Do-it-yourself biology

DIY biology, also known as biohacking, is a movement where individuals conduct biological experiments and research outside traditional academic and industrial settings. It leverages the increasing accessibility of scientific tools and knowledge, allowing enthusiasts to explore genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and other forms of biological experimentation in home labs or community labs known as biohacker spaces. This movement primarily attracts hobbyists, citizen scientists, and those interested in democratizing science and innovation.
