+ | We had the excellent opportunity to help shape the innovative initiative facilitated by a National Science Foundation grant. Science museums across the nation were extended the opportunity to develop programming focused on the burgeoning field of synthetic biology. The initiative aimed to stimulate/be a <b>catalyst for community dialogue around a topic at risk for public scorn.</b> Through facilitating new and challenging conversations regarding the simplest (microbial diversity) to potentially most controversial (applied synbio in therapeutics and the environment) aspects of genetic engineering, <b>our team tackled a new mode of connecting the local community to the future implications of synthetic biology and genetic engineering technologies.</b> | ||
