The journalist forgot to pose the most important questions:
Why have private individuals been forced to initiate science labs in their homes or in commercially leased spaces when significant tax payer dollars in the U.S. are already spent on high schools, libraries, and community colleges to support "public education"? Why do high school labs and community college labs remain off-limits to individuals wanting to educate themselves or perform basic experiments as a hobby? Why aren't individuals able to affiliate themselves, for example, with high school labs, to perform off-hours or weekend lab work when these labs are under-utilized? What would it or does it take to open up already publicly-funded spaces for use by individual experimenters (i.e. hackers, makers, and biohackers) ?

Check it out - Megan Scudellari did a wonderful job covering the developing world of DIYbio labs, including BioCurious, Genspace, BOSSlab, LA Biohackers, BUGSS, and more. It's been a while since I've since such a good overview of the field. So much win!
Biology Hacklabs
Fueled by donations, sweat, and occasional dumpster diving, community laboratories for DIY biologists are cropping up around the country.
