<p> We talked about the essence of Biotechnology, and discussed the inter-relation of Science, Art, Design and Technology. We also discussed the cano-relations between science and religion and also, science as a religion. We concluded that Art, Science and Religion are different ways of telling a story/myth.</p>

In our next class, we will make our wine while observing the changes at every stage, [[http://hackteria.org/wiki/index.php/DIY_Fermentation_or_the_Art_of_making_Wine]] and we will try to conduct the Ganzfeld experiment. [[http://hackteria.org/wiki/index.php/Ganzfeld_experiment]] </p>
