Biological hardware description language
Timeline
January 2010:
- present basic synthbio presentation to select audience at draper. identify ways which synthetic biology can further draper's biomed side.
- contact profs Weiss and Densmore about possible PhD opportunities
October 2010: take GREs and prepare statement of intent. The statement of intent should be a one page summary of your thesis proposal.
December 2010: apply for grad schools
