Dr. Jo Zayner | Urges You To Fall In Love With Biotech

Dr. Jo Zayner, founder of The ODIN speaks with Andrea Macdonald, founder of ideaXme. Discover why everyone "should fall in love with biotech". Find out how here: https://www.the-odin.com Dr. Jo Zayner, PhD, Biophysics, is a "visionary" biochemist and genetic designer. For over 15 years, they have pioneered work in the field of bioengineering, publishing a number of scientific papers on the topic. Zayner is transgender and uses they/she pronouns advocating for diversity, body autonomy and science for all. Jo received their PhD in Biophysics from the University of Chicago, winning several awards for their work on engineering proteins. They then spearheaded work on developing engineered microbes for Mars terraforming at NASA, eventually leaving to start The ODIN, a bioengineering company based in Austin, Texas that is working to make genetic engineering accessible to everyone. Zayner’s groundbreaking work in human genetic engineering and medicine has been the focus of many documentaries, including the Netflix documentary Unnatural Selection https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/8020... and the NYT documentary Gut Hack https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/11/op... . They have been made fun of on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and written about in media all over the world including The New York Times, The New Yorker, El País, Le Monde, Time, Scientific American and NPR, among others. Somehow Jo still finds time to be an accomplished artist whose work has been featured in exhibits at San Francisco MoMA, Philadelphia Museum of Art, NY MoMA, ZKM and the Smithsonian. 00:00 We're here to idea everyone. To fire up your curiosity and connect you with the people and ideas that change our world. 00:19 Hello I'm Andrea Macdonald the founder of ideaXme. Who are you? 00.25 Hi, I am Jo Zayner and I am a scientist. 02:30 I started working at NASA, the space agency. 02:44 You left because you didn't like how things worked there? 02:55 It used to be that people did science because they were curious about things. Wanted to discover things. 03:04 Now people do science to publish papers. 04:18 So you want to spark curiosity in the biotechnology sector and invite the public in. 07:31 The organisms in our kits are engineered specifically not to be harmful to humans. 19:57 The different ways in which you are biohacking yourself. 37:40 For the benefit of people who have not come across gene drives could you explain what they are? The ODIN, team believe the future is going to be dominated by genetic engineering and consumer genetic design will be a big part of that. They are facilitating this by offering tailored biotech kits and tools that allow anyone to make unique and usable organisms at home or in a lab or anywhere. Safely of course!
