We stand at the dawn of a new science. The discipline of synthetic biology promises to make us architects of the living world. Multiple futures are possible. The choices we make now about how, when and why we design nature will have a transformative impact on all kinds of life on Earth, potentially for generations to come.

DDW and MU invited Faber Futures - founded by DDW ambassador Natsai Audrey Chieza - to present their project BIO STORIES: a forum to explore our relationship with nature and define a positive vision for what it could be. Together with the DDW audience, Faber Futures will examine how we can work with nature to shape a future that centers the values of equity, sustainability, solidarity and humility.
