Our first public event is on Wednesday, August 9th at 7 PM. We’ll be meeting at the Empirical Brewery Taproom, close to the corner of Foster and Ravenswood (see the embedded map below). Join us to discuss the DIY Bio movement, “biohacking,” and the potential for a community biology lab in the Chicagoland area! After a short introductory talk, we’ll be extracting DNA from fruits using barely-legal 190-proof alcohol and opening to the floor to discussion.
