Biotechnology 101 for Singularity University
As many of you are aware, I recently gave a talk at the very prestigious Singularity University. This is a program co-funded by NASA and Google to study how exponential technologies can solve the global challenges that afflict 1 billion people or more.

Biotechnology 101 for Singularity University SLIDES
The 2011 Graduate Studies Program or GSP11 as it is known among the Singularitans, is a 12 week program where 80 of the brightest and most accomplished individuals from over 35 countries have assembled at NASA AMES to learn the exponential technologies in the following areas
| Technology Tracks | AI & Robotics Nanotechnology Networks & Computing Systems Biotechnology & Bioinformatics Medicine & Neuroscience |
|---|---|
| Resource Tracks | Futures Studies & Forecasting Policy, Law & Ethics Finance & Entrepreneurship |
| Application Tracks | Energy & Ecological Systems Space & Physical Sciences |
I was lucky enough to be invited to give them the basics of Biotechnology and Genomics and for those of you that are interested, my slides are posted above.
