@xianc78 I had to grab the odin branded pipettes first because of the comment: > But Stanford University infectious disease expert Dr. David Relman, who co-directs the Center for International Security and Cooperation, has serious concerns.
> Although Relman supports the thoughtful and productive engagement in science by the general public, he strongly opposes Zayner’s method.
> “You can’t simply go into a cockpit and fly a plane,” said Relman. “Likewise, you can’t simply pick up a pipette and do science.”
> Science involves a set of moral and ethical principles, particularly when it comes to animal testing. Handing out frog gene therapy kits for anyone to use is a clear noncompliance with those principles, argues Relman.
