On Tuesday, Amsterdam changes the venue of their Open Wetlab to Red Light Pet Shop pop-up location to explore their bio bank,  Brooklyn has Oliver Medvedik, Ph.D. and Ellen Jorgensen Ph.D. teaching a course on designing guide RNAs for use in CRISPR, Buenos Aires, has a discussion by Gabriela Munguia on “bioimpresion” as an intersection of biology, 3-D printing, and art, Madison has a talk by Joshua Hyman on DNA sequencing, and Sunnyvale continues its plant bio research and quantum salinity detector projects.

On Wednesday, Amsterdam has a workshop exploring the superfood potential of their algae “pets”,  Lausanne/Ranens has a various projects and organizations sharing their work,  Oakland continues with their fun fermentation and Open Insulin projects, and Sydney continues with their ethylene biosensor iGEM project.

On Thursday, Buenos Aires hosts Pablo de Soto to talk about all sorts of things involving international hactivism and drones, including citizen science radiation mapping, and Sunnyvale continues their bioprinter project.

On Friday Singapore meets to share some improvised lab equipment and experiments, and Sunnyvale continues discussions about biohacking and climate change.

Finally, on Saturday Baltimore has Lisa Schifele Ph.D.  teaching the Build-a-Gene series of courses, which include an introduction to CRISPR/ Cas9, Brooklyn has Oliver Medvedik, Ph.D.beginning a lab series on gene editing using CRISPR/ Cas9 (there is a prerequisite), and has Moira Williams  conducting a workshop on making art from mushrooms and lichen, Oakland continues their evolved bacterial sunscreen project, in collaboration with Sunnyvale.  Also on Saturday, Seattle has an introduction to light microscopy,  and Sunnyvale begins a 3- session in-depth lab and lecture series on CRISPR/ Cas9.
