In a feature on the Best and Brightest scientific thinkers of 2007, Chris Jones profiles SynBERCer Drew Endy in the November 20, 2007, edition of Esquire on how he "and a few other pioneers of synthetic biology are starting to intervene in evolution and put it to work for us." Did Drew really declare some kind of nerdcore-gangsta-rap-war against Berkeley? Also mentioned in the article are SynBERCers Jay Keasling, Tom Knight, and George Church.
