Hi Yall,
CSQ was the result of the conversation we had about a need for a DIYbio magazine about a year ago. However, as with most community projects, there was lots of verbal support at the beginning but it's kinda waned. So If anyone's interested in contributing (especially if you can commit to do so regularly), please shoot me an email.
We are also looking for a new managing editor, if you've any experience in that area.
P.s. If anyones curious why its CSQ and not DIYbio or garage bio magazine, I explain that in the first issue (attached; If google groups lets me..It didn't email me direct if you'd like a copy or if you're feeling supportive).

CSQ is starving for content, just so y'all know.

I'm serious. Submit stuff.On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 2:11 PM, Derek <derekja@gmail.com> wrote:BTW. I've been using the http://garagebio.org website for a podcast series that I've unfortunately lost momentum on. I don't have the time to help too much to organize a magazine effort, but I'm happy to repurpose part of the website if Garage Bio is still the naming that feels right.
