Hi there,
Here's what I'm about:
I cross many disciplinary borders in my work to bring impactful change for a better world. If you see anything that resonates with you, do not hesitate to click the contact button and send me a message to chat further about the overlap of our interests.
​
As for the term "BioSynth," I first heard this term at the "Our Biological Future(s)" webinar presented by Ginkgo Bioworks in March 2022. One of the panelists, Ahmed Best, suggested "BioSynth" or "BioSynthesizer" as a new name for Synthetic Biologists. Some of the reasons include having a connection to synthesizers that are used to create music and be playful since Synthetic Biologists are also being creative and creating with nature (contrary to what some may believe of us). A new name also helps break away from the stigma "Synthetic Biology" holds as something to be scared of or something to bring about the end of the world, which is no more true than any other field of science and engineering. Being called a BioSynth resonates more with me than being called a Synthetic Biologist as I create at the intersection of so many fields and intersect perspectives playfully with the spirit of collaborating with nature, so that's what I'm keeping on the website for now!
