Biotechnology High School 

A place where the students are so smart that they need to take IB classes because AP classes are just too easy. 100% Smarter than High Technology High School kids. People who have plated over 100 plates of agar and transformed bacteria. Students who sleep when they get back to their homes and, study from 6pm-3am and repeat the cycle. They are all allergic to IB Spanish. If you apply here, good luck getting through all four years.

Advanced Biotechnology

The point where biology stops being a subject to study and becomes a programmable, hackable, manufacturing platform. It's CRISPR gene editing, synthetic biology that writes DNA from scratch, tissue engineering of organs, and brain-computer interfaces. This is biology as information technology, moving from reading the code of life to writing and debugging it. The potential ranges from curing all diseases and growing meat in vats to designing bespoke babies and creating new, never-before-seen biological systems.
Example: "Advanced biotech isn't just a new drug; it's mRNA vaccines programmed in weeks, bacteria engineered to poop biofuels, and clinical trials for growing new kidneys from a patient's own cells." Advanced Biotechnology

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
