An essay that was written as part of the Human Practices section of my team’s entry to the iGEM 2009 competition. Specifically in this essay, I cover the then-budding DIYbio movement, where a group of amateur enthusiasts were attempting to hack genetically engineered organisms outside the confines of research laboratories. An interesting topic for exploration!
