ESRC Genomics Policy and Research Forum
About this original series
Watch videos of workshops and seminars organised by the ESRC Genomics Forum at the University of Edinburgh. As part of the ESRC Genomics Network (EGN), the Genomics Forum acts to integrate the diverse strands of social science research within and beyond the EGN; to develop links between social scientists and scientists working across the entire range of genomic science and technology; and to connect research in this area to policy makers, business, the media and civil society in the UK and abroad.

Designing Synthetic Biology
Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg and James King are designers interested in futures and implications of new biotechnologies. In 2009 they worked alongside the Cambridge University synthetic biology (iGEM) team to help them imagine possible implications of their laboratory work, and went on to develop a number of design proposals for the team's E.chromi project.In this seminar, James and Daisy will introduce some of their recent projects, outline their approach to design and aesthetics in biotechnology...

Personal Genetic Data - A Public and Panel Debat...
It's been nearly 10 years since scientists first mapped out the human genetic code. At the time it was said to be a breakthrough that would revolutionise our understanding of human nature. In 2009, everybody can get his or her individual genome scanned. But what difference, if any, does knowing our personal genetic data make?

Genome Researchers in the Public Sphere
Scientists are increasingly facing expectations to address audiences other than their peers. Current changes in the relationship between science and the media furthermore raise the question how reliable scientific knowledge can be produced and communicated despite these changes. What does the relevance of the media and demands for visibility mean for the professional self-understanding of scientists? Is media prominence converted into scientific reputation? And what are the implications for th...
