Team:Exeter/Human Practices

Introduction

Human practices are the ethical, societal, environmental and business impacts that our synthetic biology project has. Everything that could be affected by our project has been considered and the benefits and risks to each area decided. From the beginning we imagined how our project may impact upon society, evolving our project with human practices in mind. It is one of the most important aspects of our project and determines the success of our project if it were to continue forward. Therefore we throughly considered human practices through our panel and regular meetings and discussions with a wide range of people, from environmentalist experts to people with a wealth of experience concerning impact-led research.
