DESCRIPTION:Thursday, March 29, 2012 7 – 9:30 pm\nDavid Brower Center 2150 Allston 
 Way, Berkeley\n\nConvened by: Alliance for Humane Biotechnology, California 
 BioSafety Alliance, California Coalition For Workers Memorial Day, Center 
 for Environmental Health, Center for Food Safety, ETC Group, Friends of the 
 Earth, Global Justice Ecology Project, Injured Workers National Network, 
 International Center for Technology Assessment, Movement Generation Justice 
 and Ecology Project, West County Toxics Coalition.\n\nA Risky 
 Development:\nThe University of California, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 
 and the US Department of Energy have unveiled plans to build a high profile 
 biotech laboratory in the East Bay. The lab and associated commercial 
 activity will focus on developing biofuels and other products using 
 synthetic biology: an extreme form of genetic engineering that creates 
 artificial life.\n\nGround Zero for Syn Bio:\nAlready a multi-billion 
 dollar field, synthetic biology is fast becoming the next ‘biotech 
 bubble’ with the Bay Area as ground zero for this new industry . The San 
 Francisco Bay Area is already home to over a dozen synthetic biology 
 companies backed by some of the world’s largest energy, pharmaceutical, 
 chemical and agribusiness players as well as “garage biotech” hackers. 
 The next generation biofuels under development are a false solution to our 
 environmental crises. The risks synthetic biology poses to worker safety, 
 public health, social justice, and the environment are poorly understood 
 and are as yet effectively unregulated.\n
