SUMMARY:Katie Barnhill - Is the Spirit of Asilomar Still Haunting Biotechnology? | Hybrid | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | LinkedIn | Newsletter \nSPRING SEMINAR SERIES\nIs the Spirit of Asilomar Still Haunting Biotechnology?\nWithers 331 + Zoom | An overview and analysis of my experience at the 2025 The Spirit of Asilomar and the Future of Biotechnology Summit \n\nDownload seminar flyer\n\nKatie Barnhill\, PhD\nAssociate Director of Programs and Engagement\, GES Center\, NC State University | Profile | LinkedIn \nDr. Katie Barnhill is the Associate Director of Programs and Engagement for the Genetic Engineering and Society Center. As an interdisciplinary social scientist\, Katie integrates experience and training in environmental science\, policy\, and governance with the critical tools of science\, technology\, and society studies. She uses these tools to organize\, facilitate\, and empirically study stakeholder engagement activities such as workshops to create justice-oriented and inclusive decision-making spaces about the potential use of biotechnology tools that may be released into shared environments. \nAbstract\nSince the 1975 Asilomar Conference\, where experts gathered to discuss what to do about then-new production of recombinant DNA molecules\, much ink has been spilled about the successes\, failures\, and disruptions (or not) of the summit itself. 50 years after the now-famous Asilomar Conference\, science historians organized a follow up summit\, providing “an opportunity to reconvene and look towards the future\, [but] the summit’s aim [was] to grapple with the past — aware of its accomplishments\, limitations\, and failures — so as to better engage with the issues of the present.” So\, how did it go? For this presentation\, I will reflect on my experience at the summit as a participant and fundamentally pose the question\, is the Spirit of Asilomar still haunting biotechnology? \nRelated links: \n\nThe Spirit of Asilomar and the Future of Biotechnology Summit\n\n\nThe 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. \nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Katie Barnhill and Nourou Barry\, and we’re featuring a mostly student-led seminar series. Students will be taking the lead in identifying\, inviting\, and hosting most of the speakers\, providing a great opportunity for them to build their networks and grow as professionals. \nTo support their efforts\, we encourage you to join our in-person seminars\, which will now take place in Withers 331. Your presence makes a big difference in creating a supportive environment for our students. \nRemember\, 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. \nPlease subscribe to the GES newsletter and LinkedIn for updates. \n
