For reasons, I am not in San Jose this morning getting ready to attend the great Synbiobeta synthetic biology conference. But that unfortunate fact doesn't negate any of my astute commentary on biodigital technopotheosis in the essay linked to below.
I've been attending Synbiobeta events off and on for ten years. Heading to San Jose in May for the biggest one ever.

I put my heart into this 👇 essay about synthetic biology, oligarchicly-funded vs publicly funded science, George Church & the dire wolf brouhaha, the unsung hero of the Human Genome Project, biopunks, cowardice at #synbiobeta 2025, and the fate of humanity. Thanks for any help promoting it.
In the words of vaccinologist Greg Poland, history will judge all of us by whether we did or did not stand up for science when the fate of the world was in play. At "The World's Largest Gathering of Synthetic Biologists," many prominent scientists failed this test. We can and must do better. 🧪

Speaking soon on a #scicomm panel about how it is critical to the synthetic biology and broader biotech industry. Do you have a clear and evidence-backed science communication strategy? The more innovative your company, the more you need to invest in such a strategy. @SynBioBeta

Working on a draft of my first — of probably several —report(s) on this past week’s SynbioBeta synthetic biology conference in San Jose.
Provisional title for my essay: "I was in the house when the house burned down."
Stay tuned, but as always, comments welcome.
