Overview
Who is in charge of the contemporary scientific research topics? Who owns the data from publicly funded university research? Can anybody do biological experiments at home? Can YOU participate in monitoring environmental data, study biodiversity or test for various diseases at home?
We have invited a very interesting group of biohackers, citizen science activitists, bio artists and transhackfeminists to share their experiences and projects happening around the world. They will present their ongoing activities and invite you to join in for a discussion.
