Podcasts

We decided to divide the Ethics component of our project into 2 sections: a paper that focuses on the ethical implications of our project, and a series of podcasts that analyze the benefits and consequences of the new and emerging field of Synthetic Biology. Currently, our series of podcasts consists of three episodes: Synthetic Life, The Consequences of Open Source Biology and Genetically Modified Foods. We have covered content in these podcasts and targeted them at the general public in the hopes of raising awareness, clearing up misconceptions, and educating others about the field of Synthetic Biology. We felt this was necessary after reading some of the reactions the public had in regards to Craig Venter’s ‘creation’ of synthetic life this summer. The podcasts offer unbiased and easy to understand subject matter presented in a very interactive manner.
