Mackenzie Cowell's Fascination with Synthetic Biology
2009 October 27
Mackenzie Cowell is one of the founders of DIYbio.org, an organization that aims to help make biology a worthwhile pursuit for citizen scientists, amateur biologists, and DIY biological engineers who value openness and safety. Mackenzie was recently interviewed by MAKE magazine for an ongoing series of video interviews with notable working scientists and technologists. These interviews were recorded at SciFoo, an un-conference on Science and Technology organized by O’Reilly Media along with Nature Publishing Group and Google. Mac is fascinated about emerging discipline of synthetic biology,
In the future there is a really neat opportunity for open source science to be driven by amateurs.

Inspirational, thanks for posting this. I looked at the MAKE magazine videos and they were all good. I really liked the interview with Heather Lang, perhaps because I love the “ah yes, got it” sensation
