The time has come to move SYNBIO microbes outside the lab/fermentor & recognize them as allies to repair the env damage we have inflicted on the planet. Achieving this at a truly global scale demands fresh views beyond the very limited Western mindset of control and containment

BIO·FICTION travels on! 🌏 Its latest stop was at @iitmadras, Chennai, within the framework of an intensive SynBio course @vdlorenzo_CNB conducted at @iitmbt. Always happy to offer food for thought for those crucial discussions!
1/2 Being close to the end of the intensive SynBio Course @iitmbt @iitmadras, it was due having a discussion session with the students on societal & ethical ramifications, elicited by a few film clips of the @bio_fiction Festival kindly provided by @MarkusSchmidt97 & @BioFaction

This short film is great and presents the role of the microbiome and what microbiome-based solutions can look like for a better future.
