This panel will explore the advancement of biotechnology education through entry-level technologies, such as Rapid DNA Prototyping (RDP) Kits, #ScienceHacks (sciencehack.synbiota.com), the Synbiota platform (synbiota.com), as well as other citizen science initiatives in synthetic biology. The panelists will explore the implications for security and education as these technologies enter the workplaces and minds of newbie scientists.
Novice-welcoming synbio and biohacker projects that get science enthusiasts “learning by doing” have dramatically transformed the shape of the potential future scientist’s gateway into synthetic biology, and have influenced the direction of regulatory and policy making efforts. At the same time, they have extended and enriched the toolkits of traditional researchers in exciting scientific cases that will be explored.
