A comedy lecture about synthetic biology.

Blurb:

We are in the middle of a molecular biology revolution, as our ability to manipulate, understand and design biological systems is increasing rapidly. As experiments become cheaper, faster and more reliable such power may become widely accessible – and of course, with great power comes great responsibility.
This is a broad overview of the recent history and development of synthetic biology, and I’ll aim to go from the Human Genome Project to CRISPR in 50 minutes. On the way, we’ll consider important questions such as:
What is a spider goat?
Can we create artificial life?
and
Why haven’t we made Jurassic Park yet?
