[DIYbio] Re: DIYbio in Heidelberg, Germany

Probably the book was intended for the general public, who doesn't have knowledge of what a "biology" is at all.

Are there no books about biotech laws? I guess most biologists are not interested in all the laws (just need to know the ones that directly affect them), and most lawyers don't care for biology either.

Hi,

Actually I have an academic background and a PhD in biology, but I am a great supporter of the DIYbio philosophy.
I believe biotechnology should be available to everyone and I think that DIYbio can also do a lot to improve the actual system in academy that is driven by novelty at all costs, funding wars and publish-or-perish. I think these things are causing scientists to lose more and more from their view two important aspects about science: doing it for the love of knowledge and doing it for the people, and DIYbio can help to bring this back.

I am looking for other DIYbio enthusiasts in the Heidelberg area. I am not aware of any DIYbio community here, and in this case I would seriously consider the idea to found one. Heidelberg is a great place for it, there are many biology research institution and this attracts lots of students interested in biotechnology. There are many scientific-related events such as science slams. Morevoer, there is also a very successful iGEM team.

If anyone is interested in this, please don't hesitate to contact me.
