In what ways can the current biology community benefit and be expanded by cost-effective and easier ways to gain access to information and materials?

Started Jan. 25, 2022

Abstract or project description

The new emergence of the DIY Bio, or "Biohacking" movement has allowed many people to enter the field of Biology from the comfort of their homes, without expensive equipment and tools. The prevalence of this movement has inspired us to contribute a piece of our own to the movement: by setting up a community of biohackers who start from the same basic experiment, then deviate into their own niches. By using a networking app like Twitter and a blog on a website such as Squarespace, we can allow this community to coordinate and share their findings and results with each other.
