The History & Future of DIYBIO - 5/4/2016 Manylabs SF
Garage biohackers have become a favorite topic of the media in the past few years. Every week, we hear a story about the growing possibility of designer "glowing cats" or CRISPR induced bio-terrorism. The reality of the DIYBio movement is more interesting and hopeful than many of these stories would have you believe. In our first Open Science Salon at Manylabs, we'll talk with Mac Cowell who, along with Jason Bobe, started DIYBio.org in 2008. They were watching the momentum building around the Maker Movement, and were interested in how it would intersect with biotechnology. The DIYBio blog and site has helped lay an important foundation for all the devices, spaces, and people that have made DIYBio what it is today. We'll talk with Mac about the origin story of the site and what the next decade might hold. It will be an interview followed by an open forum and discussion. Manylabs is an open science skunkworks located in the SOMA neighborhoob of San Francisco. It's home to a variety of interesting people, organizations, and ideas. This is our first Open Science Salon (we may do more, we may not, we'll see). Come join the discussion!

- 5. Dobson himself identified the characteristic features of the design as lightweight objective mirrors made of porthole glass, and mountings constructed from plywood, Teflon strips and other low- cost materials. Since he built these telescopes as aids in his avocation of instructional sidewalk astronomy, he prefers to call the design a "sidewalk telescope". It appears that John Dobson simply combined all these innovations in a design that is focused towards one goal: building a very large, inexpensive, easy to use, portable telescope for the sole purpose of visual observing of astronomical objects as a way to bring astronomy to the masses. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobsonian_telescope Dobsonian ~$1,000 1960s? Meade Instruments, Celestron and other manufacturers began to introduce their variation on this design by the late 1990s. Although manufactured scopes include such niceties as metal tubes and more refined hardware, these telescopes are still extremely affordable. In late 2006, 6 inch models cost around $300 US and 10 to 12 inches (250 to 300 mm) scopes can still be had for under $1,000 US.
