The Science + Society Series: Synthetic Biology

On January 30th, the Seed and Schering-Plough hosted the second Science + Society breakfast on Capitol Hill. Entitled "Synthetic Biology: Constructing a Golden Age," the discussion covered the technology behind synthetic bio, the state of current research, and emerging legal and regulatory issues.

Speakers were MIT's Drew Endy and Anne-Marie Mazza of the Committee on Science, Technology and Law at the National Academies.

The talk was moderated by ScienceBlogs' own Carl Zimmer.
