Here are your DIYbio events for the week. On Monday, Baltimore has Claire Fraser speaking on the human gut microbiome in collaborations with the  “culture as medium” series.  On Tuesday, Amsterdam does its projects, Cambridge is helping with a synthetic biology workshop in London, San Diego will be having a lecture called “Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease Using Human Stem Cells” by Dr Jessica Young.  On Wednesday London begins a big 3-day conference, Oakland continues work on their Open Insulin and fermentation projects,  Sunnyvale continues to work on its fluorescence microscope, and Vancouver is going to a panel discussion of the microbiome, moderated by Linda Aylesworth, with Bill Mohn, Brett Finlay, and Deborah Money, MD. On Thursday, London continues the conference, and Somerville attends a microbiome event. On Friday, Buenos Aires has an bioart event of mingling and experimentation with microbial fuel cells, London continues the conference, Sunnyvale has a hands on workshop on engineering bacteria with CRISPR/Cas9, and Seattle is attending a comicon, where founder Bergen McMurray will participate in a discussion about the mutually influential relationship between technology and science fiction.   On Saturday, Bethesda is checking out a space, Brooklyn carries on a intensive 4-session class on CRISPR/Cas9, Buenos Aires is having a meeting on bio-hacking, Cambridge has a conference (bundled ticket price gives a break on the London conference), Oakland has a hands-on workshop on engineering bacteria with CRISPR/Cas9,  Stockholm has a biomakers conference, and Sunnyvale has an event on DNA bar-coding.

Here are your DIYbio events for the week. On Sunday, Bethesda meets to go over their projects, and Oakland continues work on Open Insulin.  On Monday, Austin will be at a discussion by Jacob Ashton on beer and brewing in space, and Sunnyvale continues work on a quantum salinity detector based on surface plasmon resonance.  On Tuesday, Amsterdam goes through their project selection and planning, Austin has Susan Golden speaking on a day in the life of a cyanobacterium, Minneapolis has a low cost equipment workshop, where you can try out gel electrophoresis and a build-your-own spectrometer, Mountain View has Gabriele Scheler speaking on an introduction to mathematical modeling and data science in cell biology, and Somerville has a discussion of a paper about a DNA copying technique that does not require heating-cooling cycles. On Wednesday, Brooklyn has a workshop on design of RNA guides for CRISPR/CAS9, Hertogenbosch has a discussion of the legal and ethical issues of new bio-materials, and Vancouver has a 3D bioprinting demonstration.   On Thursday Brooklyn has a talk by Dr. Niki Athanasiadou on the everyday use of the scientific method, London has talks on complex error detection during genome assembly by Fatima Vayani, and the use of graphs, instead of sequence as reference genomes by Erik Garrison, Melbourne introduces you to their lab with a brainstorming session, Oakland works on the art of science and science of art together with their biohacking bootcamp, and Sunnyvale continues with their bioprinter project.  On Friday, Montreal has their open lab night.  On Saturday Austin has Dr Rhykka Connelly showing home bioreactors for spirulina and chlorella algae, Brooklyn has an electromyography workshop, Cambridge has talks and a workshop on maker applications for wildlife conservation by Tony Nagg (bat detection) and  Mayke de Freitas Santos (drones for spectral detection).  In the workshop, you can help build bat detector boards. Also on Saturday, San Diego has an open lab and a bioinformatics workshop.
