Visiting La Paillasse (Paris)
After the Day 1 at HTC 2015 – members from London Biohackspace stopped by at La Paillasse – a community lab located in the centre of Paris. They had a huge lounge, lab section, porch and even a textile workshop. It was very inspiring to have an opportunity to visit La Paillasse – Thank you! I just decided to dance @LaPaillasse – Really cool space! #inspiring #biohacking #Paris pic.twitter.com/lbt3UWjD8J — Lena Asai (@LenaAsai) June 25, 2015

Hackarium
We had an opportunity to visit Hackarium, located in Lausanne, Switzerland back in June. Hackarium was founded in 2014 – a fairly new community lab. We had the opportunity to interact with the biohackers at Hackarium and we potentially working together on the beer project. Their “Beer Decoded: the 1000 Beer Genome Project” recently got funded on Kickstarter (http://tinyurl.com/p9sqdsx). Good luck on the project and looking forward to future collaborations!

Members from London Biohackspace had an opportunity to attend SynBioBeta London on April 22nd – 23rd, 2015. Over the two days we had an opportunity to meet biohackers, researchers and designers. A lot of interesting dialogue going on! On the first day of the conference, we invited few of the attendees back to the hackspace (Tomas from La Pallas, Justin Parala from Synbiota and Cathal Garvey from IndieBio). Thank you SynBioBeta!
