- | + | <h2>GMO Collaboration</h2> | |
+ | <br/> | ||
+ | <p>GMO collaboration: The overriding purpose of human practices is to educate the public | ||
+ | about what synthetic biology is, what it’s applications are, and the safety of future | ||
+ | developments in the field. To this end we are proud to collaborate with fellow iGEMmers | ||
+ | from Cornell, the University of Michigan, Northwestern, and the University of Southern | ||
+ | Denmark to produce a video series on GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms. <br/<br/>We | ||
+ | hope to engage the general public in a thoughtful conversation on this hot topic by | ||
+ | discussing the history, ethics, and future of several GMO areas, all of which have been | ||
+ | effected by the innovations of synthetic biology. Please check out the videos at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/iGEMHPCollaboration/videos?view=0">our | ||
+ | youtube channel</a>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In particular, we have created 2 videos – one on transgenic corn and another on gene | ||
+ | therapy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Special thanks to the following faculty for their time and participation in the videos. | ||
