Since exozyme is first and foremost a community, we have a number of community events.
Voice calls
Starting 2024-09-22, we have weekly voice calls on Saturdays 15:00 UTC at https://jitsi2.mit.edu/xy. Everyone is welcome to join!
exozine
We have a monthly magazine called exozine. We usually coordinate writing the monthly issues at the beginning of each month on Matrix, so please come help out!
April Fools
In 2023, we were acquired by Google.
In 2024, the exozyme homepage was blank and we also had a survey with questions like "preferred text editor" and "favorite Unicode character".
Hackathons
We sometimes host hackathons on Matrix where we work on programming projects, collaborate with others, talk about CS and coding, or just hang out and chill.
