My dream of engineering biology is a terminal. Or maybe it's a chat bot. Or maybe it's some kind of futuristic VR interface with crazy gloves and whatever. The details are not that important. What's important is that sense of transparency that comes from live communication. You can read, write, and edit as fast as you can think. Those designs are built and tested exactly to your specifications and the results come back in a way that is totally intuitive to you. After a year of talking about biology and trying to talk with biology, what I've really learned is that I love it and I want more. Communication is at the center of making biology easier to engineer.

The central hypothesis is that the body is a collective intelligence behaving in anatomical, physiological, and transcriptional spaces [13]. Thus, behavioral science tools developed to collaborate with complex systems should provide therapeutic advantages over biochemical micromanagement. Therefore, drugs and other interventions should be developed as communication messages, not low-level controls. The focus for therapeutic discovery there- fore must shift to understanding how proto-cognitive systems interpret interventions, supporting a strategy of collaboration with endogenous capacities [20] to achieve desired outcomes
