public participation in science and engineering.
Many people on this list will be there, many of them giving talks and workshops.
You can see a preliminary list of workshops at http://outlawbiology.net/
If you are coming and want to participate in the workshops, but
haven't gotten in touch with me, please do so
And please circulate the information below.
Can't wait to see you there... ck

Brief description
A symposium exploring new forms of public participation in biological
research, raising questions and cultivating ideas about how life could
and should be studied. Panelists will address issues including
do-it-yourself biology, open source science, at home medical genetics,
bio-art, and novel ethical engagements with science at the cutting
edge. Event schedule includes: Friday, a panelist discussion with
artists, scientists and normal people; Saturday, workshops and an
open-house exhibition throughout.
Citizen Science | DIY Biology | Nano Hacking | At-Home Clinical
Research | Recreational Genetics | Synthetic Biology | Open Source
Science | Ars Synthetica | Genetic Art
The life sciences are alive with possibility—and not only in the
laboratories of universities and boardrooms of pharmaceutical
companies. Cheap and easy to use technologies, massive amounts of
publicly available data, dynamic collaborative possibilities, changing
hopes for old problems and beautiful new things for making—all these
are arrayed around the life sciences. But does Big Bio still set the
agenda? Just past the frontiers of law and order biology, a handful of
outsiders, ranging from gentlemen scientists and visionaries to
bio-artists and designers to high school students and hackers are
tinkering with life as they find it and inviting you, the public, to
participate.
On Friday, symposium panelists invite you to learn about
do-it-yourself biology, open source science, at home medical genetics,
bio-art and DNA chemistry, citizen science and novel ethical
engagements with science at the cutting edge. On Saturday, an
exhibition and workshop open to the public will offer participants
hands-on lessons, discussions, and demonstrations of creative,
scientific, practical and impractical ideas.
Open to the Public. Please RSVP at outlawbiology.net

I'm based in LA and thought it might be nice to have a regular meet up
somewhere either in LA, SF or San Diego.
Is anyone interested? Feel free to respond to the group or email me
directly if you might be able to make it?

Have you tried the diybiosf peeps?

I'm going to be out of town the weekend of the Outlaw symposium but
I'd be happy to meet up any other time. I'm in Pasadena.

Bio, if people want to meet on Saturday the 30th to discuss a local
grouping... who wants to be in charge of the meeting?

LA group for a while too. I'm with the Art|Sci center at UCLA and can
act as the point person for the Outlaw Bio meeting. Perhaps then we
can talk more about the scope/frequency of a regular gathering.

Thanks for the great replies
Brian - thanks for the group link, I checked it out and looked good.
Marnia - I'll look forward to meeting up with you and the other SF
DIYBiotecher's
Corie/Christopher/Romie - we should definitely set up a regular local
LA biotech meet up, I'm based in Pasadena so I'd be pretty open to
meeting up anywhere between here and the beaches.
I'll send you all FB invites too.
Best,
Ryan
