DIYbio is an organization that aims to help make biology a worthwhile pursuit for citizen scientists, amateur biologists, and DIY biological engineers who value openness and safety. This will require mechanisms for amateurs to increase their knowledge and skills, access to a community of experts, the development of a code of ethics, responsible oversight, and leadership on issues that are unique to doing biology outside of traditional professional settings.

- sarah cale: Any DIY Bio/amazing tinkerers/ amateur science experimenters extraordinaire or misunderstood projects out there? We are hosting an art meets science fair in Toronto, Canada and have an open call for submissions to present your projects. We would love to see what you have been working on! Check out www.artandsciencefair.ca for more information.
- GeneralOya: Any DIY Bio enthusiasts here in Baltimore, MD? I'm putting together an iGEM 2010 team and welcome anyone between HS and a Masters degree to come participate. We will be meeting at Catonsville, MD's CCBC campus and will be working with Dr. Tom Burkett's Biotechnology lab. We need to hear from interested parties asap. If you are not a student but are interested you may take an independent study class for nominal fee that will allow you to be part of the team. Get in on the ground floor of this amazing new branch between engineering and biology, the future of IT to come. If interested contact Ryan: info@magickhands.com We will be having our exploratory meeting to gauge interest in the next 2-3 weeks, as the deadline for team registration is March 21st. Even if you are not a biologist or an engineer but have an interest, please let me know. We will need folks who are good with websites, marketing, and general creative out of the box types, looking to get their mad scientist on. I think gamer's / sci-fi fans
