Here are your DIYbo events for this week.  On Monday, Oakland is having a meeting of the Vegan Cheese Team, Toronto is having a discussion on the recent paper CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in human tripronuclear zygotes, that has made a rather large splash.  On Thursday Brooklyn hosts a talk by John Borghi separating the fact from fiction in modern cutting edge neuroscience.  On Friday, Washington, DC is hosting an interview of some shifty guy.  On Saturday in Baltimore Michael Weirzbicki leads a 5-day intensive course on engineering bacteria to produce fine banana scented isoamyl acetate, as an introduction to introduce bacterial chemical production, and Oakland and Sunnyvale are in San Mateo for a Maker Faire.

Here are videos from Baltimore’s Bioprinting Breakout event on April 25.  I was there.  It was a blast!

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 is your summary of weekly DIYbio related events, around the world.  On Sunday, in Brussels,  Meridith might be hosting a meeting of biohackers.  Email her for details.  In Paris there is an ocean hackathon.  On Monday, Edmonton might have a synthetic biology workshop.  On Wednesday, Brussels is having some talks by Jonathan Ferooz, Carlos Peña, Martina Francesca Ferracane, and Tom Van Oudenaarden, Denver holds a workshop on how to look critically at published biologic papers, with the example of aging, and Moscow is taking a trip to the Polytech Lab. On Thursday, Berkeley is having a protocol hackathon, while enjoying a cocktails, etc, Carlsbad is having some fun with a simplified fluorescence microscope, Denver has Martin Borscht Jensen speaking on the Biology of Aging, and Toronto is doing some directed evolution of bacteria.

Here is your summary of weekly DIYbio related events, around the world.  On Tuesday Amsterdam is having a ceremony for the graduates of the BioHack Academy, where participants will present their work on building a fully functioning lab -microscopes, centrifuges, handmade spectrometers, and incubators—all with materials commonly found at home.  On Wednesday, Charlottesville talks about the rising tide of synthetic biology, on their way to forming a new biohackerspace,  London hosts the Synbiobeta two-day event, Oakland has a panel discussion moderated by Kevin Connelly of EII, featuring Miyoko Schinner, Shane and Marie, and Ben Rupert on how to make vegan cheese delectable,  and Seattle holds a sourdough bread fermentation workshop.  On Thursday, Synbiobeta continues in London.  On Saturday, Baltimore introduces artists, makers, and the public to 3-D tissue engineering, including bio-printing, with talks and hands-on demonstrations by pioneers and experts, including  Sebastian Cocioba, Axel Guenther, David Kolesky, Ritu Raman, and Anderson Ta.    Bethesda celebrates DNA day, while doing some planning, and messing around with diy cell phone microscopes, while Nicole McNeil shares a little bit about spectral karyotyping and FISH techniques, and Seattle has eyeball dissection guided by Anna McCann.
