This channel is dedicated to passionate self-learners who are on a mission to better themselves and the world through the learning and sharing of knowledge in the field of diybio, science and genetic engineering. By creating a supportive and encouraging community, we can overcome the challenges keeping us from pursuing our passion to learn the practical skills necessary to create a balanced, harmonious and informed society. After fifteen years as a self-taught software engineer, this channel will document my journey to teach myself genetic engineering. The way forward is sure to be full of triumphs and heartaches. I hope by sharing my own journey it will motivate and inspire others to follow their own dreams and overcome the barriers that are preventing them full actualizing their tremendous potential.
