The BioBricks Foundation works to ensure that the engineering of biology is conducted in an open and ethical manner to benefit all people and the planet. The Studio is working with BBF to build a network of websites devoted to open-source synthetic biology.
Building upon Nicolas Myers’ gorgeous design comps that defined the organization’s new branding, we developed and re-launched the main BioBricks Foundation website through WordPress MultiSite. Our work also included customizing BBF’s Twitter and YouTube pages to match the new design.
Next, we launched the website for SB5.0, the Fifth International Meeting on Synthetic Biology, which took place at Stanford University in June 2011. The site includes our customized implementation of the Event Espresso plugin for online event registration. Our work on the site helped sell out the conference.
We recently launched the website for the BioBrick™ Public Agreement. This groundbreaking legal framework, inspired by the Creative Commons, will encourage members of the scientific/engineering community to contribute standard biological parts to the public domain, using tools built by Jeff Brock Studio.
We also do monthly maintenance work on OpenWetWare.org, a top resource for scientists worldwide to contribute information about their work in synthetic biology, using MediaWiki.
