[DIYbio] Bio Academy - How to Grow (Almost) Anything 2018

How to Grow (Almost) Anything (HTGAA, http://bio.academany.org/) is a distributed Synthetic Biology Program directed by George Church, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and taught by a diverse group of faculty (http://bio.academany.org/faculty.html). HTGAA is a part of the growing Academy of (almost) Anything, or the academany.

Bio Academy offers education on the implications and applications of synthetic biology (http://bio.academany.org/classes.html). The 2018 HTGAA Program starts in September and global lectures happen on Wednesdays at 9:00 AM EST - lasting for approximately 3 hours. Students from around the world connect online to participate. During the classes, professors from diverse Universities and companies both present and explain the content of the class, and also review the work of the students.  Students are expected to complete assignments at their local lab (http://bio.academany.org/labs.html). These lectures and assignments are designed to give students a broad understanding of, and wet bench experience in, the field of synthetic biology.
