Hello, My name is Ke Fang, a design PhD student from CRI, France. I am working with Paolo Bombelli ([log in to unmask]), a PhD researcher from the Department from Biochemistry, University of Cambridge and Open Science School (http://openscienceschool.org/about/). We received a grant from OpenPlant (http://openplant.org/) to carry out *t*he 5th Edition of Co-Lab's interdisciplinary workshop, held in University of Cambridge and in John Innes Centre, Norwich this summer: ( http://openscienceschool.org/colabopenplant/) In the 5th edition of Co-Lab, we focus on discussion of plant synthetic biology from an ethnographic point of view. When scientific research borrows methodology from ethnography, which is the systematic study of peoples and cultures, discussions can digress beyond the technological barriers of plant science. How can Scientists place their research in the context of culture and society, to understand how their work is perceived by the public? How can artists and designer utilise their projects to reshape public perception on GMO and plant science? These are the type of discussion We hope to bring to the context of the workshop - and we are seeking help to find people who would be interested in these kind of discussions. We would highly appreciate if you could join in our workshop or help us circulate these messages. Please find here application information <http://openscienceschool.org/colabopenplant/> Thank you very much, -- FANG Ke FDV PhD Candidate Center for Research and Interdisciplinarity (CRI) http://cri-paris.org Paris ----------------------------------------------------------------- PhD-Design mailing list <[log in to unmask]> Discussion of PhD studies and related research in Design Subscribe or Unsubscribe at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/phd-design -----------------------------------------------------------------
