- nurettin 7mo agoYes, but most students produce their best work while infected.
- colechristensen 7mo agoThis is the classic meme https://www.reddit.com/r/labrats/comments/mmv2ig/lab_strains_unite/#lightbox https://www.reddit.com/r/labrats/comments/mmv2ig/lab_strains... Lab strains of things tend to be extremely sensitive and not human adapted. You shouldn't study and modify human-infecting organisms in your basement anyway. While you shouldn't ignore protective equipment and proper procedure... paranoia about infecting yourself with a lab leak isn't warranted.
- _zoltan_ 7mo agoI'd love to experiment with this stuff, just literally have no idea how it would be safe to start.
