Having too much fun SynBioBeta.

A truly radical bio-industrial revolution will see the line between pastoral farmlands, biological foundries, and industrial factories completely blurred.

This first panel MIT Morningside Academy for Design today blew my mind 🤯 and I can’t wait to dive deeper into their work. #powerofdesign

I really enjoyed talking to Justyna Green about why we need to upstream design in STEAM(D) and how this can expand the possibilities of synthetic biology. Thank you for having me on your podcast 💚

I’m excited to see The Arts Foundation launching #biodesign as an award category & delighted to be on the jury panel for its inaugural cohort. This is a prize that can offer a meaningful boost for emerging practitioners engaged in projects no one else realises they should fund 😉.

As part of Singapore Design Week I’m thrilled to be speaking today at the Agency for the Future Symposium curated & hosted by Paola Antonelli and Design Singapore. I’m on a panel with Sarah Ichioka on all things #regenrativedesign 🌎🌍🌏. Talks will be available online!✨

What's the danger of a world without beauty?

If everything is simply functional, simply useful, then life becomes a mere conveyor belt.

It turns humans into machines of consumption, labour, & reproduction.

Aren't we more than that?

Hosted a fun discussion on opportunities and challenges in scaling #syntheticbiology at the World Economic Forum Global Technology Governance Retreat this week with an awesome panel: Claudia Vickers Natsai Audrey Chieza Jaime Yassif India Hook-Barnard, PhD

I’m excited to be finally able to put this very special project out into the world! Amazing to collaborate with Megan J Palmer & Global Future Council on #syntheticbiology World Economic Forum, and to share the project with the community at the forums’s Global Technology & Governance Retreat.

We've just launched the 2022 open call for the Ginkgo Creative Residency where we will be inviting our 6th resident to imagine what a playful practice of synthetic biology might look like. Ginkgo Bioworks Making With Life 🦠🛝

Artists and designers are helping Ginkgo Bioworks explore the human side of synthetic biology forbes.com/sites/benjamin… Ginkgo Bioworks Tom Knight -- e/🦀 Christina Agapakis (🧬/acc) Natsai Audrey Chieza Andrea Ling Yasaman Sheri Forbes Benjamin Wolff #syntheticbiology #creativity #arts

Love this article by Benjamin Wolff on the Ginkgo Bioworks #ginkgocreativeresidency . 6 years in and it’s the first time anyone’s ever covered it. Keep your eyes peeled for the 2022 open call going live at the end of May!

Today we are proud to release the IPCC #ClimateReport , that we have been working on since 2018. I am one of 270 authors - scientists from around the world.

What does it tell us?
1. Climate change is impacting everyone. 🌊🥀🔥
2. We can do something about it. 🫂

🌱 The BIO STORIES forum kicked off yesterday as part of Natsai Audrey Chieza's #DDW21 Ambassadorship. We spoke to her about the relationships we want to have with nature as mediated by synthetic biology's emerging technology. 👉 bit.ly/3Gb9Poj Making With Life

We are excited to announce that we will be presenting BIO STORIES [Eindhoven] at Dutch Design Week Dutch Design Week. BIO STORIES provides a forum to explore our relationship with nature and define a positive vision for what it could be.

The future won’t be mined, extracted, wired or launched.

It will be grown.
