SUMMARY:Art's Work in the Age of Biotechnology: Shaping Our Genetic Future Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Art’s Work in the Age of Biotechnology: Shaping Our Genetic Futures\nOctober 17\, 2019 – March 15\, 2020\nGregg Museum of Art & Design and NC State University Libraries\nAre scientists and engineers in charge of the future\, or do artists have a role\, too? What happens when artists appropriate the scientific tools and techniques of modern biotechnology?\nA joint exhibition between the Genetic Engineering and Society (GES) Center and NC State University Libraries. \n\nArt’s Work in the Age of Biotechnology: Shaping Our Genetic Futures (Art’s Work/Genetic Futures) is an art-science exhibit and symposium of artists\, scientists\, and humanities scholars\, led by the NC State University Libraries and the Genetic Engineering and Society (GES) Center\, held at the Gregg Museum of Art & Design\, the physical and digital display spaces of the University Libraries\, and the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA). These activities will elicit discussion about genetics in society through the lens of contemporary art and offer viewers new ways to think about their role in the genetic revolution. \nBy combining science and art and design\, the artists\, and artworks chosen for display contextualize genetic engineering by bringing it out of the lab and into public places; challenging viewer’s understandings about the human condition\, the material of our bodies\, and the consequences of biotechnology. The exhibits\, integrated curriculum\, and cross-campus dialogues will raise awareness and discussion about biotechnologies and their consequences in our society while drawing in art practices for reaching new communities. \nDetails and related events at go.ncsu.edu/artswork\n

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Bennett - Synthetic biology and biodiversity conservation | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:GES Colloquium Home  |  GES Colloquium MediaSite Live-Stream  |  YouTube Library (Past Colloquia) \nSynthetic biology and biodiversity conservation\nSpeaker: Elizabeth Bennett\, Ph.D.\, Vice President of Species Conservation at Wildlife Conservation Society\nResearchGate | Email | Twitter: @lizwcs \nAbstract\nSynthetic biology has many implications\, both potentially positive and potentially negative\, for biodiversity conservation. This includes both synthetic biology applications specifically intended to enhance biodiversity conservation\, and those intended for other purposes (e.g.\, medicine\, agriculture) that might also impact biodiversity. This talk examines the topic\, focusing mainly on applications intended to enhance species conservation\, with specific real-world examples of where they might be applied\, and their potential pros and cons. \nRelated publication:\nGenetic frontiers for conservation: an assessment of synthetic biology and biodiversity conservation.\nRedford\, KH\, Brooks\, TH\, Macfarlane\, NBW and Adams\, JS. 2019.

She received her Ph.D. from Cambridge University\, UK\, for research on the ecology of primates in Peninsular Malaysia. She moved to Sarawak\, Malaysia\, in 1984\, and worked there for the next 18 years. This included conducting the first ever detailed field study of the proboscis monkey\, and studies of the effects of hunting and logging on wildlife. Her time in Sarawak culminated in her leading a team\, with WCS and Sarawak Government staff\, to write a comprehensive wildlife policy for the State\, and subsequently to head a unit within the Government to oversee its implementation. She then became Director\, Hunting and Wildlife Trade Program at WCS. This included working with WCS field staff to develop strategies to address the bushmeat trade in Central Africa and illegal wildlife trade in China. Her current role involves overseeing WCS’s species conservation programs globally. She has more than 130 scientific and popular publications. Her services to conservation have been recognized by her being awarded the “Golden Ark” award by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands\, “Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire” (MBE) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II\, D.Sc. (honoris causa) by Nottingham University\, and and Merdeka Award for Outstanding Contribution to the People of Malaysia.
