This business is no longer a DIY lab.

Per Melissa Draeger, VP Operations, TheLab Inc.:

We stopped teaching classes and hosting public events in 2018. We have transitioned to being a start up incubator. Please visit our website for details about the current services and lab rentals that we offer.

When asked about alternative resources, she replied:

Unfortunately I do not know of any resources in the LA area for adults outside of university programs.

It's unfortunate but I think it's important to remove the listing because it highlights that Los Angeles zero DIY community biology labs and little other resources / classes available to the general public.

Hi this is a good point and we discussed the need for a system to verify the activity of entries on the site in #286. Until we decide a specific solution I don't want to manually edit the entry myself. Thanks for your input!
