on Experimenting with Others. The Rise of D-I-W-O Science. Profiling hacked biotech equipment (made cheaper and more accessible), world-changing iGEM projects, and online group experiments.

1. ON EXPERIMENTING WITH OTHERS. THE RISE OF DIWO SCIENCE ERI GENTRY| [email_address] | @ERIGENTRY

2. WWBD? What would Bill (Gates) do? “If I were a teenager today, I’d be hacking biology… Creating artificial life with DNA synthesis. That’s sort of the equivalent of machine-language programming.” - In an interview by Steven Levy, author of Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution

4. Growing Communities of Citizen Scientists

5. A collaborative, collegiate environment. BioCurious doesn’t take IP. A place for education, collaboration, and innovation . Biotech: today, cheap enough to exist outside of university and corporate labs. And people are interested! What we need is a place to work, learn and have fun… safely. This is what BioCurious will bring. BioCurious? Experiment with friends. The Bay Area Community lab / non-profit Biotech hackerspace.

6. Biohacks: fun and function
