Spring 2014 edition of BioCoder is now available

BioCoderSpring2014

We're at the start of a revolution that will transform our lives as radically as the computer revolution of the 70s. The biological revolution will touch every aspect of our lives: food and health, certainly, but also art, recreation, law, business, and much more.

BioCoder is the newsletter of that revolution. It's about biology as it moves from research labs into startup incubators, hacker spaces, and even homes. It's about a very old programming language that we're just beginning to understand, and that's written in a code made up of organic chemicals. It's the product of a sharing community of scientists that stretches from grade school to post docs and university faculty.
