The first revolution
Questionnaire survey
SKLMT-China originally tends to focus the topic on degrading the harmful substances which can be seen everywhere, then we choose nicotine.In order to acknowledge the acceptance degree of the public about our project(degrading the nicotine)and engineering bacteria, we distributed questionnaires though different ways(Wechat, leaflets, Google and so on). According to our survey, almost 100% respondents believed that our project was meaningful and the nicotine in their living environment was harmful. However, only 53% of them said they would accept that engineering bacteria would be used in their daily life. Rest of the respondents suggested that they still have bias about the engineering bacteria. After analyzing the findings, we held on our original thoughts(The degeneration of nicotine) and also made some supplements---we plan to try our best to ensure the security of our engineering bacteria and do more popular science education during our human practice.
Booths
We set up two booths , and distributed leaflets and questionnaires on the booth to explain the principle of the team's “nicotine biodegradation law” for the people who came to consult. The age of the propaganda object was evenly distributed. For those who were full of non-biological fields, we had an easy-to-understand explanation, focusing on the safety of our project, so that they could correctly consider the true usage of engineering bacteria. For undergraduate graduate students and teachers with relevant knowledge bases, we briefly explained the main technologies applied in our projects, deepening their understanding of our projects and seeking their opinions.
Internet propaganda
Since the beginning of the project, our team has run a WeChat public account to conduct online surveys, popular science, and game tracking records, and kept updating. We used the WeChat public account to release the news that we wanted to carry out offline activities in advance to attract more people to participate in the scene. Only when we made the number of proposers and respondents as much as possible, could we summarize enough data and make our projects more perfect .
Education
We have been aimed at helping students learn about biology and synthetic biology who were studying in primary schools and middle schools located in remote districts. And we did a good job. In July 2018, we reached out to middle school students initially. We called students coming from Heze Zhoulou middle school and held lectures about synthetic biology and the project of SKLMT China in Shandong University. We discussed about the hidden danger and the potential of engineering bacteria that we were assembling. Before they left, we welcomed their advice.We had a great time with these students. During the lecture, we received a amount of advice and questions from them. Then we got to Baima primary school in Yulin, Guangxi province and have classes with local students. Yulin is isolated from developed region of China. Compared to their peers in other cities, they have low education. By having free lessons given by us, local students had better understand of biology. Moreover the concept of genetic biology and synthetic biology were also introduced to them in plain verse.
The second revolution:
HAIXIN center
After we extensively publicized our projects, we wanted to combine our project with daily life and into the public life deeply, cigarette pollution came into our sight. Cigarette pollution exists in our daily life, each person more or less exposed to a second-hand cigarette every day, nicotine can cause harm to humans and pollute the environment. SKLMT-China visited the air purifier company HAIXIN. The manager told the team that actually most air purifiers used physical technologies such as negative ion technique to remove pollutants and kill bacteria. When we explained our ideas to him, the manager thought it’s not suitable to put engineering bacteria into the air purifier and it’s difficult of nicotine to concentrate. We learned a lot and we had to promote our project.
The State Key Laboratory of Microbial Technology
We contacted Dr. Li Zhen in The State Key Laboratory of Microbial Technology and discussed the experimental with him. Dr. Li Zhen's research topic is about the application of Red / Et homologous recombination and gene homologous recombination. He has a good understanding of the scientific principles of our project and supports our work on the engineering bacteria for nicotine degradation. At the same time, Dr. Lee has put forward realistic opinions and scientific treatment methods for the display problems encountered in our experiments. Finally, he hopes to be able to apply his own large fragment gene recombination technology to our project, and contribute to our project.
