Addgene recently launched an industrial access program but its very limited in scope and the rules for acceptance are both very strict and vague. Many people outside of academia complained and got their wishes granted...sort of. I still got denied by them even under industrial applications. :P they just dont like me much... Either way the list of available plasmids is very brief. Seems only plasmids that have expired patents on them are available to non-school folks....if you can meet their requirements. This seems silly. If someone wants to do commercial r and d tey should be allowed to do so. By that logic all pharmaciutical companies should have restricted access to medical research. :(

Would this be possible with coursework that was largely online, but
moved to satellite 'training centers', i.e. genspace, biocurious
types, even industrial labs that offer rental space and/or equipment
time?
Simply starting a science 'University' or 'school' in the web ether
could aid the 'satellite' labs that already exist. For instance the
'school' might be able to get accounts with reagent and DNA providers
that don't provide to industry or individuals. (Sebastian's comment
about addGene being mostly academic got me thinking about this)
I think a new school system would be great, one without assignment
deadlines so you can take as long as you need to master an assignment.
