As well as our upcoming network conference in Manchester you shouldn’t miss this upcoming public lecture by Professor Jane Calvert, in memory of our co-founder and much missed colleague and friend Andrew Webster:

[SATSU York @UoY_SATSU]

Today you can sign up for the 2023 Andrew J Webster Lecture on Science, Technology and Society at https://t.co/7QeBIwNwWB. This year's speaker is Professor Jane Calvert from @UoE_STIS with respondents @roswillz and @koicox. Places are free and the event is open to all.

Very inspiring talk by Rob Smith @rdjs_is on building strong capabilities for responsible research & innovation (#RRI) in #SynBio @EFBiotechnology @EFB_EBBS #ASBEVI #laboratory work & manipulations are just the tip of the iceberg in #SynBio!

[Robert Smith @rdjs_is]

@susteinability, @ThomasFranssen, @MandydeWilde & I took a look at the European Commission's labyrinthine and unsurprisingly modernist approach to environmental harm in research and innovation, and thought about alternatives. #sts #scipol #greendeal

[Future Organisms @futureorganisms]

Thanks @JefBoeke lab, @BroshRan and @sudpinglay et al for hosting Rob, and for the chance to talk about future organisms & crossing kingdoms (w/ @SymbioticALab)

[SymbioticA @SymbioticALab]

The University of Western Australia has started a process to shut SymbioticA down and we have 8 working days to make a case as to why it should continue. We welcome letters of support. DM with your email address if interested. #savesymbiotica

[Future Organisms @futureorganisms]

How many synthetic biologists does it take to do a dance routine?...#msbw2022 at the Ceilidh

Wait...are we synthetic biologists?

[Future Organisms @futureorganisms]

Meanwhile in Edinburgh..Jane and Rob are at #msbw2022. Come and chat to us at our big teal poster later! We want to hear about the place of organisms in your work.🦆🪴🐁🦠

[Dr. Maya Hey (find me at heymayahey.bsky.social) @heymayahey]

I'm chatting about what it means to write genomes for @futureorganisms, including the metaphors used to justify biotech innovations. 🐉📖🤖

It's a public talk for @Gene_Writers later today, 6-8pm CDT. You can stream or rewatch here:
📺 https://t.co/ahFYwIwJfr

[Future Organisms @futureorganisms]

🚨 pub alert!
We're interested in the shift from parts-based to whole-genome, whole-organism engineering.

To study this, we ask: what can the role of the organism tell us about the shift towards genome-based engineering? Check out our first paper here:
