Correct me if I'm wrong, but up until now the only options for a transhumanist to translate their knowledge, skills and interests have been to (A) get a job in a relevant field, (B) work independently, or (C) join a small institute with a very narrow remit. Broader, explicitly transhumanist groups have seemed to exist only for discussing the latest developments and ideological tropes. Maybe, just maybe, we are seeing the emergence of a fourth option for networked, concrete work.<br>
