Week 5: Print, Art and Bio.

This past week I commited to publishing a magazine dedicated to Citizen Science. It's appropriately called The Citizen Science Quarterly and the first print issue goes to the printer Jan 15. The reason behind the magazine is to show people of all ages that science is not something only those with degrees and fancy labs are allowed to do. It's not the best time for print but it's the most affordable way of reaching people who aren't active online.

On thursday, was the weekly DIYbioHou meeting. We recently moved to an amazing warehouse downtown on 2010 commerce st. So there was no "class" today, instead we drew up plans and the budget for the wetlab.

Also this past friday aka yesterday, was the official launch of my art show titled "Brain as Art", it featured an EEG(video of it in EKG mode) a friend and I designed and built plus pieces of art, some artists made that were influenced by the brain. It'll run at the C2 Gallery from now until Jan and I am glad it's over. Artists aren't real big on deadlines which puts a strain on the curator with a deadline.

Total Hours of Service Learning: Print(9) + Art(17) + Bio(8) = 34hrs
