DIYbio is an organization for the ever expanding community of citizen scientists and DIY biological engineers that value openness & responsibility. DIYbio aims to be an “Institution for the Amateur” — an umbrella organization that provides some of the same resources afforded by more traditional institutions like academia and industry, such as access to a community of experts, to technical literature and other resources, to responsible oversight for health and safety, and an interface between the community and the public at large.
Check out diybio.org and, if you’re in the Boston area, drop by our meetup next week! Read Jason Bobe’s summary of the first meeting at the DIYbio blog, and keep an eye on the DIYbio mailing list for details.
A little while back, I resigned from my position at VistaPrint to take a great opportunity at thoughtbot, inc in downtown Boston. I’ll be starting with them on Monday, June 9, and am super excited to join their small and dynamic team. Initially, I’ll be working on tools for the Nature Publishing Group like Nature Network.
I got to hang out with some of the team at RailsConf, see some top-secret Tee-Bot designs, go on some exciting Portland excursions and adventures, and I might have even learned a little Ruby or Rails along the way.
