Viruses enter, subvert and exploit the finely tuned molecular machinery of cells, rewiring systems to convert them into a virus factory; over a few billion years of a co-evolutionary arms race, they’ve developed some great exploits. Some are elegant and clever, some are messy but impressively functional, a few are just baffling. A lot like the folks at EMF.\r\n\r\nUsing a few of my favourite viruses as case studies, we’ll build a simple mental model of how cells work and then break it. We’ll see how viruses cram surprising amounts of information into tiny genomes by overlapping their code, how they hijack the cell’s machinery to take control of its internal processes, and how they defy biology’s “central dogma”. Finally, I’ll describe the viruses that have inserted themselves into the human genome, becoming permanent and functional parts of our own DNA. \r\n\r\nThis is a fast, accessible introduction to a few fun corners of molecular biology and virology, from someone who has spent their career studying and working with viruses.

You’ll also learn what the numbers mean, what these sensors are good for, and where their limits are.\r\nMaterials\r\n\r\nYou’ll work with:\r\n\r\n ESP8266 board\r\n SDS011 particulate matter sensor (PM2.5 and PM10)\r\n BME280 sensor (temperature, humidity, air pressure)\r\n USB cable\r\n Jumper wires\r\n Plastic tube (air inlet)\r\n\r\nRequirements\r\n\r\n A device with a web browser and WiFi, such as a phone or laptop\r\n All setup is browser-based, no software install needed\r\n No previous experience required, beginner-friendly\r\n\r\nMaterials Costs\r\n\r\nIt costs €60/ÂŁ51 for a kit to take home.\r\nInstructions\r\nhttps://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1H4KuVn2qhhqdg9caCRLc4V6N_QEV1xoevmVM4edoR44/edit?slide=id.ge5f30f4c04_1_52#slide=id.ge5f30f4c04_1_52\r\n\r\nBuy a kit at the Hardware Hacking Area (Or Irish Embassy if I am not around ) to guarantee a seat, or come by early.
