Here are your DIYbio events for the week. On Monday, Brooklyn starts a 4-day series for their Biohacker Bootcamp, Cambridge has talks on plant derived compounds for low cost medicine by Thomas Meany and engineering plant morphology by Mihails Delmans, and Oakland continues its work on the synthetic biology to create Real Vegan Cheese. On Tuesday, Amsterdam will have its Genetic Modification for Dummies workshop. On Wednesday Albany will have a talk by Jerry A. Carlson about the health of New York’s forests, Amsterdam has an Art of Impact workshop where they are creatively on the hunt for DIY antibiotics, hosted by artists Mike Thompson, Susana Camara Leret, Špela Petrič and biohacker Pieter van Boheemen, Baltimore has Whitney Webre hosting a talk and tasting on the science of coffee, San Diego has a workshop on the science of cheese hosted by Mary MacDonald, PhD, and Vancouver will have a discussion of DNA barcoding technique applied to microorganisms in kombucha scobys. On Thursday, Ljubljana has their BeerDecoded beer tasting, DNA extraction and brainstorming session, with introductions by the project’s director Gianpaolo Rando to progress on the funded kickstarter project to map the DNA of beers (space is very limited, and you need to email kristijan.tkalec@biotehna.org to get in), and Oakland begins another round of its biohacking bootcamp sessions. On Friday, Vancouver has a mead pouring, where you can learn about the process of making honey wine.

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 week. On Sunday, Bethesda has a booth in Reston showing cheek cell DNA extraction and a brain-to-computer interface, Oakland has their Biohacking Academy Lab, and continues with their Open Insulin project. On Monday, Austin has hands on synthetic biology, Cambridge has several teams pitching for OpenPlant fund grants, and Sunnyvale continues their work on a surface plasmon resonance salinity detector. On Tuesday, Amsterdam continues work on several interesting projects, Austin has a biohacker meetup and a panel discussion that includes biotech perspectives to the cannibus industry, Brooklyn has an introductory course to CRISPR/CAS9, Cambridge has Rebecca Batorsky speaking on mitochondrial variants, Madrid has a lab-on-a-chip conference (microfluidics), and Vancouver has a mead pouring where you can learn about the process of making honey wine. On Wednesday Madrid continues its lab-on-a-chip conference, Oakland continues their fun fermentations, Sunnyvale continues its work on a fluorescence microscope, and Vancouver has an open lab night featuring a historical and philosophical discussion of immunology and contemporary medicine. On Thursday, Boston has a conference on tissue engineering, biofabrication, and 3-D bioprinting, Denver will do some PCR work and have artist Daisy Patton talk about her bacterial photography experiments, Oakland starts another round of their biohacking bootcamp, San Diego has Dr. Cassianno Carromeu talking about the use of pluripotent stem cells in the study of neurological disorders, and San Francisco has a panel of a new cohort of food and biomaterials companies. On Friday, Boston continues its tissue engineering, biofabrication, and 3-D bioprinting conference, North York continues video lectures on Understanding Genetics: DNA, Genes, and their Real-World Applications, Vancouver has a workshop on restriction enzymes, and Washington, DC has a lecture on genetically modified livestock. On Saturday, Albany has a discussion “What is DIYbio and What Can I Do With It?”, Charlottesville has a cloning workshop, Minneapolis will be building Electroencephalographs using Arduino microcontrollers, Oakland continues its evolved bacterial sunscreen project, San Diego has a green fluorescent protein transformation workshop, and Seattle has a workshop on the science of lotions, led by Dr Reitha Weeks.
