==Synthetic Biology - Opportunities for interdisciplinary Research from Biology to Engineering==

In June, we attended an interdisciplinary symposium were we presented our project to a broad spectrum of scientists. The following discussions lead to a huge amount of feedback on our molecular and bioreactor design.

Furthermore, we recorded several interviews with speakers as well as guests of the symposium, including the keynote speaker Jay Keasling. Apart from project related questions, we mainly asked them about their opinion on open science in the context of education and the growing European Community Lab scene. Below you will find representative clips of the mentioned interviews:

“

It's going to be very hard to keep people from getting access [...]. They're doing it in their garages now. We have to think about how we train people and how we talk about it.

”

-In June, we were invited to a symposium called '''''Synthetic Biology - Opportunities for interdisciplinary Research from Biology to Engineering'''''. We gladly accepted and presented our project to a broad spectrum of scientists. The following discussions lead to a huge amount of feedback on our bioreactor as well as our biological project.
+Furthermore, we recorded several interviews with speakers as well as guests of the symposium, including the keynote speaker [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Keasling Jay Keasling].

-In addition, we were extremely lucky to not only discuss our project, but also get an interview with the keynote speaker of this conference, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Keasling Jay Keasling]. Subsequently, we recorded several conversations with other speakers as well as guests of the symposium. On the one hand, these interviews touched some general questions about the progress and perception of synthetic biology. On the other hand, the main topic was the risks and benefits of community labs. As a result, we gathered a wide spectrum of opinions, which contributed to and influenced our human practices project.
