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 Brooklyn begins their Biohacker Boot Camp series, as well their CRISPR/CAS9 course (a prerequisite for hands on lab work) taught by Oliver Medvedik and Ellen Jorgensen, while Tel Aviv has Abba Priev and Zachariah Gershon Astrakhan talking about how they formed their companies specializing in ultrasonics for biotech applications.
