Human practices
Overview
As Peter Carr says,"Human Practices is the study of how your work affects the world, and how the world affects your work". We think,the iGEM is colorful, and we should combine science with the society, towards our vision of a healthier, greener and sustainable world. This year, we mainly focus on infectious microbes and unpleasant smell in external environment waste beaker, and internal environment armpit. Throughout our project, we interviewed some related stakeholders, consulted with experts of different aspects and communicated with common people to evaluate our project and get some feedback to improve it. What’s more, it’s an public engagement and education that we aim to show the magic and applications of synthetic biology.
Intergrated Human Practices
It is very important to societal considerations throughout the design and execution in our project. So we set up good dialogues with stakeholders and continuously sought input from experts in different fileds. Also we put safety into consideration.
Engagement
&
Public Education
We held a summer camp about synthetic biology and public activities to show our motivation and the magic of the applications of synthetic biology. Based on our project, we made a handbook to popularize the bacteriostatic knowledge and have more people to know about us.
Collaboration
During the course of our project,we have built up good friendships and keep communica-tion with many teams. In addition, we helped each other to analyze data, develop models and so on. We are always willing to show our sincerity in collaborations to many other teams.
