I scanned through the site and their first post was in 2015 and has news articles posted about the company with titles like: "The Community Labs Built on Silicon Valley’s Junk: Trash from biotech startups are citizen scientists’ treasure" and "The Rogue Experimenters". Also, lots of posts about wanting interns. This doesn't give me a good feeling.

I mentioned diet and lifestyle because that's how I manage my otherwise insanely expensive and debilitating condition and did so that way even while homeless. If you are genuinely concerned about the health and finances of poor people, finding a way to educate people about diet and lifestyle strikes me as at least part and parcel if what you ought to be doing and as a generally superior approach. One reason medicine is highly regulated is because screwing it up with unsanitary practices can maim or kill people. * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27854041 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27854041
