User:Mackenzie L. Cowell

I'm Mac Cowell. I studied Biology at Davidson College under Malcolm Campbell and Laurie Heyer and I work at MIT helping run iGEM, the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition. Besides synthetic biology and science 2.0, many of my interests revolve around the ways technology can encourage and enable spontaneous cooperation; for instance, flashmobs and alternate reality games.

I'm online: cis-action.com, twitter, Facebooke. Aim: cxmac2 flickr, cis-action.blip.tv. You can find lots of awesome resources about making videos and distributing them online at MakeInternetTv.org.

You can email me through OWW.
