2025-08-06 , Misora

Do you have an idea for how you might make the world better with a genetically modified organism, but you hit roadblocks in your project because of regulation, licenses, or biosafety certifications? Well, the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective feels your pain. We have had the same issues, and we would like to show you all the methods we've used to circumvent those roadblocks so that you too can work to cure a disease, create a vaccine, or save a species from extinction.

We are going to show you these methods by detailing two projects, both of which have been in the pipeline for over seven years. One you might have already heard about, the other is a secret that you'll have to show up to see. Stage time allowing, we will also detail how to ""Nonconsentually Open-Source"" existing biotech products with a third concrete example. Let's reclaim the OG meaning of the word BioHacking, and actually manupulate organisms and ecosystems at the molecular level, and leave the world a little better than we found it. Come party.
