Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of:
- researcher safety, - public safety, or - environmental safety?
We were careful to consider any safety risks that might be
brought about by the ideas presented in our project. We have
determined that none of our results pose significant risk of
harm to either the researchers or the general public. None of
our modified parts could be used maliciously because they were
not designed to be harmful to humans or the environment. Some of
the materials used in the process of finishing our project do
pose safety risks. These materials include but are not limited
to: Ethydium Bromide, UV transilluminators, and Voltage
regulators. All of our researchers were trained in the use of
these materials and followed all safety guidelines as given by
the NIH. http://www.ors.od.nih.gov/sr/dohs/BioSafety/rDNA/Pages/

you made this year raise any safety issues? If yes, - Did you
