Synthetic biology is still a poorly understood tool by the public at large and even students. Working at NASA, our team had the additional responsibility of educating Agency officials and other members of the federal government. To this end, our outreach this summer included participation in the
Bay Area Maker Faire and the World Maker Faire, New York, Brown University's 250th open house and NASA Ames 75th anniversary open house,
a visit by the University of California iGEM team,
collaborations with the California Academy of Sciences,
contributions to the iGEM Newsletter,
participation in the Stanford research experiences for undergraduates (REU) program
and the Stanford high school program,
presentations to DNA2.0
and the NorCal Meetup at the University of California Santa Cruz,
The team hosted visits by
Congressman Ami Bera of California’s 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives,
NASA Ames Center Director S. Pete Worden,
NASA Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan,
NASA Chief Technologist David Miller and staff, and
Dr. Barry Groves, Superintendent of Mountain View/Los Altos School District and his staff.
