Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Do-It-Yourself Biology

Stage B , Saturday 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Are you the type who looks at a stack of 2x4s and sees a bench? Or you look at a pile of resistors and a breadboard and see something more than just components? We feel the same way about biology. DIYbio is an organization that aims to help make biology a worthwhile pursuit for citizen scientists, amateur biologists, and DIY biological engineers who value openness and safety.

Location: Expo Hall 288

Do you dream of engineering biofuels, creating new species as pets, and exploring your genome? We represent the San Francisco DIYbio (do it yourself biology) group!

Learn about what's making backyard biology a reality! Plus, see our genetically modified cells that grow green and DNA visualized with gel electrophoresis.
