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

Hey Yuriy,

I'm not certain where you heard that. The remote lab has the supplies to fulfill the course requirements. Part of the course fee goes towards those costs. Since 2017 the labs also receive a distribution from the foundation which contains plasmids (e.g. CRISPR, trans-kingdom conjugation, etc.), oligos for DNA origami and strains. Of course, you have to be near one of the labs to complete the assignments. We are always interested in expanding the labs in the network and if any established labs want to join then they should make contact (http://bio.academany.org/contact.html). BioCurious has signed on as a lab for 2018. The course has been evolving every year and from my perspective it has been improving a lot. I think 2018 will be the best version yet. Everything has bugs when first released. There has been a great group of people dedicated to improving the program and helping to drive the costs down.

Cheers,
Scott

I heard its inaccessible. Unless something changed. 
there is no distribution network if one wants a finer amount of chemicals. You must buy things in bulk basically. 
it will run a DIYbio enthusiast out of liquidity. 

Sweet deal though. You get to claim you were in a project that was designed/directed by George Church.

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. For more information and to signup for the 2018 program see our website:
