2024: "Please don't learn to bioreact."

I'm assuming that there will be some short-hand verb for messing about with genetic organisms, and/or for home-synthesis of biological compounds. "Please don't learn to modify genomes" or "Please don't learn to synthesize chemical compounds" didn't feel pithy enough.

"Biohack" is pretty common - although that term also means, e.g, implanting magnets in your fingers.
