BioCoder is a quarterly newsletter for DIYbio, synthetic bio, and anything related. Youâ??ll discover:

  • Articles about interesting projects and experiments, such as the glowing plant
  • Articles about tools, both those you buy and those you build
  • Visits to DIYbio laboratories
  • Profiles of key people in the community
  • Announcements of events and other items of interest
  • Safety pointers and tips about good laboratory practice
  • Anything thatâ??s interesting or useful: you tell us!

And BioCoder is free (for the time being), unless you want a dead-tree version. Weâ??d like BioCoder to become self supporting (maybe even profitable), but weâ??ll worry about that after weâ??ve got a few issues under our belt.

If youâ??d like to contribute, send email to [email protected]. Tell us what youâ??d like to do, and weâ??ll get you started.
