Howdy Everyone!
This is a last-minute reminder about the 1st DIYbio meetup happening
tomorrow evening at 7pm at Asgard's Pub in Central Square.

DIYbio is a nascent community of biological engineers that fosters the
values of openness & responsibility and shares educational resources &
techniques for do-it-yourself biological research and engineering.
 Tomorrow, with your help, we will draft a provisional DIYbio manifesto 
that will shape the long term vision of the organization and the 
attitude of the community.

Provisionally, we want to foster a constructive society of citizen
scientists and build "the Institution for the Amateur" - an umbrella
organization that provides some of the same resources afforded by more
traditional institutions like academia and industry - resources such as
access to a community of experts, to technical literature, to 
responsible oversight for health and safety, and an official interface 
between the community and the public at large.

In addition to forming the long term direction of the group, we will 
present and collect a list of existing experimental resources for 
biological research and engineering, and brainstorm one or two 
collective experiments we as a community could accomplish in the first 
year.

We hope to see you at the discussion tomorrow evening.  Let's build the
future together.

hackfully yours,

Mac Cowell & Jason Bobe
