I applaud these DIYers. If there's one thing my PhD stint taught me, it's that the high stakes nature of dead ends in one's science career has forced most scientists to be extremely conservative in what they write grants for. I fully expect the next large advances in biohacking to emerge from people working in their garages and hackerspaces while collaborating online, not from a lab on NSF funding.
