Friends in Germany! I want to tell you about the process of discovery, the creativity that it requires and the sense of awe that it inspires. Come check out my "The Gorilla in the Genome" lecture on Monday at the International Science Festival in Heidelberg.

The eternal question: should you focus on one problem for a very long time or is it more productive to bounce and work on many problems? David Baker says that both modes have been important in his career trajectory.

Synthetic biology began with a blinking bacterium.

In 2000, Michael Elowitz & Stainlas Leibler reported one of the first synthetic gene circuits, an oscillator that made cells "glow" in regular rhythms. We interviewed Elowitz to learn more.
