about project dolly

Our Mission

Project Dolly is inspired by the “miracles” bioengineering has already given us, most famously, Dolly the sheep. I'm Erwin, and I started this to prove that bioengineering isn't just for PhDs, it's for everyone. I'm a self-proclaimed "lazy genius" (lazy people find the easiest way to tackle hard problems, thanks, Bill Gates), so I break down concepts like CRISPR and cloning into fun, one-minute explainers. But Project Dolly isn't just commentary: I run my own research too, most recently a duckweed-based space agriculture study, and I've built an open-source workshop curriculum so other students can get hands-on with this stuff themselves. If you love learning but hate over-complication, welcome.

About Erwin

I'm Erwin, founder of Project Dolly. I'm a high school student with a deep interest in biology and bioengineering, and I started this project because I believe these fields shouldn't be locked behind academic jargon, they're relevant to everyday life, from medical breakthroughs to environmental solutions to how we might feed people on a future space mission.


Project Dolly is where I put that belief into practice. I run my own original research (most recently a 21-day duckweed study on space agriculture and closed-loop life support), translate it and other bioengineering topics into fun, accessible content, and built an open-source workshop curriculum so other students and educators can teach this material hands-on, no lab required. My goal is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge science and everyday experience, and to get more people excited about what bioengineering can actually do.
