Topic: Updates to "has diybio been in the news" on the FAQ
Bryan Bishop <kanzure at gmail.com> Mar 28 09:46PM -0500 ^

Hey all,

I updated the FAQ a bit today with several new additions to the list of
news/blog articles concerning diybio. These include news articles, blog
posts, including those that do not explicitly reference diybio.org, although
an argument could easily be made for a clean-up eventually. Anyway, here
goes:

The FAQ is currently hosted here:
http://openwetware.org/wiki/DIYbio/FAQ

And this section is over here:
http://openwetware.org/wiki/DIYbio/FAQ#Has_DIYbio_been_in_the_news.3F

I also completely forgot to add in stuff like "Fish Tale Has DNA Hook:
Students Find Bad Labels":
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/22/science/22fish.html
.. and i.e., the Nature Magazine article that I presently forget the name
of.

Anyway, one possible use for this work is to help improve the Wikipedia
article with citations:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIYbio

As you can see, it definitely needs it! One way to easily generate
mediawiki-compatible citations is to use something like zotero, a
firefox-extension that can scrape metadata from article pages (especially on
popular blogs or blogs using standard metadata tags). Then, there's a menu
somewhere deep inside for exporting to mediawiki citation text formats and
plugging into a page on Wikipedia.
