Ask a Biosafety Expert

Outreach, education, and good, practical biosafety advice
http://ask.diybio.org
Some of the questions so far…
How can I tell if the bacteria that
I’m growing on agar plates in my
room are toxic?
How should I dispose of my
bacterial plates if I don’t have
access to an autoclave?
How can I make bioart pieces with
embedded non-pathogenic
bacteria safe to sell to the public?
Real Opportunities for
Biosafety Professionals
• Movement is growing rapidly, but is still
relatively small
• An opportunity to build in safety culture
from the earliest stages
• Challenging questions, new technology,
new contexts, new types of clients, open
access resources
Call for Volunteers
please join our expert advisory board
•Required training and experience
–
–
–
–

All levels
RBP and CBSP highly desirable
Different roles for different levels of training,
experience, certification
Need diverse mix of domain expertise

•Minimum volunteer commitments
–
–
–

respond to 1 question per month
Monthly 1 hour conference call
~5 hours per month

•About the Organization
