It's finally here! The biosafety handbook was written by and for the DIYbio community after a multi-year tour of community laboratories and interviews. Thanks to the hard work of many in the community, it is ready to launch. This "living" 18 chapter handbook is intended to grow alongside the community and will need the community's help to survive. This active participation workshop will discuss the contents of the biosafety handbook, form a biosafety handbook committee which will take ownership of the handbook, help decide where it "lives", and manage future updates. As well as begin to make valuable changes and additions to the handbook based on regional differences in laws/regulations. Please join the authors to discuss the contents and how you can help make sure this valuable resource is able to live and grow with the community.

Workshop facilitators: Angela Armendariz (Genspace), Jenny Molloy (BiomakeSpace), Eric Harness( Biocurious), Patrik D'haeseleer (Counter Culture Labs), Daniel Grushkin (Biodesign Challenge), Todd Kuiken (NC State University)
