Keira Havens gave insights on the beauty of Biotechnology at TEDxFrankfurt (
Biotechnology is a fascinating and complex field, but it is often portrayed as a parody of itself – a scientist in lab coat and glasses, holding a syringe of blue liquid at a bench in an industrial clean room. Keira Havens is a scientist with a love for beauty, and as CEO of Revolution Bioengineering she has combined the two by making flowers that change color throughout the day. In her talk, she shares her vision of a vibrant and stunning future made possible through responsible innovation and the integration of computation, engineering, and biology. Keira wants to shatter some stereotypes, and inspire people to learn how beautiful biotechnology can be!
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

Not beautiful than the lecturer 😍
I like this new world of biotechnology
Another great talk. Thank you.
she's so hott
Tasty – Daddy like!🤒

I am not a biologist by any degree but just learning from basic anthro and bio classes that all plants are genetically engineered gives some insight. The example I recall is modern broccli being an inedible flower to being bred into a staple on the dinner table. Skipping the steps of generations of breeding vegetables to like add vitamin A to rice is pretty cool. The Windup Girl might be a great book – but the fear of this technology is irrational and this type of knowledge could potentialy save the world.
This video has regained my confidence that I am in right path in my career. Doing PhD in Fish biotechnology in India, Nice to hear this.. ❤
Thank you for sharing this beautiful ideas with us. It really inspired me. Ah, I was about to clap too in the end then realized I am on yt
After seeing her speech , I felt very proud and glad ,that I'm a biotechnology student.☺
Im 18 and want to be a veterinarian, but I’m thinking of biotechnology. I designed an aquaponics system in my backyard and I made some tissue cultures at home. I also put some plants under different coloured lights to see how light affects growth, and I was thinking of putting my cultures under different coloured lights to see what will happen (I’m weird I know). I don’t know if I would do well in biotechnology. I do well in school (especially in most science courses. Math is alright, but some subjects can be a bit confusing and I do sometimes need someone to explain the content further to understand it), however, idk if I’m smart enough or innovative enough for this field. I currently work at a vet clinic where I do a lot of lab work. Can anyone give me some input?
I study biotechnology and that always seems like one of the best choices I've ever made. Everyday spent studying this field and doing its projects I feel like I'm doing my part at making this world a better place and there's no feeling above that.
This was so beautiful!💯
7:22 to 8:20 Must watch for non-biologists! 😊
Biology is everything . love biology 💕❤️
After 9 years I will be on that stage , discussing about my discovery , and its not a dream its my goal , I love biotechnology 🤗😁🇮🇳
She is such a bragger, ow yes I made it, I am the best, I am a scientist. Bla Bla Bla.
But why make color changing flowers in the first place? Just because looking at a simple one coloured flower isn't enough for us? We always want more than we need and as much as it's helped, biotech is many times an excuse for our self indulgence
biotechnology is really nice, thanks to this career I have a purpose, and that is to do something that makes all the efforts worthwhile.
I believe that biotechnology and other types of sciences such as environmental engineering, renewable energies and others are the future for everyone, in all areas since it is no longer something optional but a necessity
The biotechnology is very important is our day to day life, as it can help us in life for example in the development of vaccines
Biotechnology can be beautiful..oh!! it sounds so much cooler than heaven…

Today in fear and ignorance in innovation causes the development of new strategies to combat real problems to be limited, Biotechnology provides strategies such as the creation of GMO foods, these are not harmful but the lack of information generates fear and false ideas.
Biotechnology is a subject with endless possibilities. It's exciting innovative and the future. Good luck to those who join
Wow, Its fantastic. I think biotechnology is our future. Good luck..
Proud of being a studying agri biotech ❤❤
Im graduate in gentics & biotechnology, and i would love to work in this area. Someone knows where is it possible?? Im just looking for work
Some people think they watch jurrasic park and some sci fi movies and they understand biotechnology
Good
She seems so much emotionally attached to biotechnology ❣️
No one can regret choosing biotech if we remove the biochemistry part only( it's complicated)
GMO is playing God, He didn't and never does make mistakes, we do
Superb maam👍
Biotechnology is the future!
Whether it be surviving on Earth or inhabiting Mars in future, biotechnology is going to be a boon for Human race.
i cant stand this woman another second
This is my bio homework
Actually she is saying that she has disturbed the nature.
Proud to be a biotechnologist 😊❤
I'm facing a lot of challenges this year because I still don't know what I want to major on. I'm interested in biological studies, my main choices being biotechnology, biology, biochemistry (not offered in my country, which means I'll have to move) and Chemical/Biological engineering. The thing is, I want to have a profession on these where my main focus is research. Biology and Biochem fall straight into that category, but, what about biotechnology? Is there a high demand on research projects as there are in Biology/Biochem? Is it more specialized in certain topics compared to Biology? Does it have a high job demand/opportunities? Any advice and answers to these questions would b highly appreciated.
I love tedtalks and always think they justify their points acceptably. however, especially for STEM discussing talks, I think it should be norm that researchers cite their sources when referring to other innovations. because for one, i want the source nd validation of the IBM Watson's research. where, what, when?? I need proofs. and I would love further reading links. thank you team!
Yea you are making a itchy gmo..allergies
