Open the Future: Give My Creation… Life!
"The idea is to turn bacteria into microscopic machines, carrying out designated tasks in massively-parallel operations. Given the extreme range of things that bacteria can do in nature, the extent to which bacterial machines might be used is pretty staggering, particularly concerning environmental response. This would be a perfect platform for methanotrophic remediation of melting permafrost, for example; the Venter folks are already talking about...

Station Ident: Choking

Yesterday was a washout: looks like I'm in London again early next week for more producer meetings. At this rate I may as well start renting a flat there…! Morning. Still warm here, but still peering at the sky suspiciously and expecting hot hail…
