I am part of DIYBio in the Boston Area. I learned about OpenWetWare from iGEM-related stuff, and I've joined set up safety pages at http://openwetware.org/wiki/DIYbio/FAQ/Safety.
Standard Bio
Charlie Schick is currently Senior Web Producer for Children's Hospital Trust, the fundraising arm of Children's Hospital Boston. In addition to media production, especially videos, he is leading the Trust's engagement with patients families, advocates, and donors through online social networking services. Prior to that, as Editor-in-Chief, he built and ran Nokia Conversations. His career at Nokia also includes kick-starting Ovi.com, launching Nokia Lifeblog and the Series 60 Platform, and providing Internet strategy consulting throughout the company. Prior to joining Nokia, he was an editorial consultant for various online and print publications. In addition to having written numerous articles for online and print telecom publications, he has written various research papers in leading journals and co-authored a book on advanced phone systems. One of his dark secrets is that he spent 12 years in basic Molecular and Cellular Biology research, reaching the level of Research Fellow and Instructor at Children's Hospital Boston, part of the Harvard Medical School. He has a graduate degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
His public personal site is at http://www.molecularist.com/lifeblog.
