I am an aspiring amateur biologist currently building a home lab in Guadalajara Mexico. My interest in plants spans back as long as I can remember when I was young and planted all the kitchen leftovers. I am a firm believer in the potential of genetic engineering to make plants that better suit our needs, and as a way to educate ourselves and others about the living world. I also believe in genetic engineering as a form of art and a source of joy, and making plants for the sake of happiness.
