Instead, easy and intuitive way of the general public recognizing the severity of contemporary social problems should be provided, and therefore encouraage them to voluntarily participate in an effort to solve problems. We have systematically approached the issue by dividing the subjects of communication into three categories</font>.</p> |

| − | <h2>Introduction</h2>
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | <p>In Korea, many biologically-related affairs occurred like the cases above. Many interpretation can exists, explaining the reason behind the cause of the affairs, but we thought of 2 major reasons.</p>
| + | |
| − | <ul><li> Lack of measures and laws related to biotechnology</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Lack of Korean society’s interest to biotechnology</li></ul>
| + | |
| − | <p>We, as IGEMers, thought of solutions to solve these problems. </p>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <h2>Seminar on Strategy for National Defense Against Biothreat</h2>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <h4>Objective</h4>
| + | |
| − | <p>The seminar insisting the policy motion covering the preparation for potential threat of biotechnology was held in the Republic of Korean Parliamentarian Society.
| + | |
| − | Korea_U_Seoul participated this seminar, and could gain new insights on how bio-related-technologies can be misused threatfully.</p>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <h>Points we discovered through participation</h>
| + | |
| − | <ul>
| + | |
| − | - <li>As a policy maker, even elder statesmen of the National Assembly were not informed about the mechanism of bio-terrorism and the spread of infectious diseases.</li>
| + | |
| − | - <li>Despite the political status of divided country in the middle of ceasefire, Korea is not enough prepared for biological threats.
| + | |
| − | <ul>
| + | |
| − | <li>Lack of legislations and presidential organization</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Non-existence of integrated system for biological crisis and bio-terrorism prevention</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Inadequacy of being well-informed of foreign public health crises cases</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Lack of continuousness in supporting system and manpower</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Unclear command and control system</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Shortage in specialists and related supplies</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Lack of surveillance and preventive discipline at immigration office for dangerous areas visitors and residences</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Overpopulation of the emergency room: sudden patient increase in capital area located medical institutions</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Lack of citizen awareness</li>
| + | |
| − | </ul></li></ul>
| + | |
| − | <p>This seminar was executed with the purpose of improving above mentioned problems.</p>
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | <h>Korea U Seoul’s direction of activity set-up</h>
| + | |
| − | <ul>The difference exists between domestic and overseas bio-management system.
| + | |
| − | <li>As the first step of solving these problems, we searched on research management system / bio-management system related to bioethics and research ethics.</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Second, by hearing advises of experts from each field and gathering them, we desired to make a source book which can be used as a reference in policy making</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Third, we tried to contact the policy manager to deliver our opinion on this project</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Fourth, we desired the positive change in Korea’s biotechnology / synthetic biology management policy</li></ul>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <p>We proceeded through the first step, but failed in hearing advises from experts, so we revised our plan.</p>
| + | |
| − | <h>Reason of failure</h>
| + | |
| − | <ul><li>Limitation of professionalism – the fact that we were new to this field</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Lack of awareness and interest of specialists</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Communication problems with specialists</li></ul>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <p>BUT, we refused to give up. We came up with plan B.</p><p>
| + | |
| − | In order to provide an efficient system, active discussion among general public is necessary. Therefore, Korea_U_Seoul decided to set our sights on bringing about public concern and discussion on ongoing matters synthetic biology / biotechnology is facing. </p>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| | | | |
| | + | <h4>1. Communication with Academia and Industry </h4> |
| | + | <p><font-size:4px>The foremost area in which change is necessary is the domestic academia including currently working science professionals. Until now, domestic academia had focused on the single field of perspective as a method of recognizing the severity of contemporary social problems and attempts to solve them. However, the limitations of this method has been already revealed. This has drawn attention to potential possibilities of synthetic biology, which encompasses various academic fields such as biotechnology, engineering science and information technology. </p> |
| | + | <p>To contribute in changing this perception, Korea_U_Seoul had demonstrated the potential possibilities of synthetic biology through EMFC in SWEET 2016, an exhibition of new renewable energy where various domestic science research institutes and companies gathered. Furthermore, by observing and learning from research performances of other companies, we could expand our scientific insight and improve our project. Korea_U_Seoul’s effort will be a bridgehead to solve the continuing severance between respective fields in science. </font>.</p> |
| | | | |
| | + | <h4>2. Communication with Educational Fields</h4> |
| | + | <p><font-size:4px>Our project is not solely focused on change within the sphere of academia and industry. By providing young future scientists opportunities to learn and experience the significance of our team’s project, we could expect long-term waves of change starting by widening their insight. Our team had visited Hansung Science High School and had an educational session introducing our project, instilling the importance of synthetic biology as an academic field, and educating them proper values and attitudes required for scientists. The interaction with high school students was meaningful in that it provided the opportunity for future members of the science community to earnestly consider their individual roles within the society. </font>.</p> |
| | | | |
| | + | <h4>3. Communication with Local Communities</h4> |
| | + | <p><font-size:4px>Finally, besides current and future science professionals, we value communication with non-specialists as well. The driving force of solving contemporary social problems is rooted in the actions taken in the daily life of every members of society. Instead of the common notion that scientists tended to have of non-specialists as being a “subject of education,” we considered them as a “subject of communication”. Ultimately, we believe interactive communication between science and society should fundamentally be something that is induced by the voluntary participation of every member of the society in an effort to acknowledge and solve the global issues of the 21st century. Through the “Green Campus” activities carried out with Korea University and Seongbuk-gu citizens, we were able to let members of the local community realize the severity of contemporary social problems and the importance of synthetic biology as part of the solution to such problems. Conclusively we made them aware of the fact that small actions in their daily lives can lead to big changes. The activities with Green Campus was an opportunity for voluntary participation and interactive communication rather than simply one-way education, and we too were able to more deeply look into problems that local communities are facing. </font>.</p> |

