With respect to 'A set of challenges for home chemists', I believe one of the largest challenges is the increasing scientific ignorance in the general
U.S. population and even what I have witnessed in the secondary school system (high school chemistry is no longer taught in even some of the more
affluent counties).
A home chemist could very well be sentenced to life imprisonment for manipulating dihydrogen oxide from a jury of said ignoramuses.
That is a challenge!
