USA Today: American's cautious, but OK, with synthetic biology

An article on USA Today's Science Fair blog about a poll that showed that two-thirds of Americans think that synthetic biology should move forward reports that "the science of designing and constructing new biological parts, devices and systems, or even re-engineering existing life is promising and in general Americans who've heard of it like the idea, but are cautious. For example, scientists at [UB] are working to produce a strain of yeast that makes gasoline."
