Animal Practices
Animal practices are quite varied. Applying and testing the effectiveness of the engineered bacteria on a variety of animals using a slew of different delivery methods (mostly food) would be the first step. Current possible animals include dogs, horses and cows.
Making a Difference:
We chose to look into the ethical considerations that are at the forefront of synthetic biology. With this in mind, we will be visiting a local high school to present our results and discuss the ethical issues involved in the field of synthetic biology. We will conduct a survey and present the results in the Jamboree.
