Introduction To What We Saw As Human Practices. Always make it pertain to our project! The Calgary 2012 iGEM team saw safety, ethics, and human practices as one of the most important elements in clearly developing our project. Before developing our synthetic biology systems we wanted to ensure that each component of our project was built with other groups and individuals in mind. Through various interviews with specialists, outreach activities, the development of physical and genetic safety elements, and the production of a video game on synthetic biology, our group complimented our wetlab work with relevance to our community and end users.

Interivews With Experts

In order to determine the relavence of producing a device capable of detecting and breaking down naphthenic acid's (NAs) as well as other compounds in the tailings ponds our group conducted a series of individuals within Alberta's oil and gas sector with various different backgrounds. The hope with this was to do get a general overview of what
