Third BioHack Academy graduates

[Pieter]

Last night the third BioHack Academy came to a spectacular end. Over 20 participants presented their work via live stream, ranging from memory-evoking skin patches to DIY algae reactors and from encoding Japanese traditional sake songs in yeast DNA to cellulose haute couture. In just 10 weeks groups in Albuquerque (USA), Tokyo (Japan), Kolding (Denmark), Belgrade (Serbia) and Amsterdam (The Netherlands) simultaneously developed open source lab tools and used those to develop their own projects. For those of you who were not able to join the live stream, we'll upload the recordings soon to www.vimeo.com/channels/bha3 

The goal of the BHA is to create a network of people that like to share their biological tools, methods and outcomes. 

Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackacademy/

Documentation sites of the participants can be found here: http://biohackacademy.github.io/bha3/participants/documentation/ (much still in development)

This Saturday there will be an expo in Kolding (Denmark): https://www.facebook.com/biohackKolding/

On May 28th the outcomes of the group in Tokyo will be presented: http://www.bioclub.org we'll setup a live stream too

The next edition will start on Jan 31st 2017. So in case you are interested in starting up a group, and would like to run it in sync with all the groups across the globe, please contact bio...@waag.org.
