Because synthetic biology researchers will themselves have broad influence in both the field and the conversations surrounding it, an interdisciplinary team from the University of Wisconsin–Madison sought to shed light on their views. The group first identified a unique sample of synthetic biologists and researchers who focus on ethical, legal, and social issues, then polled them regarding their attitudes and values related to synbio.\nFor this episode of BioScience Talks, we are joined by Dr. Dietram Scheufele, who discusses the poll's results and also the ways in which synthetic biologists might best engage the public—as experts and as listeners—during and after the field's entrance onto the public and regulatory stage.\n Read the article.\n Subscribe on iTunes.\nSubscribe on Stitcher.\nCatch up with us on Twitter. \nPhoto credit: Kyle Cassidy, Annenberg School for Communication.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qBYks7z_LrDl0xWejdg8NVAnyaJl-cO9SFuWMRl7QoQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE5MzM0LzE2MTU1/OTEwMDEtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
