On this episode of The Climate Biotech Podcast, we're sitting down with the legendary George Church. A pioneer in genomics and synthetic biology, George is known for his innovative visions for future tech — and for developing the foundational tools to get us there. 

This conversation spans a gamut of creative ideas including observing planetary metabolomes with satellites, cleaning up supply chains via total recycling, advancing inorganic synthetic biology using multiplex DNA libraries, and harnessing developmental biology to surpass current 3-D printing capabilities.

Tune in to hear George's unique perspective on how biotechnology can provide infinitely scalable and atomically precise solutions to our planet's most pressing issues.
