A reply on Talk: Craig Venter unveils "synthetic life"

Mar 16 2013: Exactly!
It took us 12 years after the human genome project to start looking into what microbes are found inside of us. Even now, we have no idea what about 20% of genetic info in our noses is. This is just incredible.

A comment on Talk: Lee Cronin: Print your own medicine

Feb 9 2013: It's a great revolutionary idea that seems unlikely right now but in a couple of years won't seem so far-fetched. The human genome project in '89 started with skepticism but it goes to show that getting these ideas out there is the first step into the future of medicine.
