Rathenau Debate Proposal
This October, the Rathenau Instituut (in collaboration with the African-European iGEM organization committee) will stage the Meeting of Young Minds Debate 2012, in which young people representing the worlds of science, the public and policy making will come together to debate around the topic of SynBio and society. Our proposal (‘A synthetic biology crisis – accountability, public perception, and the future of synthetic biology’) is one of three themes that have been selected for debate. We're looking forward to writing our position paper over the next month, which will further develop upon our 'crisis scenario' proposal.
Medal Requirements
Bronze:
Silver: In addition to the Bronze Medal requirements...
Gold: In addition to the Bronze and Silver Medal requirements, any one or more of the following:
The growth of the Registry depends on having a broad base of reliable parts. This is why the improvement of an existing part is just as important as the creation and documentation of a new part. An "improvement" is anything that improves the functionality and ease-of-use of a part, so that it is more likely to be used by the community. For instance: strengthening the expression of a part by mutating the DNA sequence; modifying one or a few parts in construct (Device) so that it performs its intended job better; improving a cloning or expression vector that can be easily used by the entire community; and of course, troubleshooting and fixing a part reported to be non-functional. Data from an experimental comparison between the original and improved part/ device is strongly recommended.
