Synthetic Society/Biological Risks and Security

We are currently trying to develop a strategy for organizing our work.

• Suggestion. If possible, focus only on the "delta" impact on biological risk & security due to synthetic biology, not the entire biological security and risk landscape. We need to evaluate whether or not this is possible?
  • What are the intentional SB contributions to risk?
  • What are the accidental SB contributions to risk?
  • What are the active SB contributions to security?
  • What are the passive SB contributions to security?

• Suggestion. Evaluate costs associated with using synthetic biology technologies relative to other already accessible approaches.

• Suggestion. What sorts of uncertainty frame our thinking?
