Spring 2014 edition of BioCoder is now available [image:
BioCoderSpring2014]<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zuf8akijvn3ntje5lajl9uq4kd8troicitcbv020>

We're at the start of a revolution that will transform our lives as
radically as the computer revolution of the 70s. The biological revolution
will touch every aspect of our lives: food and health, certainly, but also
art, recreation, law, business, and much more.

BioCoder<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zbp5eg8c2ghvf6vfar0p8rfrb19j9tqhv1i4k278>is
the newsletter of that revolution. It's about biology as it moves from
research labs into startup incubators, hacker spaces, and even homes. It's
about a very old programming language that we're just beginning to
understand, and that's written in a code made up of organic chemicals. It's
the product of a sharing community of scientists that stretches from grade
school to post docs and university faculty.
