Our ancestors relied on careful breeding schemes and sometimes several generations worth of record-keeping. Today\, we can manipulate the DNA sequence of functionally any organism with single base-pair resolution. This sudden step-change in capabilities brings with it two similar but crucially different questions: How do we ensure that we use this technology responsibly? How do we ensure that this technology is actually used to benefit society? The Genome Writers Guild was founded to help address these questions by bringing together viewpoints from scientists\, regulators\, companies\, stakeholders\, patients\, and the general public. These dialogues bring the concept of genetic engineering to the public\, lead scientists to understand what the public would like to see done\, and help clarify regulatory pathways early in development. \nRelated links:\n\nhttp://genomewritersguild.org/\n\nSpeaker Bio\nAdam Sychla is a 4th year PhD student at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in Biochemistry\, Molecular Biology\, and Biophysics. He is President of the Genome Writers Guild and Chair of the Journal of Young Investigators. His research can be broadly described as applying directed genetic and epigenetic manipulation to answer questions in basic biology and to engineer applied systems. He has work in plant\, insect\, mammalian\, and viral systems. He received his BS at Ohio State University in Physics and Molecular Biology. \n\nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Jen Baltzegar and Sumit Dhole\, 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 (at least January will be 100% virtual).

Why do some scientists make it a priority? What are the challenges\, benefits\, and strategies of public engagement. 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. \nFacilitators\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n Dr. Katie Barnhill-Dilling is a Senior Research Scholar with the GES Center and the newest member of our Executive Committee. email | profile \n \n Dr. Steve Frank is a Professor\, Ecology and IPM in urban landscapes\, nurseries\, and greenhouses and director of the Frank Lab in the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology. 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.
