LifeCycle | Creation: DIY Biology

Around the world, maker spaces are placing the latest biological and genetic technologies into the hands of amateur scientists. From engineering new types of cheese or homemade insulin to tinkering with bioluminescent algae, citizen science initiatives are bringing laboratory science to the world, unleashing new forms of creativity and experimentation.

Explore the world of DIY science from the organic spirit of the petri dish. Bring an original idea - practical, outrageous, provocative - to spark conversations about how to re-imagine the human body. Together, we’ll discover what emerges when we connect the Global Hackteria Network to a Bay Area ecosystems of scientists, artists, makers, and researchers.
