Critical reception Hyeon Minhyeong of IZM reviewed "This 'play,' which started from extremely personal experiences, is meaningful because it forms a consensus with those who 'know' their own hamartia beyond their own satisfaction, as she said, defining the value ...

The documentary discusses synthetic biology Synthetic biology (SynBio) is a multidisciplinary area of research that seeks to create new biological parts, devices, and systems, or to redesign systems that are already found in nature. It is a branch of science that encompasses a broad ran ..., the potential of science "breaking down nature into spare parts" and then rebuilding it back up as we wish.
