Do-It-Yourself Biology
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2011-03-22/do-it-yourself-biology
Guest Host:
Bruce DePuyt
Far from multimillion dollar labs at universities, an enthusiastic movement of amateur scientists is changing the field of biology. These do-it-yourself explorers are taking experiments from the lab table to their living room tables using only rudimentary equipment and innate curiosity. We look at what's happening in this nascent branch of science, and explore concerns over "biohacking."

I briefly caught a part of the show during a point when there was information on how high schoolers could get involved. Is there a link to this organization for the high school project this summer? My god daughter may be interested in this but I would like to gather more information for her. Thank you, Harriet

Hi, we at Genspace certainly do sponsor high school students interested in learning more about synthetic biology through courses and research programs. Feel free to direct your questions to info at genspace dot org
