Workshop

Mark A. Bedau participates in the "Biotech For Sustainability" workshop

The workshop is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Science & Technology Innovation Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

It is aimed at exploring a new and emerging research area at the intersection of synthetic biology, sustainability science, and the field of science and technology studies (STS).

The meeting takes place on May 10-11, 2010, at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, in Washington, D.C. (www.wilsoncenter.org).

The workshop poses the question "What do cross-fertilizing reflections between Science & Technologies Studies (STS) and Sustainability Science have to contribute to the potential for sustainable societal and environmental outcomes from the new field of synthetic biology?"

The workshop will bring together STS researchers with researchers in sustainability science and synthetic biology from both Europe and the United States to initiate an open reflection on the implications of synthetic biology for sustainability research and policy.
