@jrkelly @iGEM @60Minutes Synthetic Biology in schools is critical. Every school should be teaching Biotechnology skills. To build these programs it will take all stakeholders to get involved from educational policy, corporations, academia. Every child should be learning about the coding of life.

Go to @iGEM to see the future of bioengineering!! Best event of the year. So great to see it covered on @60minutes tonight! iGEM needs to be as big as First Robotics in the US if we're going to win biotech this century.

@60Minutes I'm retired. I've been studying biology, molecular biology, evolution and natural selection for more than 20 years in my spare time. When i see these young adults less than 1/3 of my age studying and researching CRISPR/Cas9/gene editing/gene modification, it's gives me great hope
