Biopunk: DIY Scientists Hack the Software of Life
It is a sign of the times, ad the great strides that science has made, that we are able to show you this book cover. Much as computer scientists of the late 20th century got their start in garages working on projects that were risky and adventurous, garage biologists are starting to crop up all over the United States.
It remains to be seen if projects like this can really get past all of the regulatory hurdles and still yield useful results, but then again, people wondered similar things about the companies that are tech giants today.
The book pictured is full of analysis and journalism on these “biopunks.” Check out a review.
Oh, what the hell. We’ll make it a question. What do you think about this?
