Zoom ONLY | At the 2025 IUCN World Conservation Congress, a proposal to establish a moratorium on gene drive research failed to pass—nearly a decade after the first calls for such a moratorium emerged. Does this outcome signal a shift in global debates over gene drive technologies? This talk will trace how discussions within the IUCN and other international policy arenas have evolved over the past ten years, offering reflections on what this moment reveals about the future of gene drive governance and public discourse. |

Biltmore 2006 + Zoom | Scientific inquiry into the socio-ecological challenges of forced displacement, environmental degradation, and shifting land use requires an interdisciplinary and multi-scalar approach. This research examines the interplay between local ecological knowledge, environmental pressures, human migration, and the broader global economic and political systems that shape these processes. |

Join us for the next Genes & Society RIG meeting on Wed., Nov. 19, at 3:30 PM in Gardner 2321. We’ll reflect on what we discussed in our first meeting and decide on the focus and format of the public-facing event we’ll host in the spring semester. Anyone interested in the intersection of genes and society is welcome to attend! Questions may be directed to Dr. Katie Barnhill at skbarnhi@ncsu.edu. |

Hybrid | Details forthcoming. Note the new location in Biltmore 2006. The Genetic Engineering and Society (GES) Colloquium is a seminar series that brings in speakers to present and stimulate discussion on a variety of topics related to existing and proposed biotechnologies and their place within broader societal changes. GES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Katie Barnhill and Nourou Barry, and the seminars serve as a great opportunity for our students to build their networks and grow as professionals. To support their efforts, we encourage you to join our in-person seminars, which will now take place in Biltmore 2006. Remember, we regularly post colloquium seminars as videos on Panopto and on our GES Lectures podcast, allowing you to revisit or catch up on these recordings at your convenience. Please subscribe to the GES newsletter and LinkedIn for updates. |
