BioCamp Houston is now just one month away! BioCamp is based on the BarCamp concept that has taken off in popularity among the IT crowd. It’s an “unconference.” There are no agendas or invited speakers. If you want to present something, you simply volunteer the morning of the conference by choosing a time and a room. We expect that there will be people who present on biotech entrepreneurship, open source biology, the future of scientific publishing, biofuels, etc. I’m even going down to NASA on Friday to see if I can recruit some rocket scientists to present something about space life sciences.
BioCamp Houston will be the last of three days of bio-related festivities in Houston, which begin with a happy hour at the Caroline Collective on Thursday night, the BioHouston Chili Cook-off on Friday, and BioCamp on Saturday. Valhalla will be open Saturday afternoon so you can cap off the event with a relaxing beer in the shade of an oak tree.
Please go to biocamp.ning.com to register.
We hope to see you all there!
BioCamp Happy Hour: Thurs., Apr. 2 at 6pm at Caroline Collective.
BioHouston Chili Cook-Off: Fri., Apr. 3 at noon at BioHouston
BioCamp Houston: Sat., Apr. 4 from 9am-4pm at 100 Keck Hall, Rice University.
