Here are your DIYbio events for the remainder of the week. On Monday Brooklyn invites you to do some DNA barcoding, and it is the deadline to apply for a genomics and medical informatics hackathon happening in August in Bethesda.  On Tuesday, Madison has an introductory meeting, and Sunnyvale continues work on their surface plasmon resonance quantum salinity detector. On Wednesday, Dublin has a talk/video on epigenetics, Columbus meets with Erin Monaco to discuss citizen science collaborations, Montreal  meets to brainstorm before a hackathon, Oakland continues their fun fermentation work, as well as their Open Insulin project, and Sunnyvale continues building their fluorescing microscope.  Also on Wednesday Dubrovnik starts their Science Underground Academy.  On Thursday, Baltimore has a lesson on gel electrophoresis, Cambridge continues to plan their biomakespace, Denver carries out DNA isolation and sequencing practice while doing some amplification of the MTHFR gene, Hong Kong has an introductory talk about iGEM, Sunnyvale continues their bioprinter project, and Toronto continues their study of Herron & Freeman’s Evolutionary Analysis.  On Friday, Baltimore has discussions about urban beekeeping and the bee microbiome, with mead makers, beekeepers, and Eli McComb,  one Montreal group will be working on a hackathon, and another Montreal group will be doing a biohackathon.  On Saturday, Sunnyvale conducts their metabolic engineering class.
