Diy bio in Moscow or Sofia? / and advices from the wise community to a newbie:) Nice to meet you!

[Sky Adriana]

Hello diy monsters:) Nice to meet you! My name is Adriana, a software engineer and recently I came across a series of ted talks about your hobby/work. After seeing that bio tech is the future I decided to learn as much as I can about it and of course, to get involved practically with it. The level of awesomeness of what you are doing is too high for me not to try and somehow contact you.

I enjoy two topics the most: the idea to make a nano robot and to make self-assembling nano structures.

As somebody previously noted under the review of Roger Penrose's "A guide to reality..", a serious science book is not "The adventures of Duffy Duck in Quantum Physics".

As biology is not my specialty and I love to read, would you recommend me a list of books and recources which I can learn from? If they are opensourced that would be more accessible to me.

Also, do you know somebody from Moscow, Russia who is doing diy bio? Is there a community here?

Is there anyone from Bulgaria around?

Thank you

Hi! well I guess it would be adviceable to read something about plasmids, restriction enzymes and PCR first. should be plenty on the internet.

Hello, Sky Adriana! I am from Moskow, and i recommended you schoolbook on general biology, physiology and cytology. Schoolbook is easy! After- student reading.

Studying genetic, molecular biology and over. The last step- manual for PCR, gel-electrophoresis, etc.

Hi from Kiev.

Basically, what Forest said. Check out the biology faculties at the
local universities - they are likely to have good school bio/chemistry
review books intended for the entrants. Also, Khan Academy.
And make sure to watch EdX closely - they should have the awesome
7.00x course again this fall, and it's two magnitudes better then an
average MOOC, so there's just no excuse not to take it.
