''The SFSU Conceptual Information Art Department has courses on Biology and Art. Members affiliated with SudoRoom, BioCurious have expressed in terest in pursuing this idea further. This is a temporary placeholder.'' | |||
''Example course from SFSU: Art & Biology Whether the cycles of life act as an inspiration or are actually incorporated into your art-making process, the study of biology can be a hotbed of novel visions. In this course we will attempt to reinvent the concepts and practices of biology in an artistic context. Possibilities may include: playing with microbes and microscopes, studying embryonic development, visiting laboratories and discussing recent advances in molecular biology. Living art projects will be encouraged.'' | |||

Our aim is to liberate biotech from academic and commercial labs and as such we're developing the basic tool kit to allow people to do real biotech, to take a gene and add it to a bacteria colony. Our aim is to create a full tool kit that will allow everyone to innovate, these tools currently include: | Our aim is to liberate biotech from academic and commercial labs and as such we're developing the basic tool kit to allow people to do real biotech, to take a gene and add it to a bacteria colony.

:We believe scientists should be open to discussion around research experiments, data interpretation, and project directions. To foster a spirit of openness and understanding, no decision will be made without 100% consensus. | :We believe scientists should be open to discussion around research experiments, data interpretation, and project directions.

''We believe in asking (and answering) questions'': | |||
:'''Science is a ''quest''ion'''. Our social quest is the pursuit of knowledge. We are not approaching this project with the hope of making money. We want to collectively answer questions and serve our communities. We will stand in solidarity against anyone who chooses to co-opt or privatize any portion of this project. All knowledge must be '''free''' and '''accessible'''! | :'''Science is a ''quest''ion'''. Our social quest is the pursuit of knowledge.
