If you can't build your lab, you don't own the lab
People not Infrastructure
- Lab Making | The Book: HackteriaLab 2014 - Yogyakarta, by Urs Gaudenz, Sachiko Hirosue
"Making a Laboratory is both a spontaneous activity and a slow labor of love."
A Lab is a place to labor (not only of love), experiment, research and share - there is no labor, experiment, research or sharing without the people. A Lab is not a museum for journalists, but a place made by a person for other people Start a small Lab , put it in a box, suitcase, backpack, picnic basket and take it with you. A Mobile Lab it actually allows you to go to people, and not wait for the others to come.
- Lab Infrastructure / Equipment
Experiences from setting up the BioTehna Lab Infrastructure. People not equipment. 20% Science 80% Rock'n'Roll.

Thoughts about Infrastructural Hospitality
People putting boxes to make people feel comfortable... like someone running a restaurant, make sure your people are well fed and feel comfortable.
