- Mike: DIY bio
- MIke's been looking at DIYbio projects
- There is a new kit called "Genomikon" that allows DNA hacking of bacteria with minimial equipment
- Kit is $395, plus we would need an incubator, a fridge, and pipetters
- Are people excited about this idea? Objections?...attendees seemed supportive.

- Jon--$30?

- Mike may do a "2nd Tuesday" talk about DIYbio
- Dave B, from webcam: may be doing a circuits talk soon.
