Our Presentation for the UK Gathering at Newcastle

Questions

Questions asked about our presentation:

Would this project require us to change the strength of the filamentous cells in relation to different types of concrete?
What is the strength of filamentous cells? How do filamentous cells actually help to fill up the cracks?
How can repairing microcracks in concrete help to prevent a building collapsing in an earthquake?

For answers to these questions see Deena's concrete lecture

-=='''Ethics'''==
+====Presentation====
-===Synthetic Biology: Background===
+[[Media:Final presentation 8.0!.pdf|Our Presentation for the UK Gathering at Newcastle]]
-Synthetic biology is a new research field that has a big potential in coming up with solutions for our everyday life. However, ethical issues have been raised since the start of development in this field. Here we discuss about the ethical issues that our project would bring.
+====Questions====
-====Biohackers====
+Questions asked about our presentation:
-In this field, there are always people that use synthetic biology in a negative aspect, like producing pathogens to be used as weapons to kill. They hack into systems to obtain data that might be useful for their research to aid in their work. Therefore, we have to be very careful with the products of our research so that they remain safe in our hands.

-====Playing God====
+# How can repairing microcracks in concrete help to prevent a building collapsing in an earthquake?
-In synthetic biology, we control the lives of bacteria. We insert proteins into bacteria to quote for everything that we want them to do. We make them kill themselves at the end of their job because they might be released into the environment and be harmful to other living things. It shows that we do not really treat the single-celled organism as life. However, we are coming up with a novel solution for the environment by healing concrete cracks.
+For answers to these questions see [[Media:Concrete.pdf|Deena's concrete lecture]]
-====Biosecurity====
+==Attribution and Contribution==
-Bacteria might be harmful to the environment and living things around. Considering the fact that they are such small organisms and could not be spotted with the naked-eye if they are released in air, we make them kill themselves with the ‘kill switch’ biobrick. This can be very inconsiderate standing in a bacteria’s point of view, but it is the novel thing to do to avoid them hurting other living organisms.
