100% this, I really appreciate your shared sentiment on this. I think the more people have this mindset the more optimistic I feel about the future of synbio!

This comment alone warranted a follow. We need to get past the negative reputation (and significant misunderstanding and misinformation) around synbio while still being careful. We are at the doorstep of significant breakthroughs in health care, ag, materials, and so much more! 1000 $degen

Synbio has a serious PR problem around GMOs. I honestly dont blame people that have a negative association. We’ve unfortunately allowed corporate greed to destroy the image of this incredible technology and we have to do something to invite people to change their mind.

My first reaction was that people are reactionary morons fueled by misinformation, but my more cynical side makes me think it could also be done by those with the most to lose. Thanks for sharing! 1000 $degen
