@CliffordBioChem Hmmm. I agree with the point about H2O. Makes me think that perhaps rather than revamping our image to account for people’s misconceptions we should try and educate them about our field. (Eg, once they know dihydrogen monoxide is just water they’ll stop being scared of it).

Hello #synbio twitter. I'd like to initiate a conversation. Is the term "synthetic" biologist too suspicious in the public eye? Should we call ourselves bioengineers instead, to sound more "acceptable"? Are the two terms entirely interchangeable? @SynBioBeta @iGEM
