> they're in USA and/or Europe, but I live in China. So I want to know some basic information.

your best bet is https://groups.google.com/group/diybio - there are some people from China and all over the world.

You can find other groups here: http://diyhpl.us/wiki/diybio/groups

Even if you're in high school, you can still join or build your own lab. Don't let school get in the way of your work.

When I visited DIYbio.org, I tried to get in their email list, i.e. group/diybio.. But due to the GFW, I can not see the page. Thus I was so sad.

And thank you for the last line. I do agree what you said, and it's what I think as well.

BTW, it's hard to balance schoolwork with interests, the school doesn't encourage students to discover and do what they really enjoy. I've tried my best, I'm learning Latin as well.
