I may have misread what this meetup group is about. Dan is a good speaker, but the presentation seemed focused on business strategy as opposed to the metabolic engineering techniques and/or particular evolutionary problems being addressed.

Very good, clear, fun and provided good advice on how to navigate the early stages of a SynBio venture. Loved the Q&A....quite thought provoking.

Hi Megan, I'll be going back to Menlo Park, so dropping you off in PA wouldn't be a problem.
