This issue belongs to the DIY Science Network: Connecting and supporting initiatives that engage with science from a grassroots, non-institutional position: diybio community labs, civic environmental monitoring projects, patient activism groups, bioart collectives, interdisciplinary science hacking communities...

Our network and our content could really use a home! We’d like to work on developing a DIY Science github page. If you have design or github/jekyll development skills we’d love to hear from you.

Design wishes

‘DIY Science’ is a broad term that includes any initiative that tries to engage with science from a grassroots, non-institutional position: diybio community labs, civic environmental monitoring projects, patient activism groups, bioart collectives, interdisciplinary science hacking communities etc.
Since we are quite diverse it might be better to come up with a typography-based design rather than using any specific scientific symbols... but we're open to suggestions. Here are some examples of initiatives we are connected with:

• https://www.hackteria.org/
• https://diybio.org/
• http://lapaillasse.org/
• http://sciencehackday.org/
• https://publiclab.org/
• http://www.hackuarium.ch/
• http://reagentlab.org/
• https://www.bento.bio/

We plan to use the site not only to connect with the DIY Science community, but also to reach policy-makers - so it should be fairly grown-up without being overly formal (think OKF, Mozfest...).
