Greg's Presentation: Part 1
Submitted by Paul Tiffany (not verified) on Wed, 06/24/2009 - 13:08Greg provides a roadmap for the Center's new multi-year project.
It's not seeking to provide answers. Contributors are bound to provide answers, but the project is not seeking to select answers. It will seek to organize, but not squelch, a growing community of voices, shaped by scientific leaders in synthetic biology.
The project will produce products like books, essays, presentations in synthetic bioethics and work with journalists.
Greg emphasizes that we should pay respect to all voices. The project aims to create a working group for synthetic bioethics, much in the way Teme creates a working group for undergraduates in information technology. The project will have scholarships, so we'll certainly set up integration for the project and the Teme Foundation!
