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 week.  On Sunday, Brooklyn has its Biotechnology Crash Course, and Oakland continues work on Open Insulin.  On Monday, San Francisco has micropitches, London has a biodesign conference, and Vancouver discusses democratized science, including some biology topics.  On Tuesday Brooklyn has an introductory workshop on CRISPR/ CAS9, a prerequisite to a full hands-on lab course coming soon.   On Wednesday, Chicago has a social featuring Dr Heather Wheeler, discussing genomic prediction of complex traits, and Montreal has their March meeting, featuring various talks on bioinformatics.  On Thursday, Cambridge meets to discuss their the building of a new makespace.  On Friday, Austin has a booth at SXSW Create, and Baltimore has a lightning talk competition with the audience as judges.  On Saturday, Austin has  CRISPR/CAS9 and Collaborative Biohacking presentations, Cambridge invites you to help demonstrate open hardware at the Cambridge Science Festival, Charlottesville has a kids workshop on marine microbes, and Seattle has a full day workshop on Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials worth some college credits.
