tweet “#diybiohi” to contribute to the free diybio postcard project

update: check out diybio postcard vol. 1 here

We’re launching a micro-newsletter for the diybio community: postcards mailed directly to your door featuring a short list of the most interesting work over the last month.  Subscriptions are free and anyone can submit an update.  The first card will look something like the mockup above.  The submission deadline for the first postcard newsletter is Jan 1, 2012.

First edition of the postcard.

The pilot postcard has room for 7 micro-updates. Anyone can submit an update as long as they use the following format:

• updates must be submitted via twitter* using the hashtag “#diybiohi“
• updates need to include a link to a photo of the work (bonus points for including more info)
• updates will be collected continuously until Jan 1 2012 via twapperkeeper.com and archived on this page thereafter
• the 7 “most-interesting” updates will be featured in the first postcard
• one of the photos will be used as the front of the postcard
• anyone can subscribe to receive a postcard for free
• unsubscribing is simple: just email postcards@diybio.org with the request
• First 1000 subscriptions for physical postcards are free or until we run out of funding; digital copies will always be freely available at this page
• We may or may not be able to ship internationally, depending on demand and costs – we’ll do our best

Email postcards@diybio.org for more info.

* if you really want to avoid using twitter, you can submit updates (including link to photo of work) in the comments below
