In addition to their previous thoughts on beer, some science geeks out there are thinking we can start running computers on DNA. It's the kind of scenario that makes science fiction look more like science fact. It's as terrifying as it is fascinating. With some more years** of tweaking and refining both this new development and nanobiology, we might be able to replace antibiotics with bug-busting nanomachines. Very cool, to be sure, but, while I may enjoy writing about implants to enhance our brains, I'm not entirely positive I want to face the option of receiving such an implant myself.
**NOTE: Anything from 10 to 100 years to never depending on funding, society, and politics. Wonder if they'll start a bet on this at Cold Spring Harbor?
