Takeaways from spending most of October at the @edgecity Lanna popup city in Chiang Mai, Thailand: âą I enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by curious, high-agency people (especially builders) âą between attending presentations, participating in DAOs and spontaneous excursions, felt a lot like a college campus (except everyone is a fully-grown adult and there of their own volition) âą editing plant genes, learning about @metamask delegators and discussing the future of stablecoins with @vitalik.eth in the room is a vibe âą got a taste of the âbiohackerâ lifestyle â sauna, cold plunge, measuring biomarkers with blood tests and fitness trackers âą Thai food is cheap and amazing; pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety of health-conscious food options (though food poisoning is no joke) âą digital nomading is hard when your companyâs daily standup is effectively 11pm đ” âą popup cities inspired by @zuzalu and @ns are absolutely gonna explode next year and I am totally here for it

As I understand it, they used CRISPR technology to isolate the genes that make beets red, then had us deliver them to the live plant cells by âinfectingâ the leaves with gene-editing agrobacterium. If done right, the leaves would eventually turn red. https://x.com/joinedgecity/status/1847273343637954806
