Baltimore, Maryland - February 27, 2016: Beth Tuck, left, from Bethesda, a science educator the National Institute of Health, specializing in genomics education & community engagement, participants in the fifth and final Molecular Biotechnology Bootcamp class at The Baltimore Under Ground Science Space -- BUGSS -- create bio-art as a way to learn about bacterial communication. Dr. Sarah Laun, right, from Baltimore, is the BUGSS lab & program manager and is leading the class.

The new CRISPR-Cas9 technology is causing worry among mainstream scientists that the burgeoning DIY Biology scene, like BUGSS, might be cavalier with things like ethics and lab safety. Proponents of DIY Biology spaces say they make strides to implement a “culture of responsibility.”
