The Future and Synthetic Biology

Because we are nowadays able to modify living organisms through genetic manipulation, it has become possible to patent the process of modification. This situation creates a new form of ownership on the products of genetic engineering: who is responsible for the potential consequences of the changed organism? In this exercise, students will look into real-life applications of synthetic biology. Some small exercises will help to provide orientation in the realm of ethical issues connected to genetically modifying organisms. Afterwards, students will write a fictive news article from the future to consider the consequences of applications of the new technology of synthetic biology.

Self-study module Introduction to Plant Biology - Plant nutrients

This self-study module is part of the series ‘Introduction to Plant Biology’ and introduces plant nutrients and their essential roles in plant growth and development. It is designed for students studying basic plant biology and for teachers seeking clear explanations and illustrative figures for educational use. The module explores the distinction between macronutrients and micronutrients, provides examples of key nutrients, and explains how plants respond to different types of nutrient deficiencies. In addition, it addresses how nutrient management practices in agriculture are used to prevent deficiencies and reduce yield losses.

From extinction to de-extinction: CRISPR/Cas9 and biodiversity

CRISPR/Cas9 technology allows selectively editing (i.e. deleting or inserting) gene sequences in any organism to change its genetic profile. In humans, this technology carries the promise of eradicating certain genetic diseases. Recently, however, it has been used to tinker with biodiversity: bringing some extinct animals back to life and alternatively, making some species go extinct. However, it is not fully clear yet how to control this technology (e.g. not eradicate the whole species but only control its population), how to prevent the accidental release of this technology and to prevent doomsday terrorist scenarios.

Presentatie innovatie van weerbare teeltsystemen

Powerpoint presentatie over de aandachtspunten voor het design van weerbare levende teeltsystemen voor plantenteelt onder glas. Op hoofdlijnen worden de onderdelen van het weerbare teeltsysteem benoemd. De presenentatie sluit af met een visie op de rol van moleculaire technieken in de systeemaanpak voor weerbare teelt en welke aandachtspunten belangrijk zijn voor de toepassingen van moleculaire veredeling van rassen die passen in levende en weerbare teeltsystemen.

Reader Molecular Neurobiology

For the course Molecular Neurobiology we make use of an online reader and labjournal. The reader is implemented in LabBuddy (see link below). Here we give the students all the information they need on the course, assignments, and expectations Protocols, toolbox and labjournal is implemented in ExperD, a subpage of labbuddy. Here the students can find all the protocols they can use for their experiments (files marked P), tools they can use (files marked T), and make a schematic overview of their workflow. The online grocery list is a list of all the tools and necessities for their experiments that the students can request at the start of the week from the TA's

Misconduct – Volkswagen’s ‘Defeat Design’ [Teacher version]

In this CBE students will reflect on the theme of misconduct by considering the case of the ‘dieselgate’ emission-scandal that got public attention in 2015. They are expected to do a bit of research beforehand or watch the Netflix episode of Dirty Money on Volkswagen (season 1, episode 1). Students will contemplate on the different roles of responsibility involved in the case and will assume the perspectives of involved actors as an exercise. Accordingly, they will create a moral scenario, a story, as a tool to reflect on the different values at stake in this case of misconduct and to conceive of strategies of ethical anticipation.

PFAS – Persistent Micropollutants in the Water Cycle

This report presents the final course material that was developed for the online learning module on persistent micropollutants – PFAS. The document can be used as a stand-alone manual to fully individually follow the entire course, from week to week. It includes the links to the video materials that were developed for the course within the project, fully integrated within the reading material. The course forms a bridge between scientists and professionals working in the water cycle. So far, the information on PFAS has been available in a scattered manner, making it difficult for non-experts to get a complete introductory overview. This course was designed to compile information on PFAS through the water cycle, from production to use and final treatment. The course is built up in an intuitive way: it starts with a general introduction on the origin, chemistry and nomenclature of PFAS; national standards and reported concentrations in the urban water cycle are presented; analytics are explained; the course concludes with technologies for separation and final destruction of PFAS. Each chapter (or week) contains written textbook material, videos and additional reading material. Development of the course has been a co-production between PROMISCES and TU Delft, as TU Delft has an extensive educational support system including a professional recording studio and an expert learning assessment system for engineering education. All materials including videos are freely available for the general public. If the learner wants the full experience of having virtual classmates, get access to all exercises and receive a certificate and credit points after successful completion of the course, one can register at online-learning.tudelft.nl. The course was developed by two environmental engineers with a professional educational background (Mariska Ronteltap and Kim Lompe). The educational videos include knowledge clips (recorded lectures in a studio), videos in laboratories, interviews with PROMISCES project partners and videos on location. To be able to follow the course a basic understanding of chemistry is required; other than that, the course is fully understandable for non-experts. Collaboration between TU Delft, Delfland Water Authority, and the EU Project PROMISCES.

Responsible use of information: Responsible use of data

Managing data Research data can be a survey, a transcript of an interview, a spreadsheet, pictures, sound fragments and so forth. So it is clear you will come across research data during your studies. When you use the data of others it is important to reference them correctly: learn more about this in the module Citing Data. Protecting respondents Do no harm Responsible use of data is particularly important when the data involves people. The ethical norm is that you, the researcher, do not harm your research subjects in any way or better still, that people who participate in the research benefit from the research (Mertens 2007:27). Informed consent Another principle involved in research ethics is informed consent: getting permission from research subjects before you start your data collection, indicating that they understand and agree with your activities and its impact on them. Shared data management Research data management and open data initiatives enable and promote re-use of primary data by different researchers, or generations of researchers. Data sharing allows other researchers to match, compare and analyze the data set. Exercise: File naming Related. Suggested.
