DIYbio SwabFest

Bio Hacking in Manchester

Title: DIYbio SwabFest
Location: MadLab
Description: Come along to the Manchester DIYbio SwabFest on Wednesday 4th of May and help us build the Manchester Microbe Map!
Start Time: 18:00
Date: 2011-05-04
End Time: 19:00

Get to the Madlab at 6pm for a brief introduction, before setting out to explore the streets in search of Mancunian bacteria. Samples collected, there’ll be a session at the Madlab where we’ll store and label our microbes followed by the Swabfest after-party with drinks and (hopefully) the finest bacterially-themed music the internet has to offer.

We are looking to show our results during FutureEverything conference, on May the 13th
http://futureeverything.org/conference-3/sessions/diybio-at-futureeverything/

If you haven’t already, please join our DIYBIO MCR Group , where we will discuss the results and future meet- ups. Or follow DIYBio on Twitter.

Get involved in the #swabfest!
