HiveBio is "Seattle's first citizen science laboratory open to scientists and non-scientists to carry out scientific projects and research, as well as offering public workshops and classes with real practical hands-on science classes," Sara, who works there, told us.
HiveBio Community Lab was founded just last year by Bergen McMurray and Katriona Guthrie-Honea. McMurray, a scientist who "had been involved in DIY culture for many years and was interested in founding a biolab space wherein fellow citizen scientists could share resources, build community, and explore biosciences" Sara said.
The mission of HiveBio is showing that science is fun and accessible to everyone, providing access to the equipment and lab space necessary to carry out biosicences research and exploration, and supporting a community of individuals interested in science, with an eye to the idea that greater diversity creates more innovation.
Sara said that "the people who seem to enjoy our classes the most are interested in the topic, and want to explore it in a new way, with a new group of people."
