“Art and Genomics has given me the tools I need to think about, and communicate the societal impact of scientific research. The most important lesson that I’ve learned from A&G is that scientists should consider the potential social impact of their research and findings more often.”
Dennis Vermazeren – Psychology student

The science of human genetics is developing very rapidly, even up until the point of enhancing human health. But to what extent can society influence this impact? After all, technological possibilities are not self-evidently ethical, necessary, or desired, and moreover, different people have different opinions about this.
We need to answer difficult questions about the needs, desires and values of the entirety of society that are related to these technologies. But how can we stimulate people from all walks of life to participate? For scientists in training, it is not obvious to acquire the necessary know-how and skills to connect science and society. With Art & Genomics, we are going to change this, with art and design as the secret weapon.
Below you’ll find the results of the student evaluation regarding to Art & Genomics.
