Global synbio competition advancing education, collaboration, and community

"An organization that runs a global synthetic biology competition and emphasizes both the technical limits and social dimensions of the field, noting that engineered traits in microbes often fail to persist outside laboratory conditions, that international biosafety guidance can lag behind new techniques, and that community dialogue and locally driven projects can use synbio tools for empowerment (for example, a community-developed genetic test to protect a local honey product)." - Meg Wilcox
