This talk explores the ways that STS researchers have helped shape the development of gene drives\, drawing out the various roles they have had and how those roles have and have not advanced a research and policy agenda that favors attention to technologies of humility: contrasting framings\, the distribution of benefits and harms\, the capabilities of vulnerable populations to be heard and responded to\, and the potential for institutionalized learning over time. \nSpeaker Bio\nDr. Sam Weiss Evans is a Lecturer and Research Associate at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, a Research Fellow in Harvard’s Program on Science\, Technology\, and Society at the John F. Kennedy School of Government\, a Research Affiliate in the Program on Emerging Technology at the Center for International Studies at MIT\, and a Research Affiliate at the University of Cambridge’s Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. Sam is worried that security is thought about too much by people who just think about security\, and not enough by people who don’t. How are decisions made about what areas of science and technology become objects of security concerns? How are decisions about whether something is a threat tied to our ways of managing\, or ignoring\, that [non-]threat? These are some of the questions Sam likes to ask. Other questions focus on the relationship between people like him—Science and Technology Studies researchers—and the people whom he works with and studies. What is the appropriate amount of critical distance to be able to see the context of an environment clearly while still being close enough to the action to have some influence on it? Sam loves trying out different answers to these questions and learning from them. He also loves learning from you. \n\nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Dawn Rodriguez-Ward and Jen Baltzegar\, who you may contact with any class-specific questions. As conditions allow\, colloquium will be held in-person in Poe 202\, as well as live-streamed via Zoom.

How am I supposed to communicate uncertainty and complexity in a media interview? How do I train my students to think about traditional and social media when it’s not an area of strength for me? In this workshop\, we will work on our media skills and consider how best to mentor our students to succeed in this aspect of science communication. One workshop presenter is a scientist who has had amazing success in communicating her work in many types of traditional and social media; the other works in NC State’s public relations office to promote our science and research findings to media outlets. \nFacilitators\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n Dr. Katie Mack is an Assistant Professor of Physics\, a member of the Leadership in Public Science Cluster\, and author of The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking). email | profile \n \n Matt Shipman is a Research Communications Lead\, member of the Leadership in Public Science cluster\, and author of the Handbook for Science Public Information Officers. email | profile \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nThis monthly workshop series is designed to train MBTP faculty to better mentor students at the intersection of biotechnology and society\, in cooperation with the Genetic Engineering and Society Center and the Genetics and Genomics Initiative.
