Global Forum on Biotechnology - The Evolving Promise of the Life Sciences
12 November 2012
OECD Conference Centre, Paris
Biotechnology, AI and the Internet of Things are shaping the 21th century as we speak. Information is the only thing that matters: who controls it, owns it, leaks it; who gathers it, uses, sells or fabricates it? From 11 May to 8 July, MU takes a close look at the unravelling information-related mythologies of our time (identity, privacy, freedom, truth) with two separate solo exhibitions like parallel universes of critical reflection by artists Zach Blas and Heather Dewey-Hagborg.
The two exhibitions at MU pose some challenging questions. What makes us who we are, for instance, and who defines our identities? What chance do we stand against a trillion-dollar industry out to harvest and sell our information or governments eager to monitor everyone in order to track down (possible) criminals, terrorists or political opponents? When companies and states have the computing power and algorithms to handle information of billions of people; when artificial intelligence predicts our buying behaviour as well as our potential threat to society – where does that leave us? Well… at least we can call for regulation, we can quit Facebook, and some of us, like Zach Blas and Heather Dewey-Hagborg, can make incredible art.

Jamestown Community College hosted an intensive five-week boot camp for high school teachers in the HURI SURI program offered through JCC’s biotechnology degree program. HURI SURI provides undergraduate research opportunities for JCC and area high school students as well as opportunities for teachers to participate in biotechnology and undergraduate research experiences at JCC.

You can see that these protoplasts have just come out of the 'fuge. The chloroplasts have been spun down to one side.

Thayer's "Winterim" offered skills-based short courses to students who remain on campus during December break.
One of the short courses offered this season is "Biotechnology for Beginners," a hands-on introduction to modern molecular biology.

First documented in the 13th century, Berlin became the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–33) and the Third Reich (1933–45). Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world. After World War II, the city, along with the German state, was divided - into East Berlin — capital of the German Democratic Republic, colloquially identified in English as East Germany — and West Berlin, a political exclave (surrounded by the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989) and a de facto (although not de jure) state of the Federal Republic of Germany, known colloquially in English as West Germany from 1949 to 1990. Following German reunification in 1990, the city was once more designated as the capital of all Germany.
Berlin is a world city of culture, politics, media, and science, hosting 147 foreign embassies. Its economy is primarily based on high-tech industries and the service sector, encompassing a diverse range of creative industries, research facilities, media corporations, and convention venues. Berlin also serves as a continental hub for air and rail transport and is a popular tourist destination. Significant industries include IT, pharmaceuticals, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, electronics, traffic engineering, and renewable energy.

Students in Dr Jolene Schuster's Biotechnology Class/Lab made a series of protein samples and then measured the amount of UV light that each absorbed using a spectrophotometer. They used the data to create a standard curve relating concentration and absorbance. The curve will be a useful tool for exploring other protein samples they are studying; Gilder Center, April 22, 2022. Photography by Glenn Minshall.
Workshop (February 23-24, 2010) in Welk'it'e, Ethiopia, organized by EIAR and ILRI aimed at popularizing research results and good practices on trypanosomosis /tsetse control in the Ghibe valley of Ethiopia and the way forward. The workshop was attended by different stakeholders’ from five Tsetse and tryps affected regions of the country. The workshop was opened by H.E. Dr. Abera Dressa, State Minister, MoARD (photo credit: ILRI/Tadelle Dessie).
Designed for area high school teachers and conducted by JCC biology faculty. Hands-on activities included advanced lab methods and technical skills in cell culture, immunofluorescence, and DNA isolation. August 2011

What is your artwork submission about?
We are a nonprofit, biotechnology institute located in Huntsville, Alabama, and of course we had to participate in the Dream Rocket project. Our mission includes developing high-throughput research tools that focus on why disease occurs; working to rapidly apply this knowledge to help patients; and educating the students, teachers and citizens of Alabama on the benefits of biotechnology. So we chose to make a bright shiny DNA double helix for our panel.
