Hi, there. I'm looking for communities for bio hackers to share our knowledges.
I'd like to exchange our opinions, experiments and everything about bio hacking.

Do you know them?

Define biohackers. .
It's a term that can describe a lot of different types of people's.
Example grinders or transhumanists

Thanks for your reply.
I'm interested in all biohackers, especially DIY biohackers.

This list likely represents the largest collection on the internet.  If you're looking for people near where you live, I have no idea.

Hi Yuto,

This google group is the main resource for communication with a talented group with a lot of depth. Here is a list of locations with biohacker spaces  
http://diybio.org/local/  Check out IGEM.org for a team that may let you assist at a university near you.  Check out http://openwetware.org/wiki/Main_Page   And finally a promising free course that starts today.

Hi, Roninlaw.

Thank you for your reply.
I've enrolled that edX class today, thanks!

I'm planning to create new community for them right now.

I created a slack group for biohackers today to communicate more.

I hope we can exchange our knowledge interactively.

Slack is a walled garden. Hip, but not suitable for a free community in my opinion.

We already have IRC for chat (though I do wish there were more user-friendly federated chat options), and email for discussion.

Reddit is a pretty good hub for threaded discussion, also: being open source, it wouldn't be hard to mograte if things went badly, so it's OK that it's centralised for now.

Could you tell me that IRC chat? I'd like to use it.

No one ever talks much in Freenode.net's #diybio... but there is a lot
of daily activity in ##hplusroadmap... the discussion centers around
all topics that will propel humanity forwards, and biotech/diybio is a
very large part of these discussions, though other topics often go
into electronics, computers/algorithms, economics/policy,
medicine/nutrition. Nothing is really off-topic unless it is obviously
non-productive.
