Hi All,
What a busy summer we have at the lab. Read more about upcoming events, classes, a call for projects, and upcoming conferences.
-------
Signup now for Metabolic Engineering 4 part Class - http://www.meetup.com/BioCurious/events/231373391/
Saturday is our qPCR event - http://www.meetup.com/BioCurious/events/231705820/
--------
Call For Projects
The Anthropology/Philosophy Group of the Bay Area is launching a series of workshops on anthropology, science, and art. This is a call for projects in a review-and-selection process to select participants for the initial workshop that aims to help develop participants’ ideas into viable “citizen science” or “art and activism” projects. Workshops are led by two anthropologists, Mazyar Lotfalian and Michael Scroggins, along with invited collaborators. Biocurious of Silicon Valley (http://biocurious.org) is graciously sponsoring the initial workshop.
The intellectual impetus for these workshops comes from the emergence of interdisciplinary projects that have used either “citizen science” or “art and activism” to enhance our knowledge about social, environmental, and political processes. In addition, these two interdisciplinary practices draw on democratic traditions of inclusion of non-expert into decision-making and design process.
If you are interested, please email a paragraph to the workshop organizers (mazyar.l...@gmail.com and michaelj...@gmail.com) BY JULY 1st describing your projects. The organizers will give individual attention to your project and select 4-8 projects to form a six-week workshop.
Examples (not exclusively):
Citizen Science: http://www.citizenscientists.com/examples/
Art and Activism: http://www.takepart.com/photos/actipedia-activist-art
