Human Practices
Overview
Colorful iGEM. Colors illustrate diversity, opinions, hopes and concerns. Combining colors in a positive way can give rise to beautiful images. Towards our vision of a healthier, greener and sustainable world, our science is only one dot in the image. We must consider the complex interplay of colors: Reach out, listen, talk and educate. In this spirit, we first hosted an inspiring public lecture by Kevin Esvelt, the inventor of PACE, sharing his vision of truly socio-scientific projects in context of CRISPR gene drives. Then, we went to TEDx Heidelberg, engaged with the people via the game “evolutionary wheel-of-fortune” we created and discussed their hopes and concerns. In addition, we worked intensively with the next generation of scientists, our high school students. Here, we spread the news on synthetic biology in an iGEM seminar at a local high school and hosted a school class from Berlin for a course on responsible genetic engineering in our lab. For public outreach, we created a set of both educating and entertaining videos bringing the concept of evolution and our project of accelerated, directed evolution right to the interested public community.
