[DIYbio] Re: Democratizing Science - What can we do?

No regulations in the US regarding genetic modification at home. Alot of companies sell CRISPR kits and as far as I can tell there is no licensing agreement occurring.

Thanks for the advice but kindly, I will not listen to it. One cannot do whatever they want in academia, they can only do whatever the people who are paying them or giving them grants or publishing them, want. It is not so much about having attention as it is accomplishing things and building things.

Question: what about regulations? It seems that you need special clearance to work with GM. Are you going to be in legal trouble for selling CRISPR kit?
Advice: Do not leave academia. You can do everything that you want to do there and people will pay more attention if you have a nice title (aim for tenure).

Regarding the GM, I think the main problem is not GM but our lack of knowledge and instrumentation to monitor and control living organisms. When we are able to measure and understand cells/organisms in real time in a big organism (means measure all important expression proteins at desired points inside the body) and develop a method to control them, then the fear will diminish.  So 50-100 years.
