Hi Johnny,
I had the exact same problem when I was in school! There is a cure to this problem but it involves sacrifice, determination, and commitment. I could go on and on about all of my "opinions" etc... but my conclusion is that the best way to get into this exciting field is to get yourself on an iGem team, repeat all iGem experiments both with a computer simulation and with real lab procedures. Never take no for an answer and kick trash upon mediocrity!

Hey, my name is Jonny Scott. I love science and I even have a facebook page called Jonny Science although its not that popular yet. So basically, I'm wanting advice on how to get started. I consider myself an inventor tho I've never actually made anything except my 3d printer which had instructions but I have all these ideas. I love trying to think of ways to solve everyday problems like how to make ethanol cheaper as a fuel source or building a home sized nuclear power plant or a nuclear car. One thing I want to do is try to create a genetically engineered bacteria that expels O2. So where do I start? How can I start genetic engineering at home or how do I make a lab. I'm a dirt poor DIY with only $400 to my name but I want to take steps to change the world somehow. Maybe make myself a superhuman on the way somehow. I found this group through biohacking on youtube which seemed fascinating. Theirs a guy who can rip phone books and bend cast iron featured on stan lee's superhumans. Wouldn't genetic manipulations be able to give everyone such strength? There's just so much I want to know in this world, so much I want to do and I dont know how to begin. College isn't getting me anywhere. Its just not fast enough for teaching me what I want to know. I had to spend an entire semester learning Ohms law in a class as a prerequisite for pre-engineering. How lame is that? Anyway, any advice is welcome such as ways to build a chemistry kit on a shoestring budget or how to do genetic experiments. I just have a thirst for knowledge so tell me anything thats cool or useful please. --
