The latest update on the Watershed Metagenomics project shares some of the major findings from the project from a GE3LS perspective (Genomics and its Ethical, Environmental, Economic, Legal and Social Aspects).
The GE3LS team includes Dr Karen Bakker, Dr Leila Harris and Gemma Dunn of the Program on Water Governance, who analyzed current microbial risk assessment, management and communication practices among practitioners in BC and Ontario. This research has identified key factors that enable and constrain the operationalization of microbial risk management and the readiness for integrating novel methods.
For a summary of the key insights from the GE3LS work, see the update.
