I think it would be interesting if biohacker spaces got together and each bought a -20 freezer for redundant storage of cultures from other biohacker labs. Not only would it allow for everyone to keep their cultures safe from a freezer malfunction, but the other labs also get free strains to use in their research. Win-win all around

Agreed. Counter Culture Labs has a -40 freezer, which could be a great resource for something like this. We also have a centrifugal evaporator system available that we could use to lyophilize strains for room temperature storage and transport. Maybe we should apply for a grant from ASM to set up a little DIYbio culture collection...
