Building with Biology: Bio Bistro | NISE Network (original) (raw)

DESCRIPTION

"Bio Bistro" is a card-based personal choice activity, in which visitors decide what current and future synthetic biology-based food products they would, would not, or might eat. They share their opinions on why they made each choice, and discuss what problems researchers are trying to solve with these foods, and what they like or don't like about these solutions.

Includes reference sheets comparing genetic engineering, traditional breeding, and synthetic biology.

In addition to the 2018 cards (English & Spanish), there is a set of bonus 2024 cards (English) with additional synthetic biology food examples developed by The BioBuilder Educational Foundation (https://biobuilder.org/), a nonprofit that provides curriculum and programs to prepare students for college and careers in life science.
