Title: Practical Perspectives on Programming the Practice of Synthetic Biology

Speaker: Drew Endy

Overview: Work and dreaming under the broad label "synthetic biology" stimulates and sustains many conversations regarding known or imagined outcomes. Rarely these conversations coalesce into an implicit or explicit (re)shaping of tools that prescribe or bias what is expected of individual or group actions. I'll use examples (e.g., DNA synthesis screening guidelines, RAC guidelines update, and property rights puzzles) to examine (i) what actors, relationships, and conditions shape the shaping of synthetic biology practice, (ii) how long it can take to make incremental progress in such work, and (iii) imagine what next steps might happen.
