Gamelan was neat, but it ran continuously next to the really cool demos all weekend.

Jeri, you did a great job of getting him to say all the things he didn't think to say so the whole thing was well explained.

Agarose gels are really cheap (<$1). you need a DNA stain (i.e. EtBr) which is cheap too (probs <$1 per gel). Need a UV source ($25?), filter to protect eye ($10?) and a detector (camera or your eye). The most expensive thing are the enzymes required (probably ~$1-5 per test), and the primers for the specific gene (~$30 for 1'000s of tests). You will also need a lot of other tools (pipettes, tubes, etc.) and disposables (water), you could probably set all this up ~$500 incl. machine.

Brussels sprouts + bacon is reeeaally good. I used to hate them until my mom mixed bacon in with the sprouts.

Hah! I like how you peppered him with questions and made him hesitate from time to time :). I think I'll just make my own for under 100 rather than spending 500.

haha, cool, i just had my genome analyzed for the same reason.
i'm Tt and i like beer and brussels sprouts. =)
PTC nearly makes me gag, tho, which is probably a good thing, considering it's such a potent neurotoxin.
