&gt; I continue to get push back from people who assert that &quot;it is really too hard&quot; to hack biology in a garage, or too expensive, or that garage labs just can&#x27;t be up to snuff.  This sort of dissent usually comes out of National Labs, Ivy League professors, or denizens of the beltway.  All I can say to this is -- Doodz, you need to get out more.<p>Are there any examples of significant biological advances or discoveries from &quot;garage biology&quot; in the years since this article was written?
