Yes! We intentionally left "bio" out of the name, because we do want to be more general than that. We have people playing around with acoustics and optics, there's a Tesla coil and Geiger counter under construction, and I would love to play with some low-melt alloys. Plus there's tons of hardware hacking as well - especially repairing old or building new lab equipment.

It's probably fair to say that Bio is our main focus, but it's definitely not the only thing we do.

Come check us out this Sunday at the East Bay Mini Maker Faire, if you get a chance:

We'll be issuing and stamping our own version of Mitch Altman's Hackerspace Passports as well.

Part of our motto is "Experiment with friends!" :-)

Yes, very tongue-in-cheek. If I remember correctly, in one of the videos Eri says something like "I experimented a little in college, but it never really went anywhere". :-D
