What happens when Blockchain meets Bio?

Hi ,

What happens when Blockchain meets Bio? We’re going to find out! I’m excited to announce our upcoming Synthetic Biology Summit on Sustainable Biomanufacturing for Future Network States: check it out here and apply to join before midnight this Sunday.

It will be taking place on April 1-2 on the beautiful coast of Montenegro in Europe. This epic meeting will bring together two people, who in my humble opinion, are amongst the most important technological minds of this century: Drew Endy, Professor at Stanford, founder of iGEM/Biobricks Foundation, and Vitalik Buterin the founder of Ethereum. Drew and Vitalik will explore the intersection of synthetic biology and blockchain including crypto cities, network states, DAO’s, and Distributed Science (DeSci).

Here’s the venue (above) and here are some of the other folks who’ll be joining us (below).

How can we use these new technologies to build sustainable manufacturing ecosystems that we will be proud to one day call home? Come find out and build the future with us. It’s free to join, but space is limited - I welcome you to apply before midnight on Sunday.

What else has been happening this week you may ask?
