You can run an experiment but not be allowed to advertise it except by word of mouth without approval. Then there are quite a few different boards you have to get approval from before you can actually do anything. Human subjects protection, for example, has become a oppressive regulatory regime; biosurety as well.

Human subjects protection, for example, has become a oppressive regulatory regime; biosurety as well. Both of these could be brought to bear quickly against anyone who violates the captive government that serves lawyers best of all. It is much more screwed up than you would have thought.

The first community diy bio lab, located in NYC. In addition to membership, we also host classes and courses teaching everything from making DNA constructs to putting them into bacteria. Here's a video about one such class that Nature filmed: http://www.youtube.com/user/NatureVideoChannel%23p/a/u/1/sr25-Vvcbgs And don’t forget Genspace!
