if you were to get me in a lab right now, i'd had absolutely zero clue on how to multiply a virus. perhaps i'm old and behind the times.

thing is, i'm not sure about the lab access requirement. i'd expect any number of diy techniques to be functional substitutes. brb, asking chatgpt for more details.

The Thought Emporium[0] on YouTube does homelab DNA editing, grows modified bacteria and viruses, and is currently working on growing human neurons.

I've learned a lot and its very fascinating. I haven't found another maker online doing anything remotely similar. He's like the NileRed for genetic engineering instead of chemistry.
