In this module, we will simulate a scientific conference focused on the topic of Synthetic Biology. Students will have a taste of what it's like to participate in an actual conference (minus the fancy meals and celebrity scientists, unfortunately). Each student will have a chance to learn a topic, present it to the class and engage in a learned discussion. We will simulate panel presentations and evaluations. Guidance will be provided during the introductory session on how to prepare for each presentation. The panels will focus on the following topics:
1. The development of novel biological function in existing systems;
2. The development of novel systems with existing biological functions;
3. Three strategies employed in Synthetic Biology - Modularisation and Standardisation, the Top-down Approach and the Bottom-Up Approach;
4. The development of novel biological systems with novel biological functions;
5. Biosafety.
