Human Practices

The principle:

Apart from developing and working on a scientific project in the lab, iGEM teams are encouraged to “look into the mirror” and to understand what others think about their project. This can range from thoughts about actual applications of the project to a general view on synthetic biology.

 

Our iGEM team tried to address the aspect of human practices by approaching it from both sides.

Silver:

On the one hand, we interacted with several completely different communities by introducing our project and the idea of iGEM at various opportunities. Those ranged from a poster presentation to new master students and a Bio&Pretzel presentation to presentations for professional scientists at the GZMB summer festival and a symposium in Aachen, Germany.

.

Gold:

When non-scientists hear about “synthetic biology” they often express doubts and fears. To improve the view on synthetic biology, to promote its many uses and even increase the interest in synthetic biology in the general public, we participated in the postcard collaboration proposed by the iGEM team Düsseldorf.

Engagement:

iGEM teams are leading in the area of Human Practices because they conduct their projects within a social/environmental context, to better understand issues that might influence the design and use of their technologies.

Teams work with students and advisors from the humanities and social sciences to explore topics concerning ethical, legal, social, economic, safety or security issues related to their work. Consideration of these Human Practices is crucial for building safe and sustainable projects that serve the public interest.

For more information, please see the Human Practices Hub.
