                    The aim of science and synthetic biology in particular is to <b>improve lives by solving problems</b>. We as researchers (-to-be) are therefore working for society. Yet, we can only offer solutions, which have to be approved and applied by the public.

Thus, synthetic biology in general and our project in particular have implications for every individual, as we are all <b>interdependent</b>. Everyone, may he or she be a scientist or not, has an equally valuable opinion about synthetic biology.
-
                            <div class="panel-body"> When we searched for a definition of „Human Practices“ on the internet and in various books we did not obtain a concrete result. However, we found several key words that appeared in outstanding frequency: “Communication”, “Information”, “Abstraction” and “Interdependency”. This would for sure match the ideas of Paul Rabinow and Gaymonn Bennett, founders of the Human Practices division of the Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (synberc) and authors of “Designing Human Practices”.
+
<br />
-
                            Following those four – admittedly, diverse – keywords, we <i>“designed”</i> our very own Human Practices advance, hoping that we would not have to reject this <i>“experiment”</i>. Hence, we focused on three different approaches: Firstly, an outreach-strategy in which we stimulated interaction between experts, the public and us, where we tried to find an appropriate level of <b>abstraction</b> in order to allow exchange of ideas. Secondly, we enhanced <b>communication</b> about iGEM and our project in the media and press, in order to get more people attracted to our discussions. And thirdly, we propose iGEM42, an <b>information</b>-tool that allows the user to easily discover the expertise and inventiveness that the iGEM-community holds. <br /> <br /><br />
+
<br />
-
                            These three approaches should create interaction with different groups within society, as synthetic biology in general and our project in particular have implications for every individual, as we are all <b>interdependent</b>. Everyone, may he be a scientist or not, has an equally valuable opinion about synthetic biology. What we want to achieve with our Human Practice advance is to open minds, broaden horizons and minimize prejudices and concerns.
+
We as iGEM Team Heidelberg have therefore put great effort in communicating with various groups within society and to engage a <b> broader cross section of society</b> as well as <b> artists </b>and of course <b>the next generation of scientists </b>into our project. We hope to open minds, broaden horizons as well as minimize prejudices and concerns. Additionally, we discussed our ideas with various <b>experts in science and society</b>.

Human Practice. Involving the Public into the Future of Synthetic Biology.

The aim of science and synthetic biology in particular is to improve lives by solving problems. We as researchers (-to-be) are therefore working for society. Yet, we can only offer solutions, which have to be approved and applied by the public. Moreover, national and international legal frameworks limit every scientific action, which again, lie in the hand of the people. Thus, synthetic biology in general and our project in particular have implications for every individual, as we are all interdependent. Everyone, may he or she be a scientist or not, has an equally valuable opinion about synthetic biology.

We as iGEM Team Heidelberg have therefore put great effort in communicating with various groups within society and to engage a broader cross section of society as well as artists and of course the next generation of scientists into our project. We hope to open minds, broaden horizons as well as minimize prejudices and concerns. Additionally, we discussed our ideas with various experts in science and society.

Read about our experiences and the valuable and encouraging feedback we received over the past month by selecting one of the groups below. We further summarized our experiences and ethical considerations in an essay.

Experts

We discussed our project with experts from various fields including scientific and public safety, chemical peptide synthesis, gold recycling and redox chemistry. Find out more about the valuable feedback we recieved on our ideas!

Read more

Broad Public

By engaging a broader cross section of society, we want to open up minds, broaden horizons as well as minimize prejudices and concerns towards synthetic biology. Additionally, we had great fun raising interest in our project!

Find out more See Survey

Young Generation

We involved the young generation to a special extent in our project, as they are the future of this society and future scientists. Childish curiosity is a crucial trait of a good researcher, isn't it?

Discover more

Arts and Science

Artists observe our world in sensitive way that distinguishes them from others. We had the unique opportunity to work with a group of inspiring artists from all around the world.

See more

Perception

Raising public interest in synthetic biology and one's project is crucial for the acceptance and thus fate of novel technologies. Media plays a special role in reflecting and shaping public opnions.

iGEM42

We have created a knowledge-based platform improve information retrieval and analysis of current and former iGEM projects. Have a look at what it takes to develop a great project!

Learn more Use it See Notebook

Beyond Science

Science is not at all as serious as some might think. In contrast, many researchers are talented entertainers. As proof, we have collected some of these treasures and hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Get inspired

Ethics

During our iGEM project, we met many great people, who shared their view on synthetic biology with us. We summarized our experiences in an essay, reflecting on implications and the justification of our project.
