DESCRIPTION
JANUARY 2018 TECH SOCIAL - BIOTECHNOLOGY - CRISPR GENE EDITING AND BACTERIA

*****CO-HOSTED BY THE PIEDMONT HIGH SCHOOL BIOTECHNOLOGY CLUB *****

Please join us for a Tech social on Friday, January 19th at 6:30 pm in the Ellen Driscoll Theater.

Do you know what bacteria is growing on your phone? What about on your fingers? Come to the Piedmont Makers Tech Social on January 19 at 6:30pm to do a cool experiment and find out the answers to those questions as well as listen to Dr. Kevin Doxzen, a scientist at the Integrative Genomics Institute who worked in the lab that discovered CRISPR gene editing, tell us about CRISPR and his experiences as a pioneer in biotechnology.

PREPARING YOURSELF

If you have a fun biotech experiment running (mold in your lunchbox???) please feel free to bring to share. Otherwise, just bring your phone and fingers! We will have all other materials for the experiment. Of course, there will be social time with your tech friends, a pizza dinner, milk, and cookies for only $5! As usual, bring whatever else you’d like to share!

Please contact the organizers with questions. Registration in advance is strongly advised to allow for us to order enough food!

No, this is for all ages. This is not a drop-off event - please have an adult loosely associated with any attendee under the age of 13..

Dinner will be pizza from Lanesplitter, with water and milk also provided. If you want to bring your own water bottle, so much the better. There will be a cookie break during the self-organizing pod session.

What is the refund policy?

We understand that plans change, particularly with families! However, the majority of our costs are sunk immediately (facility and equipment rental), so while we are happy to refund your fee up to 24 hrs in advance of the event, please consider making it a donation instead.
