One System (OS) is a decentralized network of microbiology laboratories that facilitates research, develops educational resources, and incubates consumer products. OS is a 📝virtual corporation of 📝One Inc and stands at the intersection of science, communication, and culture.
OS cultivates interdisciplinary collaboration in service to the exploration and education of complex biological systems that unite all species and environments.
OS practices and teaches 📝Systems Thinking and 📝Open Innovation. It cultivates community and maintains the dimensionality of new insights in partnership with 📝MythOS and 📝One+ (a 📝Digital Aristotle). The OS 📝consortium looks to further the ideas and works of those like 📝Lynn Margulis—such as the 📝Gaia Principle, 📝Symbiotic Earth, Symbiogenetics, etc.
Offerings
OS produces a range of offerings that serve citizen scientists, doctoral students in microbiology, teachers in the K-12 system, and students from the elementary grades through high school.
When the OS network is fully realized, it will produce and offer:
- Products (books, fungi, nutrients, lab supplies, test kits)
- Lab Services (analytical services, yeast banking, product consulting)

Reflections
