Human Practices

In investigating the feasibility of improved biorefineries, we believe that it is not enough to simply show that the biology can work. The project must also be economically viable, and a practical design for a biorefinery must be created. For this, see the biorefinery page.

Secondly, the broader social implications of the project must be considered. We have made contact with and interviewed a number of different experts from various fields: environmentalism, business, academia, politics, and the Church. We hope to open a discourse related to the field of Synthetic Biology in Scotland. For this, see the interviews page.
