Subject: Do it yourself biology
From: Jonano <>

Founded by Mackenzie Cowell & Jason Bobe,[1] DIYbio is a network[2] of
individuals from around the globe that aims to help make biology a
worthwhile pursuit for citizen scientists, amateur biologists, and
do-it-yourself biological engineers who value openness and safety.[3]
Participants call themselves "bio-hackers'"not hackers in the sense of
infiltrating protected places and stealing information, but hackers in
the sense of taking things apart and putting them back together in a
new, better way.[4] These bio-hackers often have mundane day jobs and
pursue biology in their free time.
