| '''There are (at least) three main types of events we might consider:'''
| | ==Archive== |
| * A public forum/seminar (See 'wonder dialogues', we have a hold on the David Brower Center in Berkeley - 180 person capacity - for Nov 1st)
| | [[SBPWG:Discussion/Bay_Area_Science_Festival | Bay Area Science Festival]] |
| * A hand-on carnival-style event with hands-on activities/demos (See 'Discovery Days' - a huge carnival being run at AT&T park on Nov 6th)
| |
| * A science cafe - an informal discussion with a scientist at a bar/cafe (See the 'science pub crawl' being run on Nov 4th)
| |
| | |
| We might first explore a public forum event, as we have to act quickly on this if we'd like to keep the date/space. At the last working group meeting there was some ideas about how to make a forum more fun and interactive than a normal lecture format, such as making it into a 'game show'. (Megan Palmer)

| June 1st: Teleconference Brainstorming Ideas for the Festival
| |
| | |
| '''Teleconference attendees:'''
| |
| *Megan Palmer
| |
| *Connie Lee
| |
| *Mike Fisher
| |
| *Danielle Ercek
| |
| *Jay Vowles
| |
| | |
| =====Public Forum Event v1=====
| |
| | |
| '''Please edit below with suggested speakers, topics and formats. Don't worry about changing things on this page - we can always revert to previous versions! Please also LIST YOUR NAME ALONGSIDE CHANGES so it is easy to track changes'''
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Format General'''
| |
| * option 1: start with short presentations from ~6 (?) speakers introducing synthetic biology basics, applications, promises/myths, social/ethical dimensions etc , then break out into individual rooms for more intimate q&a with the speakers (Megan Palmer)
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Format Option 1 v1''' (Megan Palmer)
| |
| | |
| I'm organizing as individual speakers/topics, but this could we have fewer speakers each talking about a subset of these topics (especially for the intro). Please feel free to change topics/ordering etc and suggest speakers who might be appropriate
| |
| | |
| *Speaker/Topic 1: Why do we want to engineer/build with biology?
| |
| *Speaker/Topic 2: What types of things are we building now? What types of things do we hope to build?
| |
| *Speaker/Topic 3: How do we go about building/engineering biology? Philosophies and approaches (Top-Down, Bottom-Up)
| |
| *Speaker/Topic 4: Who is building? (Highlight labs, industry, iGEM, DIY community)
| |
| *Speaker/Topic 5: What are some of the perceived risks, and how are we working to address them? (could couple a science writer with a scientist?)
| |
| *Speaker/Topic 6: What are some of the next big challenges?
| |
| *Speaker/Topic 7: How can YOU get involved, learn more etc? (i.e. So you wanna be a biological engineer??)
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Possible Speakers'''
| |
| * Drew Endy (Megan Palmer)
| |
| * Jay Keasling (can't make it)
| |
| * Andrew Hessell (Megan P)
| |
| * Eri Gentry or others from Biocurious/DIY community (perhaps the folks from open PCR?)
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Title/Framing Brainstorming'''
| |
| * Synthetic Biology: a beginner's guide to building with biology (Megan Palmer)
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Notes/Comments'''
| |
| * It would be ideal to videotape presentations and get copies of materials that could be shared widely (for example, via uploading onto the SynBERC website) (Megan Palmer)
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Examples/Materials of Other 'Synthetic Biology 101' Resources, Presentations etc to learn from'''
| |
| * [http://www.ars-synthetica.net/primer Ars Synthetic Synthetic Biology Primer] (Megan P)
| |
| * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niQ0kkgPxJk Andrew Hessell's Synthetic Biology Talk at Singularity University] (Megan P)
| |
| * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtADBcxWpVg KQED Quest Video] (Megan P - this is a pretty great intro)
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Additional Brainstorming'''
| |
| * We might also consider doing a video followed by discussion. For example, following a viewing of the [http://www.fieldtest.us/bio/videos/ synthetic biology documentary]
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Other Possible Topics/Framings'''
| |
| * Life as we don't know it (Megan Palmer)
| |
| * Creating life: What can we do? What should we do? (Megan Palmer)
| |
| * Science Speed Dating (from group call June 1st) - have people go between rooms with different scientists
| |
| * Design your own microbe (Megan)
| |
| * Moderated panel discussion between scientists, ethicists, news people, govt officials / FBI ? (Megan)
| |
| * Mini iGEM Jamboree (Megan)
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Comments/Notes'''
| |
| * The iGEM world finals are Nov 5-7 at MIT so may conflict with some events
