Interested in becoming a member? Come check us out during one of our regularly scheduled meet-ups – all our events listed on Meetup are open to non-members. Our biohacker lab zoom meetings every Wednesday from 7-9pm, are especially recommended for new folks who just want to come check out the lab and meet some of our community.

Sponsored Membership
We have a limited number of sponsored memberships available at reduced rates for those people who we feel would be a great addition to our community, but cannot afford our regular membership rate.
4. Next Steps
Every new membership is on a trial basis for the first 30 days. The 30 day period starts once the Membership Agreement is signed and membership fee is paid. During this 30 day trial, the new member is required to attend two Counter Culture Lab zoom events scheduled on Meetup.com. At any point during this time any member can block a new member from becoming a full member. All new members will need to take our online safety quiz (email safety@counterculturelabs.org to get a link!) before being able to work in the wetlab. And new members who don't have prior wetlab experience will need to schedule some time with an existing CCL member to get them up to speed and make sure they can work safely in the lab. Once the 30 day trial is over, an existing CCL member will need to vouch for the new member, at one of our zoom working meetings, or by sending an email to cultlabsboard@googlegroups.com. The new member will be notified via email about their full member status. When this status is granted, the full member will have access to a locker and 24/7 building access as COVID permits. Full vaccination is required for access to CCL, and mask wearing is required at all times inside the Omni building.
