This summer we investigated how we might leverage biotechnology to raise awareness and accountability around triclosan use specifically and around responsible chemical use at large. After exploring our problem space we realized that any device we built for the detection of triclosan would be but one node in a complex web of social, political and industrial interactions. | This summer we investigated how we might leverage biotechnology to raise awareness and accountability around triclosan use specifically and around responsible chemical use at large.

The project consists of three components: the triclosan biosensor, a hands-on lesson plan, and chemical a footprint app that together are an integrated solution to help pave the way to a more sustainable future.</font> </p> | The project consists of three components: the triclosan biosensor, a hands-on lesson plan, and chemical a footprint app that together are an integrated solution to help pave the way to a more sustainable future.</font> </p> | ||
