Synthetic biology is the evolution of genetic engineering: a toolset, a mindset, a community and a vibe. As an emerging technology, its boundaries are not fixed. But the field's guiding philosophy, bringing engineering approaches to biological problems, is a consistent source of inspiration and progress.

I have a B.S. in Computer Science and am about to finish a B.S. in Biology, I've performed well as a student and many of my professors have encouraged me to take my education further. This is exactly the sort of thing I want to do, but I don't know the way forward. I'm the first person in my family to go to college, I don't have a ton of highly educated friends, and most of my professors got their PhD's before the internet was a thing, much less synthetic biology. How do I learn more about this, like actual careers and not just broad fields of study. How do I find schools that offer programs and degrees for this?
