I gave a talk last year about #CommunityBio labs and how the lab I'm helping to organize, Biotech Without Borders, fits into that. I adapted the talk from something I had prepared for students at a local community college. It was a great exercise to sharpen my ideas and get some feedback (encouragement and queries) from a different crowd. It was titled:

Community biology as an organizational framework for social change: a perspective from Biotech Without Borders

Ad card for Grove with a abstract, a bio, and a picture of danwchan that reads:

The tools of biotech are increasingly accessible both in terms of price and availability, but organizations that work to make lab infrastructure accessible either charge fees commensurate with initial investment or are exceedingly rare.
