Is there any way to safely start a home biology lab?
This sounds completely crazy – I want to start my own home biology lab. I’m terribly interested in biology, and have been self-studying bioinformatics, general / microbiology, and chemistry in my free time. I’ve started out by buying a Thames & Kosmos Chem kit to try to apply what I’ve learned so far, and I’ve noticed there’s also a genetics kit from them as well. However, these kits are obviously made for high school students and younger, and do have limitations. I’m in a position where I do not have the time to attend college at the moment and take classes to get the great experience of doing weekly labs, and I feel that the lab component is direly needed for application of what I’ve been reading. I haven’t found any resources online on how to build such a lab at home (and safely!). There’s this lab manual I recently bought – “Laboratory Experiments in Microbiology by Johnson, Ted R.; Case, Christine L”, but it’s kind of useless since I soon realized I can’t do any of the experiments
