In the past, we may have used "Do-It-Yourself Biology" to describe hobbies for people who liked nature. Perhaps that's still true, but a new group of enthusiasts has appeared on the scene. Raised on gel electrophoresis and high-school labs with GFP-cloning kits, this generation wants a more hands-on approach. They're not content with yesterday's pursuits like bird watching, ant farming, and germinating seeds in a glass dish. Nor are they strictly biologists; many DIYbio members, as they're known, are engineers and programmers, and they're determined to do biology in a new way and change the world.
