    1.6 Identifying intersections between BBCC and ecology and conservation
    (Rice University, 2025) Kiattisewee, Cholpisit Ice; Seah, Adeline; George, Dalton R.; Barnhill, S. Kathleen; Barrios, Felix Moronta
    This Entreaty summarizes the key discussion points identified from a “Identifying intersections between BBCC and ecology/conservation” working group as one of the technical sessions under the “Biotechnologies Beyond Conventional Containment (BBCC)” theme at the Spirit of Asilomar and The future of Biotechnology summit. The session aimed to explore the intersection of biotechnology application in the environmental set-up for ecology and conservation purposes.

    5.3 Broadening Science Education within Existing Structures
    (Rice University, 2025) Zimmerman, Elise H.; Johnson, Alicia; Elcock, Leon B. III; George, Dalton R.; Kiattisewee, Cholpisit Ice; Lardner, Casey; Palmer, Xavier-Lewis; Seah, Adeline; Silberg, Jonathan J.
    The social, ethical, and political problems we are facing are not merely an interdisciplinary exercise, but a fundamental component of biotechnology. Scientists are increasingly needed to also act in roles as policy advisors, advocates, participants in diverse conversations, and active community members. Expanding science education to meaningfully incorporate the knowledge and skills needed to effectively engage in these roles is necessary. This entreaty serves as a concrete, non-exhaustive list of some examples, resources, evaluations, and ideas for implementing interdisciplinary learning and equity-minded science into existing science education structures. This document includes five categories of educational structures with an introduction, examples, pros, cons, and ideas to expand for each category. We hope it acts as a resource for people to begin implementing interdisciplinary education at their own institutions.
