🧬🌱 Are you working on plant synthetic biology this year? Join the Plant Synbio Meetup, hosted by iGEM’s Plant Synthetic Biology Committee! 📆 Saturday July 20th at 08:00 UTC 📍 Online (Zoom) Register now! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e5WWHgAx 📖 Description: Plant synthetic biology is a major challenge within the scope of a yearly competition - most of all, because plants take a long time to grow. Even so, iGEM teams have been working with plant chassis since 2010. Teams have created new collections and toolkits, introduced or advanced plant chassis development, or tackled specific local or global problems with plants. This meetup will be a space for iGEM Teams, alumni, academia and stakeholders united by vegetal genetic engineering to gather, share, and learn from each other’s experiences. #iGEM2024 #plantsynbio #iGEMtechnology #plantsyntheticbiology Yassin Somoue Chafik Henrik Toft Simonsen René Inckemann

Lucas Boldrini, chair of the iGEM Space Network and Team Experience Manager at iGEM, delivered a statement on behalf of iGEM at the #COPUOS2024 this week: "Just like previous advancements in space travel have brought technological advancements to our lives on Earth, we also understand that advancing synthetic biology for space will also benefit our global problems ... "At the 2024 Grand Jamboree in Paris, scheduled to be held at the end of October, iGEM will organize the first #SpaceVillage, which will serve as a hub for teams, researchers, and organizations working on space exploration. As the iGEM Space Village and Initiative grows, we are also planning to conduct space-related activities ... with a focus on implementing policies for the safe, responsible and peaceful uses of synthetic biology in outer space" 🎥 https://lnkd.in/e3hB22cf 📖 https://lnkd.in/eJ284Hsm United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) #syntheticbiology #synbio #synbioforspace
