True, at least depending on your definition of "research".

But I don't think the OP's question, or the way I use my own lab, has much to do with research.  When I was an employer I wasn't looking for scientific researchers.  Instead, I was looking for design engineers who weren't afraid to touch a soldering iron or an oscilloscope, and were familiar with real-world practices.  A home lab can help demonstrate that.  More importantly, a home lab suggests that the person has a true enthusiasm and knack for the field -- those are the people I want to work with.

And of course, most of my fellow engineers never picked up a soldering iron at work.  But they could if they had to.
