I decided to try out blogging. I find it’s usually a good idea to just jump into things. I’ll try and keep my writing here from meandering too much. I’m hoping to answer a couple questions:

1. What exactly is open source biology and can it be a viable approach for biological engineering?

2. Can we accelerate scientific progress by openly sharing information earlier in the research process?

Also, my day job involves doing wet lab work in the field of synthetic biology (e.g. Biological Engineering), so I’ll talk about that too. Doesn’t work to yell at other scientists about being more open with their work if I’m not practicing what I preach.

Hope you enjoy the blog.
