DIYBIO conference May 10-12 . 2017 http://citizensciences.net/biofabbing/
Call for papers, deadline nov. 7. Do send all your good papers, presentations and ideas. (Support for students.) I am sure you can ask for feedback on ideas through this list. We invite participants to present their work on DIYbio around (but not limited to) the following themes: the politics of pharmaceutical innovation; the transformations in intellectual property rights; the refashioning of the scientist’s public image; the critical BioDesign perspective, the new voices in technofeminism, the democratization of science and citizen science; the role of DIYbio in science education; the competition/collaboration with academic biology. 2016-09-28 16:08 GMT+02:00 Gabriela Sanchez <[email protected]>: > Dear all, > > > We are organizing a conference on critical studies of DIYbio and > biohacking, Spring 2017 in Switzerland.

Strasser at the University of Geneva, and the > Horizon2020 Doing-It-Together Science <http://togetherscience.eu/> > (DITOs) project, focuses on bringing together individuals from the social > sciences, humanities, life sciences, biohacking, DIYbio, and BioDesign to > share their critical insights and perspectives about the politics, > meanings, and possible futures of DIYbio. Since the emergence of the DIYbio > movement more than a decade ago, DIYbio has undergone profound > transformations. DIYbio laboratories have opened in the Global South, some > have entered into partnerships with the pharmaceutical industry, and others > have become recognized institutions for science education. The DIYbio > movement has been a space of revolutionary and conservative experimentation > about how to connect the life sciences and society, challenging established > modes of research (particularly sharing practices), embracing > (bio)technological solutions (particularly genetic engineering) to social > and environmental problems, and redefining the very meaning of innovation, > with potentially far-reaching consequences on research practices, research > funding, and expectations about research outcomes in academia and beyond. > > > We invite participants to present their work on DIYbio around (but not > limited to) the following themes: the politics of pharmaceutical > innovation; the transformations in intellectual property rights; the > refashioning of the scientist’s public image; the critical BioDesign > perspective, the new voices in technofeminism, the democratization of > science and citizen science; the role of DIYbio in science education; the > competition/collaboration with academic biology. > > > We welcome proposals of all formats, from classic talks, presentation of > (mixed) media, to interdisciplinary workshops, roundtables and panels. The > standard time allotted for each session is 30 min with at least 10-15 min > for discussion (if you need more time, please ask).
