| Since our initial gathering, we have discussed the issues of safety, security and ethics that come forward when dealing with recombinant DNA technologies. As individuals drawn towards this topic through the internet meme's of Jason Bobe and Mackenzie Cowell's DIY-Bio community and various other hackerspace movements such as the makerfaire model. We get to watch as some in the scientific community hold the idea of non-institutional involvement at arms length. To counteract these concerns I have been in contact with iGEM security directorate Griffin from the beginning. At his suggestion we hosted a discussion with Michelle Williams of National Journal and William You, WMD Director of the FBI here in DC, only days after he attended the Woodrow Wilson Center's Synthetic Biology forum. http://burnafterreading.nationaljournal.com/2010/05/citizen-scientists-attract-fbi.php | |
