WeChat igemWorldshaperWH

We created our own WeChat account igemWorldShaperWH (figure 1). WeChat is the most popular social software in China, like Twitter in USA. We used it to make sure we maximize our impact to society. Our daily tweets come from our daily experiments and our human practices.

Questionnaire

In order to better promote our future research. We prepared two questionnaires to investigate the public's understanding of kidney cancer and synthetic biology in the project we investigated. The first questionnaire set 9 questions, including 2 control parameters (age, gender) and 7 closed questions included 132 respondents. Considering the inadequate control parameters of the first questionnaire, our team member prepared the second questionnaire. The questionnaire set 10 questions, including 4 control parameters (age, gender, education level and occupation) and 6 closed questions. We chose to add two control parameters, combined some questions in the first questionnaire, and set up two multiple-choice questions. The second questionnaire consisted of 271 respondents.

We as a team visited the biolake of the Optic Valley, which is the Wuhan bioindustry base and home of leading Chinese biopharmaceutical companies like Humanwell Healthcare, Healthgen Biotechnology, and Zoncare.
