To strengthen the communication between iGEM and the public, we designed a mini program named biocampany to let the public have a deeper impression of the projects as well as synthetic biology.
For a better understanding of what relevant departments do to prevent cockroaches, we did some researches and interviews with canteen manager and CDC. To make an improvement of our Green Ground, we went to Chongqing University to ask Professor Wang Zhongkang for help.
We made a simulation about consequent of killing cockroaches with different ways like cockroaches chalks, our product Green Ground and so on. We hope that we can give the public a guidance of using the proper way to kill the cockroaches.
This year, we have a science popularization to students in Yueliangwan Primary School about cockroaches prevention and Synthetic biology. We also went to a village in Hunan Province that troubled by cockroaches to provide our wild product for the villagers.
This year, we held a 2018 iGEM Southern China Regional Meetup in the early May, many of iGEM teams from Guangdong Province were invited and shared their thoughts. We also attended iGEM EurAsian Meetup 2018 in July and CCIC in August.
Under what we have done now, we are going to apply for a patent for our final version product Green Ground and send our product to quality inspection. In addition, we want to do more in the promotion of synthetic biology.
