I'm looking forward to this spotlight talk by @ModernMeadow's Dave Williamson at #SynBioBeta2023. He'll be discussing how the company is developing a new category of materials that are built with the toolkit of biology.

Using the power of proteins, they can engineer lightweight materials with superior color, performance, and durability while promoting Lab-to-Brand™ traceability and significantly reducing GHG emissions.

As biologists and material scientists, they harness the unique properties of proteins to move the world away from petrochemicals and animal-derived inputs, leading a shift to the bioeconomy.

Isn't this animation awesome? It shows what's going on inside every cell in your body right now. If it's foreign to you then come take our interactive synthetic biology course tomorrow in Oakland! synbiobeta.com/attend/synbiob…
We start with an input/output approach to biological systems and engineering principles, then explain where biological molecules come from and how they are formed, what they look like and how they perform such a wide variety of functions. Image
We then see how these very same properties of native cell function allow us to probe, manipulate, and modify cell function.

Did you know that decentralized science or DeSci emerged on the heels of a wave of citizen and "DIY" biology endeavors, as well as the decade-old open science movement, and is gaining momentum despite the recent chills in the crypto sector? Here’s what it’s all about: Image
DeSci explores the potential for distributing scientific knowledge across the globe. It offers a unique way to share scientific knowledge, allowing for more collaboration and communication between scientists.
DeSci is still in its early stages, but it has already made a significant impact on the scientific community. This new approach is changing the way we think about science and its potential to make a difference in the world.

20 years ago, synthetic biology was just a pipe dream. It was hard to engineer biology and ship product. It's now getting easier. Here's a list of 10 products of synthetic biology... Image
