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.

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: 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.

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... A bioengineered houseplant will clean your air — for $179. @neoplants announced the first houseplant genetically engineered to remediate indoor air pollution. sifted.eu/articles/neopl…
