An example of this includes biohackers searching for a new and more affordable way to manufacture insulin.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional scientific research that often gains funding from large organizations like hospitals, universities, and the government, biohacking experiments often take place in small labs with bootstrapped budgets. Because of this, biohackers often have a lot more flexibility during their experiments.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about biohacking in this week\u2019s episode of Tech-x-planations.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1Wq6gwm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1Wq6gwm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Connect with Singularity University:<br \/>\nWebsite: <a href=\"http:\/\/su.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/su.org<\/a><br \/>\nHub: <a href=\"http:\/\/singularityhub.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/singularityhub.com<\/a><br \/>\nFacebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/singularityu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/singularityu<\/a><br \/>\nTwitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/singularityu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/singularityu<\/a><br \/>\nLinkedin: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/singularity-university\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/singularity-university<\/a><\/p>\n<p>About Singularity University:<br \/>\nSingularity University is a benefit corporation headquartered at NASA\u2019s research campus in Silicon Valley.
