Just got back from Synbiobeta in San Jose It was great to hear directly from old and new players where present day synbio is at and where they see the future headed. I’ll be chiming in on my blog editlife.substack.com very soon also here is a lovely moment where I accidentally photobombed @bryanjohnson 😅

I just explained DNA sequencing to a lovely coffee shop barista and she had no problem grasping it. I think science communicators need to give more credit to non-specialists. If someone is not understanding I think more often than not it’s on the person explaining. She also remarked on the strange opaqueness of Boston/Cambridge’s biotech scene. Everywhere you turn is a mysterious insular biotech company. She was telling me how strange it was to pass by buildings & see glimpses of strange figures/instruments through the large glass windows As a much as our technologies advance, public literacy investment should also increase

It’s always cool to see a viewpoint I have around a technology landscapes I’m super passionate about resonate.

I spent the past week in Deer Isle, Maine sequencing the DNA of the local flora and fauna @cyrus and I scraped algae off of rocks, sampled lichen draped over trees, and swabbed biofilms growing on fresh water pools trapped in the hollows of rocks