| − | <h2>Communication</h2>
| |
| − | <p>As a first step of being a synthetic biologist who directly communicates with society rather than merely researching in a laboratory, we tried to interact with general public by educating and publicizing on synthetic biology.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>In order to accomplish above mentioned objective, we selected the theme of ethical issues synthetic biology / biotechnology is currently facing.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>Open Seminar</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The target was the general public who are interested in synthetic biology / biotechnology. The open seminar was an opportunity to directly communicate about iGEM and many other projects on synthetic biology, including the ethical issues.

| − | <h2>Associated BioConference</h2>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>Purpose</h4>
| |
| − | <p>In order to academically communicate with other biology-major undergraduates of Korea and make synthetic biology more widely known, we Korea U Seoul joined Associated BioConference consisting of YBSF of Yonsei University, LEBEN of Sogang University, HOLIC of Hanyang Universitiy, and LALS of Korea University. By actively participating and leading the Associated BioConference, we could not only explain the concept of synthetic biology, but explain the ethical issues following with the development of synthetic biology and possible solution to the issues. </p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>Activities</h4>
| |
| − | <ul><li>Education about synthetic biology</li>
| |
| − | <ul><li>Even biology major students couldn’t confidently define synthetic biology</li>
| |
| − | <li>As result of our introductory presentation to synthetic biology, we provoked interest and deliver knowledge of synthetic biology.</li></ul>
| |
| − | <li>Academic interaction with other biology-major undergraduate every month</li>
| |
| − | <ul><li>Associated BioConference acted as a group that can share insights and knowledge with other biology major students around Korea.</li></ul>
| |
| − | <li>Discussion about research ethics and bioethics</li>
| |
| − | <ul><li>Aside from academic topics usually discussed at the Associated BioConference, we raised question about ethics (both research ethics and bioethics). We discussed about role of synthetic biologists and biologists dealing with the above issues, and shared individual insights. By the thorough discussion, we had a chance to expand our thought and knowledge about ethical issues in biology, especially in synthetic biology’s field. </li></ul></ul>

| |
| − | <p>Korea U Seoul extensively worked in promoting environmental, and biological insights to students by activities such as open seminar and Green Campus Event. These work was acknowledged by Korea University Social Service Organization (KUSSO, http://kusso.korea.ac.kr) and we are being funded by the organization. This funding is unique, since we are the only funded club with the category of academic association (Korea University association of Synthetic Biology) in Korea University. We plan to hold a synthetic biology seminar for newly recruited member of our team after 2016 iGEM. </p>
