The world now stands in an exciting position; in labs all over the world scientists work tirelessly to master the precise workings of cellular machinery, the genetic code, and intricate protein structures. Applications for products facilitated by the development of new technologies become more obvious and more essential each day. Many of the problems we face in the world; hunger, pollution, and disease, all necessitate the development of these groundbreaking technologies. Science, and in particular biology, has advanced to a key, critical stage, which promises to deliver exciting, life changing, and even paradigm shifting advances.

Well… at least that’s what we think.

As budding synthetic biologists and students of science, the development of a new, game changing technology is something that excites and intrigues us. However, not everyone feels the same way. Much of the world young or old, educated or uneducated, simply don’t get the same thrill from science.

Our goal is to educate and excite people about synthetic biology such that our contributions will encourage the development of a society that is scientifically well informed.
