This time Club Cosmos tackled the topic of “Synthetic Biology”. We enjoyed a drink as we discussed Synthetic biology – beyond the hype: what it is, and what ethical and legal issues may arise from it.

Our panel included:

Desmond Lun, associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA and former research fellow in genetics at Harvard Medical School.

Claudia Vickers, senior research fellow in the Systems and Synthetic Biology Group at the University of Queensland.

Belinda Bennett, professor of health and medical law at Sydney University and member of the National Medical Board of Australia.

Hosted by COSMOS editor Wilson da Silva. And there were fabulous geek science prizes to win!
