Was just checking out our friends at the Foresight Institute and came upon this information…
“The Open Science Summit on July 29-31 in Berkeley is looking better and better.
Topics include OpenPCR, DIY biology, open source hardware, brain preservation, synthetic biology, gene patents, open data, open access journals, reputation engines, crowd-funding and microfinance for science, citizen science, biohacking, open source biodefense, cure entrepreneurs, open source drug discovery, patent pools, tech transfer, and much more.
Here’s some advance media coverage:

If you can’t attend in person, watch the webcast live at:

Put it on your calendar now! Or we’ll hope to see you in person, especially for the session where Christine Peterson is speaking: “Safety and Security Concerns, Open Source Biodefense” at 5:15 PM on Friday. “

It’s been one week since our exploratory meeting and we have one more week to try and meet the initial $1750 iGEM Registration deadline. As of the moment we seem to be running into a few hitch’s with institutional supports. NSF funding usually requires much more planning, and the Howard County Community College has denied the request to become involved in the competition as far as offering access to facilities and/or funding. We look forward to hearing from any Biotech Start-ups, Educational Outreach programs or similar Institutions of Learning that would like to partner with us in growing a firm base of operations for Synthetic Biology enthusiasts here in Central Maryland.
We’ve arranged to partner up with Agent You of the WMD preparedness branch of the FBI, to help define reasonable guidelines for safety and security protocols in the field of SynBio and DIY-Bio community science. With a little more feedback, we can begin to plot out a series of workshops and activities to prepare us for the fun to come.

I hope someone’s able to watch the webcast. I expect they’ll leave the feed up so we can review it later. It’s only in D.C. as well, maybe one of you could make it.
How synthetic biology is changing the way we look at biological threats
March 11 2010, 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m
-Light refreshments available at 3 PM
-5th Floor Conference Room
-Woodrow Wilson Center
Luckily I had the fortune of getting out of work a few minutes early so I could catch this. It was a nice presentation. I have been in contact with Agent You, and he has offered to work in tandem with our community as it develops to ensure clean lines of communication and proper education on areas of safety and security. Agent You works in tandem with Piers from iGEM and both are involved with Biological Weapons and WMD conventions.
