04. Do It Yourself Garage Biologists
What it Is:
Internet, peer-to-peer networking, the co-creative social Web (2.0, 3.0 etcetera,) they all point into the same direction: Knowledge moves more freely than ever to anyone who wants to work with it. Think the hackers of the virtual world. Think all the iPhone applications we create. But also think: Do It Yourself Garage Biologists. They are new right now. But maybe future progress in bio-sciences and genetics will come from students spending nights in their garages, enabled by home-labs and bio-tools bought at E-bay. Do it yourself biotechnology is now happening and encouraged by organizations like DIY Bio, like Gingko, specialised in affordable science toolkits. And by contests like i09 Mad Science. Of course You Tube is into this as well.
