Biodigital Convergence: An Introduction


Details
This is a zoom meeting I will be posting the link in the comment section before the event.
Hour 1
In the first half I will give some background on my experience as an electrical engineer and why I have decided to start presenting on this information. I will give an overview of what the biodigital convergence is, how it is impacting our lives, and the depth of how far the science has come,
Break
I will break halfway for questions and to take a breath.
Hour 2
In the second half I will be presenting on how these concepts are connected to the sustainable development goals, to national security, and the possible reasons why this topic is so controversial even when it is everywhere in academic, political, industrial, military and medical institutions. At the end of the presentation I will open the presentation up for more questions and comments. Even if this is new to you I want to hear how it may make you feel, what information you have, and if you would like to help in any way.
PSA
This information will not be easy to hear. Please be respectful of others opinions. I have opinions on these topics but I will be fair about presenting both the positive and negative impacts of this information. Do not bring up religious or political views unless there is specific reason to do so. The biodigital convergence is being worked on by professionals of every kind it cuts across all divides.
For the Curious
