it!
Everyone part of Pant Bio is a student. If there's something you want to learn, we'll do our best to help you learn it.
Every Sunday, the CCL Plant bio team holds a general meeting regarding ongoing Plant Bio projects, followed by our plant tissue culture weekly workshop. Stay tuned into our social media pages, as we sometimes have guest lecturers!
Have a pant related biohacking project you've been eager to work on? Stop on by and see if we can help.
Our Current Projects:
- Purple Melon Project - Genetically modifying a watermelon to have dark purple flesh.
- Redwoods Project - An ongoing project to grow redwood trees around the world in places with similar climate to the coasts of California. Compiling growth data should enable us to build a better understanding of how redwood trees adapt to climate change.
- Weekly Workshops - Teaching the community fundamental tissue culture skills and techniques.
