Hi there, read the article and came on over after a friend of mine pointed me this way... once, many years ago [in '88] I graduated with a degree in molecular genetics myself, and promptly found myself unemployable as the industry here in the uk suffered a downturn in the wake of a whole slew of regulations introduced by good folks afraid of a 'Frankenstein bug' ...
Anyway, it's never really occurred to be that one could 'biohack' like you're doing... I mean, sure, I've often thought what I could do with a few thousand and some second-hand lab gear... but doing it ghetto style like you are... nah. [the trick with the ziplocs being a case in point] I guess that's the fault of having an excess of resources at Uni.
I'm guessing that's why you're using yoghurt bacterium, cheap and available, right?
Incidentally, is there a guide to biohacking, or compendium of tips? The FAQ's are useful, but a novice like myself needs someplace to start.
