The Genetic Engineering and Society 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.
What is good science communication? How do we talk about our research program and our findings with different kinds of people? How can listening to stakeholders and relevant communities inform and improve our science?
A discussion of the key ethical considerations in the governance of CRISPR technologies for agriculture and the environment, including for gene-edited plants and gene drive organisms.
Addressing the energy problem of greenhouse agriculture
A presentation of data on using gene addition and gene editing technology to treat patients with sickle cell disease and transfusion dependent beta thalassemia.
The Genome Writers Guild asks the question: How do we promote responsible use of genome engineering?
This workshop will explore the motivations and techniques of public engagement with a particular eye toward how we mentor our graduate students to begin to learn these skills early in their career.
This presentation will explore the challenges to agricultural sustainability associated with technology driven agricultural intensification.
Bacteria that live on leaf surfaces play important roles ranging from global precipitation to plant health
Gene editing as a tool for agricultural diversification: perspectives from a multi-sector deliberative group.
How Pew's approaches increase the likelihood that research is applied in real world conservation decisions.
In this workshop, we will explore how to engage with our students about the challenges and opportunities of doing science in the public interest.
