Vision
Regarding the Cornell Transhumanist Society:
In order to thwart the challenges that await us in the 21st century, a newborn wind is needed to unify the international scientific community so that, together, we may rediscover inspiration and push humanity to the edge of its imagination. I am confident that one idea, namely transhumanism, is the intellectual movement that can provide the change needed to dramatically and creatively develop the required research initiatives. At the onset of my collegiate career, I spearheaded an online forum for transhumanists in the Facebook network. This group has reached over 1400+ participants, and at the request of the Executive Director of the World Transhumanist Assocation and the Transhumanist Student Network, I created the Cornell Transhumanist Society for this particular campus. Specifically, I work to incorporate the latest engineering publications and cutting edge research into constructive debate. I consider this organization a think tank, because the members engage in the critical analysis of possible 21st century futures in the worlds of technology and politics. With the aid of guest speakers, we envision the world�s different ideologies even outside the engineering disciplines, i.e. through music and art, religion and philosophy, and government and economics. The new model for the university, my ideal, which is what the Cornell Transhumanist Society strives to convey on campus, transcends national borders and embraces the virtual experience to reflect on the �soft power� of science.
Please note: The organization is expanding to include a design team and a research panel to give students of all levels the opportunity to explore and entertain the feasibility of advanced engineering propositions. Goals for this semester, which are already in development, include networking Cornell organizations to produce not only a semesterly publication, but a new voice on campus. With its astounding reactions, the Cornell Transhumanist Society has required a great deal of dedication from its executive board, and I am proud to have facilitated and served it.

Bionitika strives to create adaptable, interactive, and functional lifeforms, biological or otherwise. By the engineering method, project teams will compete to perfect an automated microenvironment to spawn and mediate cell design. Robotic arm and nanoassembly techniques will be employed to deliver ingredients and control the culture medium. Substrate and structural molds can be implemented to facilitate or produce a desired creation. Genomic libraries must be developed in order to construct proper components.
