Because the way the world is going right now, we cannot keep running our economy on petrochemicals, on oil.

We have to build more equitable economy.

And we have to really understand biology on this very fundamental molecular level.

And all those things will not happen unless we truly understand this very basic building block, which is a cell.

And I believe we will not be able to understand a complex natural cell unless we can actually build it.
