Revision as of 09:52, 24 February 2017

Welcome to the wiki of Hackuarium community.

At Hackuarium, we want to bring biology (and biologists) to the world, and the real world back to biology. Our laboratory is an excuse to meet and discuss, build and develop ideas in a neutral, open, noncompetitive and not-for-profit environment.

Cliquez ici pour accéder à la version française de ce wiki.

This page was launched during our 1st Ever Hackuarium Wiki Sprint that took place on 7 December 2014. As you might notice quickly, it is a work-in-progress.

Scroll down and find out what this is all about!


DIY Bio

What is DIYbio?

DIYbio (Do-It-Yourself biology) is a movement that wants to free the practice of biological research and innovation from the institutional and industrial laboratories. Pursued both by amateurs and professional biologists, DIYbio is developing low-cost and low-tech solutions to problems identified by the community.

The movement is characterised by an extremely diverse set of practices and participants. Some call themselves 'biohackers', in reference to the hacker culture.

DIYbio.org and DIYbio.eu are the portals of the international and european communities, respectively.

For more information, visit the Wikipedia page dedicated to DIYbio.

Hackuarium

Hackuarium is a not-for-profit association aiming at democratizing science through public engagement.

Our laboratory in Renens (Switzerland) is open to anyone sharing the values of the association and who is dedicated to follow the DIYbio Europe ethical guidelines.

Our projects are initiated and carried out by scientists as well as non-scientists from a variety of background. They are passionate about tinkering with biology in particular, and technology in general. Some are engineers, architects, designers, IT and computer scientists or retired professionals, but others have no scientific education. They are mostly citizens interested in open and participatory research and innovation, outside the contrains of traditional institutions.

Hackuarium members want to investigate new ways of carrying out interdisciplinary research and innovation, by making their results accessible (low-cost), simple and easily reproducible (low-tech) and by promoting an open source philosophy.

Hackuarium is proudly using infrastructures provided by UniverCité, an unconventional innovation hub opened in May 2014. Our equipment is mostly upcycled material from institutions and industries from western Switzerland.

Who we are

Renens is a hopping hub - and our members reflect the diversity that is in and around Lausanne/Renens.
Check us out, and find out what makes Hackuarium a good mix.

Committee

The current committee is composed of the following people:

The Agenda of the last board meeting can be found here.

Members and Membership

Hackuarium operates on a membership basis at this current time.

The monthly membership fee is 20 CHF. It gives 24/7 access to the lab.

Please ask a member of the board if you want to join as a member.

All events are open to anyone, including non-members.

    Hackuarium is one of the association active at UniverCité, an innovation space under construction since May 2014 in the IRL building in Renens. We have documented our working environment as it has evolved.
    As of December 2015, UniverCité regroups a laboratory, a workshop and co-working space.

    Projects

    Here, you will find the projects going on in the Hackuarium.

    Active Projects

    Archived Projects



    Practical Informations

    Following this link you will find a general plan of Hackuarium.
    Following this link, you will find the plan of Hackuarium with the position of equipment.

    Rules at Hackuarium

    This page describe the code of conduct for Hackuarium members.


    Create an Event!

    Wiki express for EVENT organisation:

    • Want to organise an event with particulars/companies/universities/your grandpapa and mama????

    Talk to Juliette Davenne juliette@univercite.ch for checking if the space is free AND Talk to the community, to spread the word (not for permission) —> slack UC Events (best) and/or board board@hackuarium.ch
    Go for it!

    • Is it a WORKSHOP?? All the previousTalk ALSO to Marie Lou marielou.ravet@gmail.com for the workshop scheduling, she is doing the "dirty job" of scheduling everything nicely and communicate it to the whole community at UC.
    • Is there a SIMILAR workshop ALREADY planned? If yes, negotiate dates and: Do you target the SAME people? If yes, negotiate. If not, no problem. Maybe interesting to see what others do.
    • Go for it! and spread the love for tech, science, art and design.


    Protocols

    All the protocols that we use at Hackuarium can be found here They are detailed and structured so that the main focus is on applications. The idea is to give crucial information on how to apply the most common techniques of the Biology toolbox. The protocols are structured as follow:

  • A scheme describing each
  • A brief description of the protocol and its use
  • A description of the different ways of carrying out the protocol. Ideally there should be a description of a commercial kit and a DIY kit.
  • A description of the safety issues and best practice
  • Information specific to Hackuarium and where to find the components, tools and reagents.
  • Instruments available

    This page describes all the instruments available at Hackuarium (work in progress..), their location and how to use them.

    Up-to-date list of instruments we still need

    This on-line document contains all the instruments, tools and consumables we are looking for. Our standard donation contract (French) Contrat_de_donation. If your organisation happen to discard a piece of equipment we are (or may be) looking for, contact us!

    Where we shop

    Wetware

    Consumables can be purchased from Huber Lab.

    Swiss-based Smiples has a very extensive listing of second hand laboratory and technical items. These can be bought from their online shop or from Ricardo.

    Hardware

    Options for electronic parts

    How to built a new project page on our Wiki
