With great science comes great responsibility: The long-awaited question about developing Social Responsibility towards Scientific Research finally reached the surface.
Conference Highlights: June 17, 2010, more than 80 people from Academia, Industry and policy gathered in Copenhagen to discuss the idea and development of Scientific Social Responsibility (SSR).
Playing God?: Should we dismiss the worry that creating synthetic cells is "playing God"? Even atheists will want to pay attention!
Living technology is green: Professor Steen Rasmussen is convinced that technology based on the principles of life will be of great importance in the effort against global warming. Living technology with e.g. the ability to self-repair is one way that we may come to reduce pollution. (Article in Danish)
