Rathan Duggirala first wrote to us as a 6th grader who loved painting with bacteria. Six years later, his bio-paint, made from engineered bacterial pigment and a milk-protein binder, is in a peer-reviewed journal. Here’s how one science fair question grew into three published papers and two trips to ISEF.
Tim was an intern at Amino Labs. He shared his experience learning about biotechnology, genetic engineering, bioart, and biomanufacturing. From designing kits to tackling real-world projects, the intern gained valuable insights and skills in a laid-back, hands-on environment, choosing industry over academia.

Welcome to a guest post by Patricia. Patricia is a Grade 8 student in Ontario, Canada and a volunteer with Markham’s youth-led STEM outreach group, STEM Kids Rock. She has been discovering genetic engineering at-home after discovering and exploring CRISPR for a school science fair project (She won her Regional's Bronze!). Here, Patricia talks about her journey to becoming a Genetic Engineering Hero...
“Why don’t you do something with coding?” I asked. “This is coding,” she told me. “The REAL coding. The genetic code.”
Jim is a writer and the proud father of a science-loving teenage daughter. Jim has been discovering genetic engineering alongside his daughter and navigating what it means to be a parent at the forefront of Genetic Engineering at Home. Here, Jim shares his journey...
