I'm a bit miffed that I only got the email about this half an hour ago, but at long last, our antiSMASH 8 paper is out.

Dear Synbio community. We are looking for books, YouTube channels, websites etc that is targeted for layman audiences to provide explanations for what we do. If you know of any such resources could you please provide it in this thread? Maybe we can all use links to such resources for our students🧪
