Episode notes

i watched your talk this morning and it was extremely inspiring and uh a lot of the content and conversations that's been going on here at zuzalu's really a systems level thinking. We need to be able to not do exactly what you said take something out of the ground make it into something waste some of it along the way and then dump it into the air or into our oceans. It is a systems problem because it's impacting our entire ecosystem and all of the things that are interrelated. i think that the most important thing that we can start to do is to say we're going to reuse everything we doWe're going to be more like nacre nacre circular right even

Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. In this 8-episode series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers in new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running.

Synthetic biology is a fascinating field that combines biology, engineering, and computer science to design and construct new biological systems. By manipulating and reprogramming the DNA of living organisms, scientists can create new functions and traits that do not occur naturally. It's like rewriting the instruction manual of life itself, similar to how we write computer code.

In this video, you'll hear from three leaders in the synthetic biology industry—Drew Endy, John Cumbers, and Jennifer Holmgren—who will expand our understanding and imagination of this exciting field.

Keep an eye out as we roll out the rest of these boundary-pushing episodes!
