Report on Myths and Realities of DIYBio

[Pieter]

Any here who attend the event or read the report?

I guess many people on this list are among the 359 respondents.

Since most of the respondents are from North America, many of the outcomes should be interpreted in that regional framework. For example, with over 40% indicating to work with GMOs, I suspect this report would have a much different undertone in Europe.

This year Maker Faire UK was the first Maker Faire to feature a major DIYbio Zone. We’re now pleased to announce that Maker Faire UK, returns on 26^th and 27^th of April at the Centre for Life in Newcastle, and we’re now recruiting Makers to take part. last year we drew 300 Makers and over 10,000 visitors over the two days, from as far away as California and Japan, and we aim to top that this year.

 

We already have the legendary Philip K. Dick Android lined up as one of our headliners, his first UK appearance, and we’re adding music, food, heavy industry and young maker zones to the faire this year. We are though, hoping for a big DIYbio presence again this time so we’d love to have you on board
