Here are your DIYbio events for the week.  On Sunday, Los Angeles features Ilaria Mazzoleni and Lola Dompe giving talks and leading audience participation on their work on interrelationships between the natural and built environment,  biodesign, art, materials, and pigments, while Oakland continues its Open Insulin and coursework on protein purification.  On Monday Oakland and Sunnyvale continue their Real Vegan Cheese project. On Tuesday, Cambridge uses R code to show several packages for the analysis of RNA-seq data, comparing different tools, while Sunnyvale continues its work on a quantum salinity detector, and has an open house for its Plant Bio Research Group.  On Wednesday, Oakland continues its fun fermentation work and Open Insulin project, San Francisco has a discussion on the DIYbio movement with Mac Cowell, Sunnyvale continues its efforts on a fluorescence microscope, and Toronto has a discussion of hybrid art/science work, featuring Nicole Clouston and Jasmine Alkin.  On Thursday, Cambridge continues their biomakespace planning, Oakland continues its fungal cultivation, and Sunnyvale continues its bioprinter project.  On Friday, Sunnyvale has a discussion of climate change and biotechnology.  On Saturday, Amsterdam invites you to hack biotic gaming designs,  Brooklyn features a bioinformatics workshop guided by Elizabeth Hénaff where bacterial species are determined from metagenomic datasets from your favorite subway, Cambridge will have Zeeshan Ali and Richard Hopper discuss chemical sensing, and later you can help  build an open source desktop spectrometer.  Also on Saturday, Minneapolis will be participating in a hackathon with their algae bloom monitoring droid while San Diego helps put on a crime scene science workshop.
