A PACE feature/exposition on the Science Train of the Max-Planck-Society, called ‘Expedition Future 2020’. The train will tour around Germany from March to October 2009, celebrating the 60th birthday of the federal republic, and will stop in 60 German towns. To appear in 2009.
GEO magazine: Article on Synthetic Biology by Jens Schröder (interview with John McCaskill on the PACE project). To appear in December 2008 or January 2009.
Exhibits and a text about the PACE project in the Deutsche Museum in Munich, Germany, one of the biggest museums on science and technology in the world. In the center of the exhibition there will be a visitors’ lab. It is planned to have a setup called "The second creation" (or "Manmade evolution") is planned, showing different scientific approaches to artificial life: minimal genome, neurochips, synthetic biology and programmable artificial cells. Each approach shall be illustrated by a small exhibit and a 2-minute-audio-text about the aims, procedures, problems and status. To appear in 2009:
