Human Practices

This year we went above and beyond to understand how our communities are evolving with developing genetic technologies.

Interviews

Our team sought to create a dialogue with individuals of various backgrounds to understand how the technology developed in this project and other gene editing tools will affect and be affected by them.

Bioinformatics Workshop

We introduced high school students to everything from ethics and genetics to university life and programs at UofT. We emphasised the real world applications of everything students learned with us that day and it proved successful.

Podcast // Synversations

On our inaugural season of Synversations we talk to grad students, religious figures, community leaders, and many more to understand how biotechnology would affect their communities and to clear up some misconceptions about it.

Icon-a-thon

In the hopes of educating a typically scientifically uneducated public and to address a lack of biotechnology related icons we hosted a day long Icon-a-thon. The unique and attractive icons can be found in the wiki and are a testament to the need for diverse ways of reaching out to the public.

Guide

Using the recommendations made by the Committee on Human Gene Editing, we created an ethical guideline for iGEM teams to design their projects and public engagement initiatives.
