I do some synthetic biology as a hobby - genetically engineered a baker’s yeast to produce grape aroma and then baked bread with it, and gave it to like 100 people at an event I was at.

Also do a few others - learned Esperanto (exclusively through listening and speaking with people), beekeeping, woodworking, etc.

Perhaps feeding strangers homemade GMOs isn't the best idea...
do you have any writeups or resources on that yeast?
wow I didn't realize this was hobby territory. How accessible is it to a layperson?
