genomikon
Synthetic biology is a young field of research and development, and it is for this reason that there has been a lot of confusion about it. It's influence is also growing, and it is important that upcoming generation are informed and prepared to make decisions regarding its presence in science, industry, and society. This project seeks to tackle this problem in an effective way.
