Examining issues associated with people, activities, outcomes, and governance, we observe that biohacker spaces offer an alternative approach to biotechnological research outside the orthodox walls of academia, industry, and government. We explain that harnessing the full innovative potential of these spaces depends on flexible legal and regulatory systems, including appropriate biosafety regulations and intellectual property policies and practices, and organic, community-based social and financial networking. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 8 %P 27-37 %8 02/2018 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1137 %N 2 %1 University of Ottawa Jeremy de Beer is a Full Professor at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law, Common Law Section, where he is a member of the Centre for Law, Technology, and Society.

However, it is argued that most contracts are social rather than legal in nature and are entered into because the parties trust each other to perform the agreed exchange. Little has been written to address how the blockchain’s trust protocol can enable the kind of social contracting that characterized the way exchanges were conducted before the Internet. This article aims to fill that gap by exploring blockchain-based smart contracts primarily as non-contractual social exchanges. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 7 %P 14-21 %8 10/2017 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1110 %N 10 %1 University of Technology Sydney Philippa (Pip) Ryan is a Barrister and Lecturer in the Faculty of Law at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia. Her PhD reclassified the liability of third parties to a breach of trust. Her current research explores contracts and trustless relationships enabled by blockchain technology. Pip designed and coordinates legal technology subjects and in conjunction with the UTS Connected Intelligence Centre, she is developing writing analysis software to improve students’ self-assessments. She is on the industry advisory board of the Australian Digital Commerce Association, she is the Deputy Chair of the Australian Computer Society’s Blockchain Technical Committee, and she is a member of the Standards Australia Blockchain Technical Committee. %R http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1110
