Just published! In this book, Jane Calvert (of @UoE_STIS and @uoessps) draws on over a decade of social scientific work on synthetic biology to ask: where does #STS belong? Available Open Access on @mitpress website
📘 A Place for Science and Technology Studies
✍ Jane Calvert
An exploration of science and technology studies in eight different places, and the possibilities that arise for observation, intervention, and collaboration. Available #OpenAccess.

Very inspiring talk by Rob Smith @rdjs_is on building strong capabilities for responsible research & innovation (#RRI) in #SynBio @EFBiotechnology @EFB_EBBS #ASBEVI #laboratory work & manipulations are just the tip of the iceberg in #SynBio!

The University of Western Australia has started a process to shut SymbioticA down and we have 8 working days to make a case as to why it should continue. We welcome letters of support. DM with your email address if interested. #savesymbiotica

I'm chatting about what it means to write genomes for @futureorganisms, including the metaphors used to justify biotech innovations. 🐉📖🤖
It's a public talk for @Gene_Writers later today, 6-8pm CDT. You can stream or rewatch here:

organism as bioreactor
organism as expert
organism as dataset
organism as Lego set
organism as model system
organism as sensor
organism as stepping stone
organism as commercial product
These are some of the ways that scientists use organisms in #SyntheticGenomics research. FMI👇
🚨 pub alert!
We're interested in the shift from parts-based to whole-genome, whole-organism engineering.
To study this, we ask: what can the role of the organism tell us about the shift towards genome-based engineering? Check out our first paper here:

I am pleased that innovation funding is being recognized as key to 🇨🇦's future. While deeply concerned about the lack of investment in tri-agency funding for earlier stages, investment is needed across all stages. Good start, more needed.

As usual, #GPWrite2021 has been very USA-focused, but at least the @GP_write team chose some 3min lightning talks from outside their borders. Here’s a shot of @futureorganisms announcing their UK-US-Japan project.

Then, into timezone 3 with a panel from @EngineerLife_ , @futureorganisms , @koicox, @nikivermeulen, @ErikaSzymanski, @stevesturdy and many more on Alternative Practices for #RRI in the UK and Japan. (w/illstration from @AnaisMoisy!)
