Raspberry Pi used in Biomedical Research

[@mmnewman]

Love all the family connections in this one! Now I imagine Joel interviewing potential staff and asking "is your dad or mom by any chance an electrical engineer?" : )

[@skinklizard]

I know, right? best video on the internet, today (a year later).... great work family. I'm working through the Gerling Engineering videos in chorological order. This is my favorite so far 👍👍

[@gravelrhoads]

In case no one has told you lately, you and your family are so cool. The amount of ingenuity displayed in the video is amazing. That's why open source and right to repair are so important right now.

[@johanngambolputty5351]

Its not just reproduce-ability, its also the whole ethos of not reinventing the wheel, sharing findings so that we can explore a larger knowledge space. Proprietary software and hardware flies in the face of that, because you will often have to waste time re-implementing the same stuff, especially if something ends up too expensive, or it seemed more profitable to price some people out.

Another brilliant video. Your Brother, Joe stated two points that you reinforced about science and open source. I wondered why Mike, Fillian's father chose RP vs. Arduino ecosystem but his answer RE: Python made total sense; why force his son to deal with C++ and then the additional reward: Higher level code development using numpy, pandas and matplotlib.

Haha a truly open source family.

[@anon_y_mousse]

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think mice are cute. I do wonder if the reason they're so capable is because we're training them in labs to be smarter. I'd love to see a comparison with randomly collected field mice and see how they perform. Also, I love the attitude towards open source, that's the way all science should be IMO.

[@GeerlingEngineering]

We think they're pretty cute too; but I'd have to leave my brother to explain the relationship of the lab mice to an average field mouse! I know it's a huge deal the way labs deal with sourcing and breeding mice used in research.

The question is: where do you source RPIs from? all on back orders for a year! insane

[@GeerlingEngineering]

I believe one of those was purchased in a kit from CanaKit or something like that; it can be hard to find them right now, but if you're patient, and follow rpilocator.com or sign up for waitlists/mailing lists from the suppliers, they do come available now and then.

lol. i'm a bioengineer but i used arduinos to build electromechanical controllers to automate prototype cancer diagnostic tools for delivering assays. you don't need some high powered PC, FPGA, etc... to do 'tasks' signal processing is where you need some power. raspberry pi's can do light signal processing no problem.

[@Private-GtngxNMBKvYzXyPq]

Outstanding.

[@KarlMiller]

You might want to let your brother know that windshield wiper fluid could be used for circulation in the heater core so it won't freeze and then it could be dropped into a small fridge/freezer thru a copper coil to avoid messing with the ice water.

[@eDoc2020]

The fridge would need to be far enough away that the mice can't hear it, and there would need to be some sort of buffer to even out the fridge's temperature swings. It's probably just easier to use a cooler with ice.

Okay but why are they just using ice for chilling? Seems like a refrigerant loop would work with less maintenance.

[@jadytolda174]

Labs generally have abundant free ice, and an ice water slurry remains at a near-constant temperature just above freezing. Seems like an elegant and cost-effective solution with the ice

[@snekulcire]

For what they're doing they'd have to use either expensive cooling systems or have lots of sensors and logic to make sure the cooling system is consistent and stable. A voltage drop during the day in the summer could change the effectiveness of the system. With the ice cooler, they just have to make sure they don't run out of ice. It certainly makes the whole setup a lot cheaper. Also, the ice can probably cool rapidly better in such a small space, but that's just me guessing.

[@Nobe_Oddy]

