*NEW: SCHOOLS ONLY TUESDAYS*
Bring your students to Science Gallery Melbourne’s Schools Only Tuesdays as a dedicated day to explore and debate all things NOT NATURAL.
In this combined tour and workshop, your students will explore the friction between cultural perceptions of nature and the implications of creating synthetic forms of life. Advances in synthetic biology have opened a plethora of possibility and a pandoras box of ethical dilemmas. We’ve stepped into a new era, where the tools of genetic engineering and biotechnology allow us to gene-edit, splice and de-extinct almost anything biological. We get to design new life-forms and modify existing ones. But are we redesigning evolution or is evolution re-designing us? And just because we can, should we?
