On Tuesday, Madison shows how to extract DNA, (among other things), and Sunnyvale continues their Quantum Salinity Detector project.
On Wednesday, Oakland continues their Open Insulin project, as well as continuing their fun fermentations.
On Thursday, Camden will be burning some QR code onto light-sensitive bacteria, as well as discussing other things, Sunnyvale continues its bioprinter project, and Sydney has a panel discussion on The Global Biohack Revolution, featuring a panel consisting of Meow-Ludo, Andrew Gray, JJ Hastings, Oron Catts, and Ellen Jorgensen.

To see when the next event is in your area, check the full list of usual suspects. Don’t see one near you? Why not have your own and get it posted here? Tell us about it by emailing events@diybio.org. It would be great to post some photos of your event somewhere. We’d love to see them. We do have some guidelines for what is posted, and are not capturing every event within the community.
Here are your DIYbio events for the remainder of the week.
On Monday, Minneapolis has local chemist Dan B show and test out some biochemistry card games in the making, and Oakland teaches people to use free online tools to design and visualize DNA constructs as part of their Biohacking Academy.
