To better study the cellular environment, biologists create devices containing chambers and tunnels through which fluids flow, mix, or are trapped. You'll use these same design principles to create interactive fluid structures inspired by the MIT Media Lab's Venous Materials project. Mimic the veins of plants and animals or create geometric designs that flow in response to the press of a finger.

One of the most important tools in molecular biology and genetic engineering, gel electrophoresis uses electrical currents to analyze DNA, RNA, and proteins. And now it's in your hands to make art with! In this workshop, you'll learn how to "run a gel" to separate dyes and create gelatinous creations reminiscent of abstract expressionism.
