Introduction
Our team was fortunate to attend a variety of exciting events this summer. These included the Fifth International Meeting on Synthetic Biology (SB5.0), the 2011 NASA Lunar Science Forum, and Maker Faire NYC. At each opportunity, we spread our enthusiasm about synthetic biology in space with those around us. In bridging the gap between career biologists, planetary scientists, and the general public, we tried to paint an exciting vision of the future where synthetic biology and humanity's expansion to the stars are closely intertwined. Here are some highlights!
SB 5.0
In June, we were fortunate enough to be right next to the Fifth International Meeting on Synthetic Biology, held at Stanford University. Our entire team attended this three-day long conference, a gathering of the world's eminent figures in synthetic biology. We heard from some of the founding fathers of synthetic biology, researchers, industry representatives, members of the DIY bio community, educators, and students.

SB5.0 was also the introduction of the world's first Synthetic Biology Slam, an open-mic event where attendees shared their ideas for the future of synbio- pressing needs, new conceptualizations of the field, project ideas, etc.
Team member and spoken word poet EVAN CLARK wowed the audience with a performance celebrating the magic of weaving genes and words to create something inspirational.
