Well, the post-move dust is finally settled and we're just about done cleaning up that dust, so I'd like to announce the Super Official Grand (Re-)Opening of the LA Biohackers Lab. The LAB Lab, if you will.
When: Sunday March 17, 2013
Where: 1340 E 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90013 (map: http://goo.gl/maps/JykuW)
When: 1 PM
I'd also like to use this as an opportunity to mention that LA Biohackers are the first non-university affiliated educational "franchise" of the Build-A-Genome course created at Johns Hopkins University. This NSF funded project is looking to completely synthesize a significantly redesigned genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, more commonly known as brewer's or baker's yeast. Although normally taught to advanced undergraduates and early graduate students, we will be offering the class and the opportunity to directly contribute to a major scientific project along side prestigious universities. Adapting the course to a group that may have minimal existing biology background will be a process, but it's one that I know I am definitely looking forward to.
Further information on the Build-A-Genome course and the Sc2.0 project is available here: http://syntheticyeast.org/
