WWBD? What would Bill (Gates) do?
“If I were a teenager today, I’d be hacking biology… Creating artificial life with DNA synthesis. That’s sort of the equivalent of
machine-language programming.”
- In an interview by Steven Levy, author of Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution
Growing Communities of Citizen Scientists
A collaborative, collegiate environment.BioCurious doesn’t take IP.
A place for education, collaboration, and innovation.
Biotech: today, cheap enough to exist outside of university and corporate labs. And people are interested! What we need is a place to work, learn and have fun… safely.
This is what BioCurious will bring.

This is your brain. This is your brain on butter.
(no offense)
Butter Mind. 21 days. 45 participants asking “will eating butter make me smarter?”
Seems like. But, like any good research study, we’re doing it again. Butter Mind 2 coming soon…
