Nature is known for its ability to make certain species prosper over others through natural selection but over the last few centuries, we have seen drastic changes in certain populations in direct relation to human behavior, such as climate change and urbanization. Due to these exterior forces, new species or an increased population is being introduced in areas not seen prior. Traditionally ecosystems are designed to be self-sustaining and most species have a vital role, and in the case of smaller species, they often serve as pollinators and essential prey options for certain diets. While necessary in some aspects, these are also the same organisms that cause colossal damage to humans. In some cases, such as invasive species, they serve no productive role in that specific ecological environment. New gene drive technology allows us to eliminate these species from certain countries, continents, or even the entire planet. This presents an opportunity to partially reverse the damage humans caused while addressing issues we could never tackle in the past. The humanitarian impact of this decision could be saving millions of individuals annually, usually from impoverished areas, from suffering or death. This speed talk will cover the fate of three different species (mosquitos, ticks, and rodents) that can be eradicated completely- or primarily in certain high impact areas- through gene drive, discuss methods of operations and containing effects, and delve into the consequential morality of this decision on the ecosystem and humanity.

Biocybersecurity (BCS) is a growing concern for security professionals, research labs, and medical facilities. In this talk, the presenters will elaborate on the importance of BCS, its pertinence to daily life, and its present and possible future threats. The goal is for attendees to be leave this presentation knowledgeable of the potential hazards of BCS, and ready to mitigate future insecurities.

This presentation is by Xavier Palmer and Lucas Potter (Old Dominion University and BioSView Lab), and will be followed by a short Q&A session.

It's finally here! The biosafety handbook was written by and for the DIYbio community after a multi-year tour of community laboratories and interviews. Thanks to the hard work of many in the community, it is ready to launch. This "living" 18 chapter handbook is intended to grow alongside the community and will need the community's help to survive. This active participation workshop will discuss the contents of the biosafety handbook, form a biosafety handbook committee which will take ownership of the handbook, help decide where it "lives", and manage future updates. As well as begin to make valuable changes and additions to the handbook based on regional differences in laws/regulations. Please join the authors to discuss the contents and how you can help make sure this valuable resource is able to live and grow with the community.

Workshop facilitators: Angela Armendariz (Genspace), Jenny Molloy (BiomakeSpace), Eric Harness( Biocurious), Patrik D'haeseleer (Counter Culture Labs), Daniel Grushkin (Biodesign Challenge), Todd Kuiken (NC State University)

Recently, a “DIY” COVID-19 vaccine has attracted national attention. The identification of this effort as “DIY” and “citizen science” once again raises important questions for those involved in community bio.

At past Bio Summits, participants have worked to define “community bio” and to distance themselves from other monikers and their associations with controversial forms of self-experimentation. Even so, significant overlap persists between community bio, biohacking, and DIY-bio (to name a few), and those following this new story have connected the experimental vaccine to much broader practices, implicating community bio in the process. As community bio takes up questions of governance at GCBS 4.0, this breakout session seeks to generate a discussion about persistent fundamental questions within community bio, including the central question: “Who is the community?”

The organizers, members of the Open Insulin Project’s “Open Insulin in Society” working group, will discuss their experiences with questions of democratic participation and inclusion. They invite others who identify with community bio to share the ways they have encountered these questions within their projects, efforts, organizations, and laboratories. Topics for the discussion may include: who is invited to participate in community bio and the forms this participation takes; how to address power and resource disparities within community bio; and the relationships between openness, inclusion, and ownership.

Technologies intended to curb populations of disease-causing or crop-destroying insects are rapidly becoming more and more powerful. In particular, with the advent of CRISPR/Cas9 gene drives, the possible risks to ecological balances and the threat of corporate monopolies are becoming very real. Citizens across the world, especially those in marginalized positions, may be affected in unpredictable ways. What is being done currently and how can we go further when it comes to responsible governance of these insect control biotechnologies? A presentation will be given about the current industry of bioengineered insect control and the latest initiatives (or lack thereof) to keep public engagement strong in the usage of bioengineered insects. Participants will have the opportunity to have a discussion about the topic and collaboratively draft a set of guidelines for this technology as an exercise for citizen involvement in science governance.
