Biohackers & FDA - Call to Action

At Bodyhacking Con there was discussion about the Josiah Zayner & David Ishee chat on Biohackers and the FDA. In particular the biohacking - DIY Bio community is pushing back against the FDA proposed regulation "Intentionally Altered Genomic DNA in Animals".  This is a starting point for regulation into our community and we should be working together to obtain the best outcome.

Please watch the video: and take action:

Other things we can do:
  • Raise awareness and support through media 
  • Write a blog post about the conflict the DIY Bio part of our community is experiencing
  • Make/go on a podcast about this issue
  • Interview someone in the DIY Bio community and publish it 
  • Social media posts (I know, I know but it is a factor)
  • Reach out to your DIY Bio contacts and see what they need, let the rest of us know if there is more we can do to help
