Thinking Machines: Synthetic Biology
How are innovations in DNA synthesis changing the landscape of medical research, industrial production, food systems, and data storage? What impacts will synthetic biology have on us and the planet, and how can we balance their ethical limits with their possibilities to change the world for the better?

Tickets include a viewing of the de Young special exhibition, Cult of the Machine, from 6-7pm, the conversation in Koret Auditorium at 7pm, and a cash bar reception until 9:30pm.
