Dr. Christina Agapakis is the creative director at Ginko Bioworks. In this episode we discuss her amazing journey from Pam Silver’s lab to her current position at Ginko Bioworks. Along the way she attempted to solve the energy crisis, worked with artists, made foot cheese, and started a science magazine. Christina’s goal is to engage with the public and make them think about the future they want from biotechnology. I met Christina at a conference demoing dozens of vials labelled: fear, passion, roses, etc. These little glass vials contained fragrant cocktails of aromatic extracts produced by bio-engineered yeast! What a great episode!
