We people come from very different backgrounds; there are many engineers, a lot of biologists, plenty computer science people and even some mathematicians, medics or people with more exotic backgrounds. Since Synthetic biology has contributions from many areas there are many things we aren't used to; engineers, mathematicians and biologists address problems in a different way, use different languages and have different very different skills and knowledges. Yet if we want to cooperate (see the image on the right ) we should have a common ground. | We people come from very different backgrounds; there are many engineers, a lot of biologists, plenty computer science people and even some mathematicians, medics or people with more exotic backgrounds.

- Drew_Endy in an interview explaining what Synthethic Biology is.
- This is a Synthetic Biology FAQ.
- Check the following video . We might use expensive and sophisticated toys but still there is no other way to learn than doing it by yourself. Practice, learn, play and have fun.
- This is an amazing video that shows what we are dealing with. The molecular machinery that works inside the cells.
