Episode 3 | Exploring HTGAA, New Initiatives & Cocoa Zero Update

In this episode, we’re joined by David Sun Kong, Director of the Community Biotechnology Initiative at MIT Media Labs, to dive deep into the world of decentralized science (DeSci). David shares insights into the innovative “How to Grow Almost Anything” program, a course that empowers students to explore synthetic biology and biotech at scale. We also explore the exciting intersection of DeSci and AI, with a special focus on the potential of Bio Protocol’s AI agents. Additionally, Albert and Dan from ValleyDAO update us on the latest progress from the “Cocoa Zero” project, a DeSci-powered sustainable cocoa butter replacement, and the impact of this work on the future of sustainable food production.Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the future of biotech, decentralized science, and how DeSci is shaping the future of innovation.
