The new article by Dr. Alberto Aparicio is entitled, "Accept no limits: biocontainment and the construction of a safer space for experimentation in xenobiology as a legacy of Asilomar."

In this article, Dr. Aparicio suggests that the Asilomar conference of 1975 left a legacy of biocontainment as both an agenda of design principles in genetic engineering, and a way to reorder science-society relationships, which synthetic biologists and xenobiologists have adopted.
