iGEM Community

Hosted by the iGEM Climate Crisis Village, this webinar will explore the intersection between Novel entities, one of the planetary boundaries and synthetic biology. Rather than presenting synthetic biology as inherently positive or negative, the discussion will focus on the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities associated with developing innovative technologies while staying within planetary boundaries.

The iGEM Arts Gallery brings together Biocreators from around the world to share their experiences at the intersection of art, design, science and technology and celebrate the 5th Year of the Project.

What does it really take to scale up science in the real world?

In this Scaling Science episode, we chat with Nick Oswald, founder of Bitesize Bio, a platform helping life science researchers connect, learn, and grow through practical, bite-sized wisdom.
