<h3>Introduction</h3>

<br /><h4 ><font size="3">“How to spread science knowledge around the public in an effective way? How to narrow the gap between synthetic biology and the public?”</font></h4>
 +
<br />We hope everyone to actively participate in science popularization, achieving the purpose of improving the depth and breadth of science popularization, strengthening the inheritance of synthetic biology.
 +
<br /><br /> Comic book all over the world: In order to provide a platform for children of primary and middle school students in the world to know more about synthetic biology, we decided to display some concepts of synthetic biology in the form of stories and pictures and enlighten the thinking of scientific exploration of them. OUC-China drew a comic book and till now it has been translated into 13 languages. More than 27 iGEM teams participated in our science education with different languages versions. Our comic book left a footprint in 10 countries and popularized in 16 schools.
 +
<br /><br />A five day life science summer camp: We held a 5 day life science summer camp from August, 8th, 2018 to August, 13th, 2018, recruiting students from 3 different schools. During 5 days, we gave 7 lectures to these students, involving synthetic biology and iGEM, metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, PCR technology and cytometry introduction, literature search ability training and so on. Apart from that, we taught them 4 experimental operations in our lab, such as DNA extraction, PCR experiments, marine microbial separation and observation, butterfly specimen making. Finally, every summer camper did a report according their interest and literatures, which was a show time similar to Jamboree.
 +
<br /><br />A game <Cys4 Go!> based on our project:As is known to us, the mechanism of biological and chemical reaction in microorganisms is difficult to understand for most amateurish people. But now <CSY4 GO!> solves this problem successfully. The leading role of this game is an enzyme Cys4 that is used in our project. The game presents a microscopic view of the world with a more vivid picture. In this way, we can tell the story of Csy4 as well as the CRIPSR system to more people, thus achieving the goals of propagandizing our project and synthetic biology.
 +
<br /><br />Establish a bridge with biotechnology company:Given that the ultimate goal of foundational researches is application and benefiting for human, we suppose that making a dialogue with biotechnology companies is significant and meaningful. We went to 3 biotech companies and 2 research institute to integrate our project with social reality. In this way, we can know about the current social needs and improve our project accordingly. At the same time, we established a long-term relationship with them. On the one hand, they can provide us an effective way of converting foundational research to actual application, on the other hand, we will inform them of the latest results in the lab, by which we can promote each other and make progress together.
 +
<br /><br />Provide examples for iGEMers: Now many iGEM teams engaged in foundational advances are confused how to integrate their project with practice. So four other teams and OUC-china form the foundational research transformation group. We use our project as an example to specifically describe how to apply project to practice and how to adjust our project accordingly. Then we shared our experience with Tianjin University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, National Defense Science and Technology University to explore the transformation of basic research results and form joint a report, hoping to provide a reference to future iGEM teams.
 +
<br /><br />Give lectures in OUC: In order to promote the spread of synthetic biology in our campus, we gave lectures to those who are interested in it and helped them form a syn-group. More than 20 students form different majors join this group. These members gave presentations once a week according to their interests and interacted with others, improving their ability of reading papers and their understanding of synthetic biology. As their advisors, we do our best to help them and guide them. During one year, syn-groupers have learn synthetic biology, molecular biology, microbiology and lots of papers, which helped them improved a lot. It is really a good way to promote the spread and inheritance of synthetic biology in our schools.

Team OUC-China: Main

Public Engagement

Fig1 what we have done?

Introduction


“How to spread science knowledge around the public in an effective way? How to narrow the gap between synthetic biology and the public?”


We hope everyone to actively participate in science popularization, achieving the purpose of improving the depth and breadth of science popularization, strengthening the inheritance of synthetic biology.

Comic book all over the world: In order to provide a platform for children of primary and middle school students in the world to know more about synthetic biology, we decided to display some concepts of synthetic biology in the form of stories and pictures and enlighten the thinking of scientific exploration of them. OUC-China drew a comic book and till now it has been translated into 13 languages. More than 27 iGEM teams participated in our science education with different languages versions. Our comic book left a footprint in 10 countries and popularized in 16 schools.

A five day life science summer camp: We held a 5 day life science summer camp from August, 8th, 2018 to August, 13th, 2018, recruiting students from 3 different schools. During 5 days, we gave 7 lectures to these students, involving synthetic biology and iGEM, metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, PCR technology and cytometry introduction, literature search ability training and so on. Apart from that, we taught them 4 experimental operations in our lab, such as DNA extraction, PCR experiments, marine microbial separation and observation, butterfly specimen making. Finally, every summer camper did a report according their interest and literatures, which was a show time similar to Jamboree.

A game based on our project:As is known to us, the mechanism of biological and chemical reaction in microorganisms is difficult to understand for most amateurish people. But now solves this problem successfully. The leading role of this game is an enzyme Cys4 that is used in our project. The game presents a microscopic view of the world with a more vivid picture. In this way, we can tell the story of Csy4 as well as the CRIPSR system to more people, thus achieving the goals of propagandizing our project and synthetic biology.

