Guided by curiosity we tried to establish a public dialogue beyond the lab on the societal issues on the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. We met public and stakeholders and tried to combine their contributions. | Guided by curiosity we tried to establish a public dialogue beyond the lab on the societal issues on the CRISPR/Cas9 technology.

We wanted for everyone the possibility to express an opinion over science. Everyone should be able to question Synthetic Biology, either if you're a professional or a citizen. This is even more true with the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The ethical question behind is so big that every citizen should be involved. | We wanted for everyone the possibility to express an opinion over science.

To learn more about it, see our researches on [[Team:Paris_Saclay/HP/Gold|Responsible Research and Innovation]]. When we asked to 18 teams to fill this test we saw how much inclusiveness is important among iGEM teams. |

In order to do so, we did a [[Team:Paris_Saclay/HP/Silver#Synthetic_Biology_Survey|survey]] to know how much people knew about synthetic biology and CRISPR/Cas9 and what were their feelings about it. We also made a vox pop [[Team:Paris_Saclay/HP/Silver#Vox_Pop|vox pop]] for the same reasons. Thus we explained more what these techniques represent through many exhibitions like the one at the Festival Vivant and the Nanterre University. | |

We conducted many interviews with people working with the CRISPR/Cas9 technology and we saw a lot of variation between the opinion of scientists in general and scientists working specifically with the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. |

Our lecturers were Jean-Denis Faure, professor at AgroParisTech and Pierre Walrafen, patent Attorney. |
