Human Practices
What is 'human practices'?
As a team we wanted to analyse and address the society’s relationship with science, and more specifically, synthetic biology.
After researching society’s views on synthetic biology we perceived four important problems that we could solve:
1. Cooperation between scientists is lacking.
2. The public does not perceive synthetic biology to be safe.
3. The key skills required for synthetic biology can be intimidating.
4. The general public are not as engaged as they should be.
