The Future of Synbio

Andrew Hessel discusses the potential of synthetic biology (synbio) and how it will be limited by our ability to write programs. He predicts that with the ability to program cells, we will see the rise of trillion dollar companies in the space, creating products that we all need. Hessel also explores the future of engineering ourselves and upgrading our children, while emphasizing the importance of ensuring safety and gaining more experience in engineering other creatures.
