On a tangential note: I've seen the upcoming rise of Syn Bio for quite some time now. But I've never figured out, how to participate / help its growth as a pure SWE.

Job offers related to that field require a skill stack, that I have zero investment in. I'm also in my thirties, so starting from scratch isn't really an option. Someone else here from a similar background, who managed to get a foot into the Syn Bio industry?

edit: Should have mentioned, I'm currently living in Europe. Although I might give that up in order to break into the industry.
