Small, thoughtful science: A Live AMA on Amateur Biology and Independent Research with Sebastian Cocioba

The Fancy Labcoat Guild

In our first special AMA hosted by Scifind on our Discord, we brought in Sebastian Cocioba–the 21st century's very own modern Mendel. 🧬 Sebastian is an amateur biologist and one of the founders of Binomica Labs, who works from the comfort of his home lab, surrounded by his beloved plants and instruments. From cultivating his passion to surviving the joyful grind of tinkering away in his bespoke workshop, he's seen it all.

Sebastian is a plant whisperer and microbe wrangler who has a burning passion for science, further exemplified that he built out his lab in his private abode. This love of science is exemplified throughout not only his daily life but also on his popular Twitter account, @ATinyGreenCell, where he's tweeting sometimes humorous, and oftentimes insightful recountings of his adventures and activities, trials and tribulations he goes through every day. You can also check out his work on his profile at Scifind.io

In this AMA you'll hear everything from his origins to tips and tricks in the lab (especially ways to get cheap hardware and reagents) as well as some of his current projects that keep him up at night!
Do note that it is recorded on Discord and involves a live audience and active chat.
