We're super excited to announce our Keynote Speaker: Ramy Kim!
Ramy is an Oakland-based environmental health scientist-activist, organizer, and educator who works on biohacking and science outreach for public collaboration and knowledge-sharing. She currently works on strategy with the worldwide collaborators of Open Insulin for the equitable development of an open source insulin protocol and drug distribution, intended for the Commons.
As president of Counter Culture Labs, she focuses on how to actively make community and DIY biology inclusive for all. Her environmental justice projects involve place-based participatory understanding of open civic data, air quality, and lead contamination rooted in citizen science. She recently completed her fellowship for Pathways to Equity, a design leadership program by the Open Architecture Collaborative and devotes time as a Code for America National Advisory Council member.
To slow down, Ramy enjoys gardening and scheming for better post-capitalist futures.