Establish a bridge with biotechnology company:Given that the ultimate goal of foundational researches is application and benefiting for human, we suppose that making a dialogue with biotechnology companies is significant and meaningful. We went to 3 biotech companies and 2 research institute to integrate our project with social reality. In this way, we can know about the current social needs and improve our project accordingly. At the same time, we established a long-term relationship with them. On the one hand, they can provide us an effective way of converting foundational research to actual application, on the other hand, we will inform them of the latest results in the lab, by which we can promote each other and make progress together.

Provide examples for iGEMers: Now many iGEM teams engaged in foundational advances are confused how to integrate their project with practice. So four other teams and OUC-china form the foundational research transformation group. We use our project as an example to specifically describe how to apply project to practice and how to adjust our project accordingly. Then we shared our experience with Tianjin University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, National Defense Science and Technology University to explore the transformation of basic research results and form joint a report, hoping to provide a reference to future iGEM teams.

Give lectures in OUC: In order to promote the spread of synthetic biology in our campus, we gave lectures to those who are interested in it and helped them form a syn-group. More than 20 students form different majors join this group. These members gave presentations once a week according to their interests and interacted with others, improving their ability of reading papers and their understanding of synthetic biology. As their advisors, we do our best to help them and guide them. During one year, syn-groupers have learn synthetic biology, molecular biology, microbiology and lots of papers, which helped them improved a lot. It is really a good way to promote the spread and inheritance of synthetic biology in our schools.

Comic book E.coli SPACESHIP popularization


Having translated into 13 languages, we took comic book E.coli spaceship to some local educational bases. Children like our comic book very much and we printed some to send them as gifts. Some foreign team also used our comic book to do science education in their country. More than 15teams in China contacted us and request for different comic book versions to popularize synthetic biology. We are very grateful to these foreign iGEM teams for translation this comic book. It is a very good job to do science education all over the world, which makes the best use of this comic book. It is worth mentioning that these teams also give us some good feedback about the effects of comic book E.coli spaceship.

This year, students in School of Life Sciences, Shandong University forms a brand new team. As as an old team that has been participating in iGEM competition for 8 years, OUC-China is very willing to help SDU-China. At the beginning of the team formation, they come to ocean university of China and asked for help. We explained the process of the iGEM competition to them in detail and remind them some important deadlines. For their project, we gave them some pertinent suggestions. For practice activities, during the summer vacation, we invited them to hold a summer camp. Members of SDU-China explained to the campers how to make insect specimens.
See more detail in our education & public engagement.
Apart from that, they help us test the performance of first system, miniToe, proving that our system has the same trend under other experimental conditions. As the figure shows, the orange line refers to the system which is induced while the blue line is the control group, The big difference
in expression level between two line indicate that our system is working well as a switch.

4. XJTU-China


Apply our polycistronic to XJTU-China’s project and help them finish modelling


XJTU-China https://2018.igem.org/Team:XJTU-China/Collaborations
This year, we made a toolkit based on an endonuclease Csy4 and a RNA module named miniToe then applied it to polycistronic system. Coincidentally, the project of XJTU-China involves polycistronic circuit. Each team thought it was a great idea if we could collaborate with each other on our project. So we offered to apply our polycistronic toolkit to their system. For XJTU-China, it is difficult to model based on their project. So we helped them finish modelling their project of polycistronic.

5. Tianjin, XJTU-China, ZJU-China, NUDT_CHINA


Basic research results transformation team


Tianjin https://2018.igem.org/Team:Tianjin/Collaborations
Four other teams and OUC-china form the basic research results transformation team. We share survey experience and form a document, providing future iGEMers a reference. We conduct joint research with Tianjin University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, National Defense Science and Technology University to explore the transformation of basic research results, hoping to provide references to other iGEM teams.

Fig1 We formed a foundational research group

6. NWU-China


They help us test miniToe system and we provide them with some experimental material.


NWU-China https://2018.igem.org/Team:NWU-China/Collaborations
NWU-China helped us test miniToe system in their lab and the results can fit well with our results, proving that our system can also function in other experimental environments.
As the figure shows, the orange line refers to the system which is induced while the blue line is the control group, The big difference
 in expression level between two line indicate that our system is working well as a switch.
OUC-china also help NWU-China do a lot. Northwestern University locates in the inland area of China, whose project involves salt and alkali and need some salt water for their experiments. Ocean University of China is located in the coastal city. So we help them take some salt water and send them by post.

Fig2 We provide them with some sea water for experiments

7. SKLMT-China


We help test their system and they also help test our system.


SKLMT-China https://2018.igem.org/Team:SKLMT-China/Collaborations
SKLMT-China helped us test miniToe system in their lab and the results could also fit with our results, proving that our system can also function in other experimental environments. As the figure shows, the orange line refers to the system which is induced while the blue line is the control group, The big difference
 in expression level between two line indicate that our system is working well as a switch.
This year, SKLMT-China wants to construct a library of artificial constitutive promoters as a useful tool for the model-based fine-tuning of gene expression in Pseudomonas fluorescence. The strength of different promoters will be characterized by a reporter gene, firefly luciferase. To confirm the feasibility of their system in different environments, we help them test the strength of promoter and give them a good feedback.
