Policy & Practices

Scale-Up: Practicalities of CRISPR Plant Defense

Public Engagement: Survey on attitudes toward gene editing

Education: Outreach to university, high school and elementary school students

You can read detailed descriptions of our outreach activities on the Outreach page.

An iGEM Critique

On the 10-year anniversary of University of Waterloo's participation in iGEM, we decided to reflect on the state of iGEM as an educational and scientific endeavour. We feel that iGEM should either focus on its educational mandate and increase accessibility to the competition or recognize that foundational changes are needed if iGEM aims to have significant scientific impact. You can read the full statement from our 2015 project as An iGEM Critique.

Safety

A summary of the work Waterloo iGEM did to address safety concerns for our 2015 project can be found on the Safety page.

Law and Regulation: Intellectual Property and CRISPR

What should we write about on this page?

On this page, you should write about the Human Practices topics you considered in your project, and document any special activities you did (such as visiting experts, talking to lawmakers, or doing public engagement).
