Los Angeles DIYbio Mission Statement
Found a publically accessible biological laboratoratory to act as a physical and informational resource for the community on the techniques to safely experiment and play
Conduct outreach to attract others outside our field: artists, kids, “the curious”
So what is the price of one of these things ordinarily?
What, labs? A mighty fortune! Establishing a lab is incredibly expensive, due largely to ridiculous prices on even rudimentary equipment. And, because the equipment was bought for ludicrous prices, even the second-hand market tends to be pretty expensive.
Establishing a lab on the cheap is difficult. I know because I’m trying. I wish the LA team the best of luck!
