Curly'on - IGEM 2014 INSA-LYON

This Human Practice section aims at explaining the synthetic biology field as a compromise between science and society.
Our approach includes an international survey aiming at understanding the perception of synthetic biology and the impact of our biotechnology project by the public opinion. We insist on the historical approach of biology in Lyon (France) because it's an example of how population and scientists co-build science, technology, health and environment within a society.
