Hi, folks:
I wanted to get in touch with the DIYbio community because there's an initiative going on that I think a lot of folks here may be interested in.
As you might already know, pretty much everybody who programs makes use of StackOverflow, which provides well-curated answers for programming questions, and the rest of the StackExchange network does this for all sorts of other subjects, from math, physics, and chemistry to travel, cooking, and personal finance.
A group of us are now looking to do the same for Synthetic Biology: we think it could use a good, universal database of questions and answers. We've already passed the early stages of defining the site, and now just need to demonstrate a critical mass of people committing to participate in order to get a beta site launched.
I think this is likely to be of particularly great interest for the DIYbio community, due to the strong spirit of information sharing and helping one another that tends to be strong in DIY circles.
If you agree with us that this is a good idea, can you come help make it a reality?
- Sign up at https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/125068/synthetic-biology
- Pass this invitation along to other folks in your community or other communities
- We also have a community-building Slack: people can email me for an invitation
I think this site is going to make a major difference to the synthetic biology community, and I really hope you'll be able to help make it a reality!
Thanks,
-Jake Beal
