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.
