Synthetic Biology in Policies and Practices

Policies and Practices is the study of how your work affects the world, and how the world affects your work." -Peter Carr, Director of Judging

The Carnegie Mellon University 2014 iGEM team spent hundreds of hours teaching students, teachers, and community members. We collaborated with other teams to heighten awareness of synthetic biology and promote a scientific interface between the lab and society.

Our Greatest Achievements

  • Created the SynBio Educational Series, kits that will be distributed through DNAZone (www.cmu.edu/cnast/outreach-dnazone/) for K-12 students in the Pittsburgh area, and beta-tested with another 350 students and teachers in other US cities and in Bolivia

  • Interviewed a world expert on remediation techniques used to eliminate estrogenic compounds in water, the director of the Center for PostNatural History, and a PhD Reverend on bioethics and genetic engineering

  • Hosted our first iGEM Meetup which was attended by five teams from the Midwest and Northeast and collaborated with two teams in modeling and human practices
