Cooperation with Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN in progress

GENES AND MACHINES

Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN has been the largest Polish publishing house specializing in science publishing books for over 60 years. It is well-know among tremendous numbers of Polish students thanks to its handbooks. Because we have found out that there is no elementary easy-to-read for high school students book about synthetic biology we decided to create one. The book “Geny I Maszyny “ (Genes and Machines) consists of 13 units presenting all the bases such as systems biology, bioinformatics, biosafety, applications or Do It Yourself Biology. In September the e-book was distributed in high school in the entire country thanks to Wydawnitwo Naukowe PWN and soon it will be available on our synthetic biology hub powered by Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN too.We aimed at the Polish audience as we think that we should start spreading the news and available technologies in our small world- Poland.

SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY-HUB

Launched the last week of September, the Synthetic Biology Hub is a space that we would like to devote to the latest synthetic biology applications and emerging technologies. Just like the e-book it is designed to help polish students to discover the SynBio world even if they are not fluent in English. We aimed to create a polish source of basic information available for people not involved in Life Science. As the e-book is thought to rather be a handbook, the hub is rather for people to read easily during their lunchtime and get amused. The project is going to be continued throughout the next year.
