>Attempting to modify e-coli with CRISPR in my bathroom

This either sounds like the third sentence uttered in a 911 call, The FBI justification for a lifetime supermax incarceration, or the cause of death and mortality summary on a medical report.




I know the leaders in the DIY bio movement. They've all talked to FBI agents, and the consistent message is: we know you're allowed to do this, thanks for following the law, and by the way, if you see anything, say something (to us).


It made me think, "I wonder if you could modify whatever bacteria is growing in my bathroom to emit a fresh lemon scent, so it would always smell freshly cleaned."