WOW!!! I just LOVE learning about all the ways RaspPi's are used, ESPECIALLY in way's you would NEVER THINK!! (like the explosion proof gas sniffer from the main channel a few months ago) And then seeing a setup meeting the needs of the users with 3d-printed, off-the-shelf, 'generic' parts all while costing a SMALL fraction of what is typically used.... that just makes me SMILE!!!! I LOVE 'sticking it to the man' if you will LOL I'm all for capitalism, that IS the one of the CORE FREEDOMS of this great Nation after all. But when it is an OUTRAGEOUS COST that is preventing GOOD SCIENCE from not only being REPRODUCED but even just investigated to begin with, that is no longer just Capitalism - that is GREED. And that NEEDS to be re-thought when it come to academia. There are SOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY problems when it comes to academia, funding, and NEW SCIENCE not being able to be seen. You can't come up with a new theory that goes against the 'old guard' if it would cause you (and your entire science department) to lose funding. -- For example if you could essentially PROVE that Dark Matter 100% DOES NOT EXIST, then ALL these 100's of BILLIONS (if not TRILLIONS) of dollars that have gone into finding it were TOTALLY POINTLESS, then all the CURRENT Projects being run, AND the future projects currently being built, are TOTALLY POINTLESS AND A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY. Don't you think SOMEONE that benefits from that cash flow just might try to STOP YOU from proving it? Well this MAY be the reason why MORE SCIENCE is NOT done with 'off-the-shelf' products and 'open source' code. (I'm not trying to say it is, but it was just an idea that came to me just now lol) .... Why WOULDN'T you try to spend as little as possible and WANT to share the results and procedures with the world? If it TRULY is the SCIENCE you are pursuing then then you would. But MONEY (and by nature also 'POWER') basically control science today. You CANNOT tell an 'Egyptologist' that the Ancient Egyptians absolutely could NOT cut granite with the tools they had available to them during the time period they claim (essentially copper is too soft to cut the granite that has CLEARLY been cut and iron tools had not been invented in 3000BC when 'Egyptologists' CLAIM this was all taking place) You would be SHUNNED, RIDICULED, SHAMED, and basically REMOVED from Academia if you point this out to them and tell them they are wrong - which they CLEARLY ARE! The reason why is because it would proven them ALL WRONG. And what is worse for an EGOMANIAC (which NEARLY every single 'head' of Academia is at this point) to BE WRONG or to NOT MAKE SENSE??? I would say they would RATHER NOT MAKE SENSE THEN TO ADMIT BEING WRONG. Now there are FOR SURE other AGENDAS at play here too, but Academia will NOT say that civilization is MUCH OLDER than they are claiming... even tho IT HAS BEEN PROVEN with places like Gobekli Tepe which have been PROVEN TO BE AT LEAST 12,000 YEARS OLD!! -- omg! I am SO SORRY!!! I just totally went off on a tangent that had NOTHING to do with this channel LO! I am soooo sorry! LMAO! I have a tendency to ramble A LOT but at least I USUALLY keep it to a relevant topic. HAHA!!! I was just trying to enforce your brother's point that Science NEEDS to be 'Open Source' (to a degree) and I wanted to give an example of what happens when you don't allow the science to be open. You get total control by a small group that have an agenda and there seems to be NO WAY to change it.... Well that can change no. Because now we have thew POWER OF CONSENSUS. We have the Power of THE PEOPLE! We could start our OWN Academia. We don't HAVE TO GO THROUGH THEM FIRST TO GET THE REAL SCIENCE OUT!! And that is EXACTLY what we are doing right here, right now! Yes, they do censor content and comments, that is totally true! But this is NOT THE ONLY PLACE AVAILABLE. And THAT is the TRUE POWER of 'OPEN SOURCE' we are NOT LIMITED to just ONE VENUE. We can start our own! (And we can even POWER IT WITH A PI!!! lol) Okay I'm done... I hope I was a bit entertaining at least. And I hope you're reading this Jeff. I kinda figured you are still laid up in your bed and don't really have much you can do there but read comments. And if that is the case then I REALLY hope things have turned the corner and you're feeling better already. I don't know what it's really like, but I think all of us can say we at least KNOW THAT IT SUCKS TO BE SICK! :( I wish I could help ya. ALSO, maybe this will give you some time to watch some KZbin content that you normally wouldn't have time to. And I PROMISE YOU there is going to be a video about (almost) ANY SUBJECT you have an interest in! People have made videos about "EVERYTHING" on KZbin! And THIS is YET ANOTHER REASON to promote 'open source' anyone and everyone can make a video about what interest THEM and there is bound to be at least ONE other person on the Planet that shares that same interest. you got a 1 in 7,500,000,000 chance there is LOL - Might I suggest the AWESOME Channel 'UnchartedX" if you have any interest in learning about the TRUE ORIGINS OF MAN.
