Freelancing science

Despite all negative associations I still like word “biohacker” and I sympathize with people thinking about all kinds of bioengineering. We have already tools and data to “biohack” in silico (just to mention 17-years old developing model for identyfing cancer patients), while technology for home-based experiments will knock to our doors very soon.

Hackers have already an emblem, which actually I incorporated in the biohacker logo. However, I thought that it would be nice to have our own, just to indicate in which area we “hack” stuff. So, by displaying this logo one would express a sympathy with hackers’ attitide:

1. The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved.
2. No problem should ever have to be solved twice.
   
3. Boredom and drudgery are evil.
   
4. Freedom is good.
5. Attitude is no substitute for competence.

applied to a bioengineering field.

If you like the idea, maybe we can together write “How to become a biohacker” guide?
