Event Tomorrow: Technebiotics
This event looks like it might have lots of things of interest to people working on citizen science projects:
Part science fair, part county fair, this interactive afternoon event will feature multiple live demonstrations and do-it-yourself workshops on a wide range of biological techniques and processes. Artists, scientists and educators will demonstrate how to spool DNA, extract and cultivate stem cells, construct a home distiller or a hyrdoponic garden, hybridize plants, and more. See cutting edge laboratory equipment alongside traditional horticultural methods and enjoy hands-on interaction with each display. Technebiotics promotes the intersection of the arts, sciences, and technology in a “DIY” atmosphere, and will bring together expert knowledge and playful experimentation in this afternoon of technical flora and fauna.
It’s being held Friday, November 2, from 2 – 6 pm at the California College of the Arts, 1111 Eighth St, San Francisco. See web site for details.
