There is the bio-maker movement, sometimes called biolabs, that puts fairly elaborate biotech in the hands of unaffiliated researchers and hobbyists. I wouldn't be surprised to see homebrew CRISPR at science fairs in the near future. https://www.meetup.com/denverbiolabs/

Indeed. And the thing I linked to (the odin) does allow you to do CRISPR in your living room for $150, as I said in my original comment.

That's a good point; community labs and bio makerspaces have great potential to help make this more accessible to us lay people!
