For the past few weeks, Future Tense has been exploring synthetic biology as part of our ongoing project Futurography, which introduces readers to new technological or scientific topics. Now’s your chance to show us how much you’ve learned.

We suspect you’ll do great, but you might want to brush up by reading a few of the articles we’ve published on the topic first.

This article is part of synthetic biology of Futurography, a series in which Future Tense introduces readers to the technologies that will define tomorrow. Each month, we’ll choose a new technology and break it down. Future Tense is a collaboration among Arizona State University, New America, and Slate.
