Megan Palmer at The Interval: Engineering Biology for Social Scales
SEE EVENT DETAILS
The century’s frontier is biological: how can we? best set our course to take life forward? A scientist and engineer now focused on policy, Dr. Megan Palmer discusses her ongoing work ?on standards and practices to assure synthetic biology ?will be safe, responsible and good for the world.
The Interval at Long Now welcomes Megan Palmer (iGEM, Stanford)
Engineering Biology for Social Scales
Check-in begins 6:30pm; talk starts at 7:30pm at The Interval at Long Now
Hosted by Ryan Phelan of Revive & Restore.
