Hi everybody!

I’m giving a talk about BioCurious tomorrow evening at the Eric Quezada Center for Culture and Politics in San Francisco. It’s a departure from my usual science-y venue, this venue has sponsors like Rainbow Grocery and Other Avenues Grocery Store which is super cool. The focus of the speaker series is on art, politics, ecology, historical perspectives, literary, and social movements. Other events this month include Oil, Soil, and (Climate) Turmoil, and “What’s going right with the global environment!”.

Synthetic Biology: DIY Tinkering Meets Big Capital
In the midst of the ongoing tech boom in the Bay Area, the biotech industry gets less attention than social media and “sharing” unicorns. What is going on with the push for “synthetic biology”? What are the implications for politics, manufacturing, medicine? Will the boundary between life and artifice persist? How do embedded paradigms reflect deeper assumptions about the structure of modern life? with Elliot Hosman, Pete Shanks, and Tito Jankowski.

Wednesday, April 13th, 7:30 - 9:30 PM
At Eric Quezada Center for Culture and Politics, 518 Valencia St, near 16th Street, San Francisco
