[sudo-discuss] scanning electron microscope

[Ryan Bethencourt]

Hi Jake,

I'd be very happy to help transport the scanning electron microscope and if
it can't fit into Sudo Room, I'd also love to float the idea of potentially
housing it at Counter Culture Labs (the Sudo room DIY Bio offshoot) when we
eventually open up. Any thoughts?

How big is the SEM (I know some of them can be huge which might prohibit
location)?

All the best,
Ryan

Best,
Ryan
