SILVER MEDAL REQUIREMENTS
Our team has tackled many important questions that extend outside of the lab this year. Many of these address ethics, safety and sustainability. Safety is a huge component in our project, not only in our participation in iGEM, but also in planning the implementation of our project in future years. For our achievements regarding safety:
- We visited local wastewater treatment facilities and spoke to individuals at a local water summit, to learn about the various types of systems within plants and the existing keratin waste removal methods. While planning the implementation of our construct, we designed a bioreactor based on these systems to make it easier to implement.
- We have also put in a lot of thought about the ethical implications of our project. We plan to create an ethics review board and have spread awareness about ethics and safety by publishing a perspectives paper in an online student journal called Biotreks.
- Through numerous presentations, showcases, and summits within our community, we have spread awareness about our project to the public.
- While we view the ethical concerns of our project from a student standpoint, we also have to take in consideration a faith perspective. Being a Catholic high school we have to ensure that our project follows the beliefs of the Catholic Church.
