  1. From Homebrew Computers to Biohacking: Innovators of Two Generations

    Techonomy article drawing parallels between the 1975 Homebrew Computer Club and 2013's biohackers — arguing that community-lab biology is following the same trajectory as garage computing, with similar democratization dynamics.

  2. BamH1.com: Bleeding Edge Bio/Tech News for Nerds

    BamH1.com — a 'bleeding edge bio/tech news for nerds' aggregator site. The name is a molecular biology pun: BamHI is a restriction enzyme from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, used ubiquitously in cloning. A niche but well-positioned site for the biohacker/biotech audience.

  3. DIY Bioprinter Lets Wannabe Scientists Build Structures From Living Cells

    Wired's coverage of a DIY bioprinter at BioCurious, the Sunnyvale community biology lab — a modified inkjet that deposits living cells to build tissue-like structures. A 2013 glimpse of the Maker movement crossing into synthetic biology.

  4. DIY Bioprinter: CD Drives + Arduino + Inkshield at BioCurious

    A tweet from @PatrikD showing a DIY bioprinter built from two old CD drives, an Arduino, and an Inkshield at BioCurious. A snapshot of the early DIY biology movement using salvaged hardware to replicate lab-grade biotechnology.

  5. Chronic Buckyball Administration Doubles Rat Lifespan

    Coverage of the Baati et al. 2012 study finding that C60 fullerene dissolved in olive oil nearly doubled rat lifespan. Sparked major excitement in longevity and biohacking communities, though replication and human applicability remain uncertain.
