Workshop participants were invited to come over to UCSF afterwards and get their hands on.

Discussed in the Progress report (2022).

Earlier: Recombinant DNA experiment (2017)

Later: CCC talk (2023)

The dream: The communal science lab

Collaboration with the Douglas Lab is ongoing. Shawn calls it a “career-long project”.

Making of.
