<h1><B>Human Practice</B> </h1>

<h2><B>How we integrated Human Practices</br> into our project</B></h2>

The unique expertise (i.e. lawyers, designers, scientists, engineers) of our team allowed us to take our project to another level; expanding on the discussions with professionals and truly incorporating human practice elements into all aspects of our project (i.e. science, design, and application). We were successful throughout the project, incorporating various sources of feedback and complementing the scientific advances with human practice activities.  

It was very interesting witnessing how this iterative process evolved as we discussed with professionals, scientists, and the public about our project. Our understanding and knowledge about synthetic biology deepened as the science portion of our project progressed. Thus, we had to take several important things into consideration to address various aspects of human practice.  

</br></br>

We hope to see Mos(kit)o live long and prosper! For this purpose, we documented our research in a way that would make it possible for future teams, or someone else, to benefit from our research and build upon our project!  </br></br>

    <h2>Zika Summit 2016</h2>

      <p>Zika Summit is a conference that aims to bring together scientists and public health professionals around the world working on Zika. We had the opportunity to present our project to professionals working on this arbovirus.

      <p> <B>CIBU</B> is the Urgent Response to Biological Threats at the Institut Pasteur, supervised by <B>Jean-Claude Manuguerra</B>. We presented our project in front of all members of the CIBU lab and exchanged ideas about our method of detection, our global device, and the intellectual property protection offered at iGEM during the Q & A session that followed  our talk.</p>

 

 

      <p>The <B>YRLS</B> is a conference organized by young researchers (PhD, Post-docs, junior faculty) that features an interactive program which includes poster sessions, talks and round tables designed for other fellow young researchers. The wide variety of represented disciplines and topics allows attendees to deepen their knowledge of their own research field while broadening their horizons.</br></br> We had the opportunity to present our project at the conference as a Poster.</br></br> <img class="photo" src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2016/1/1f/YRLS.png" width=70% alt="" /img></p>

 

      <h2>introduction to labWORK</br> FOR middle school student </h2>

      <p>The idea was to show in a very concrete way what are laboratory manipulations about. Thus bacterial culture and staining, plasmid DNA isolation, and protein crystals observation were conducted. The school Science, Technology and Maths teachers were also present. Gender equality in science observation and reporting was also also one of the points that was highlighted during the sessions.</br></br> <img class="photo" src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2016/4/4f/Lab_at_school.jpg" width=70% alt="" /img></p>

      <p> The Mos(KIT)O  system was simulated as a game with school students. In order to familiarize them to the growing problems relating to arboviruses, our team went to a middle school to simulate the scenario of our project through a game-like activity. They were asked to come up with a check-list of items to include in a trap, and also search for mosquitoes according to a prior explained affinity map (Forest, lakes, homes, wet areas etc).</br> </p>

 

 

      <h2>"jeu à débattre" with the association "arbre des connaissances"</h2>

      <p>On Thursday June 16th, the iGEM Pasteur team went to attend a "Jeu à débattre" that was hosted by the association, "arbre des connaissances". This is a debate practice or round table where several synthetic biology processes are made available to a few villages, and the inhabitants have to decide for the pros and cons of acquiring them, considering environmental, economical, and health benefits. Our role was to advise the players during the game, and then to have a little debate about synthetic biology and the ethical and moral questions it raises. We also addressed the “legal” aspect as viewed from the point of view of French and US Law. </br></br><img class="photo" src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2016/d/d2/Carte-de-lagglom%C3%A9ration.jpg" width=100% alt="" /img></p>

 

 

      <p>We met <B>Anna-Bella FALLOUX</B> (entomologist, head of Arboviruses and Insect Vectors (AIV) research unit in the department of virology at Institut Pasteur) to have detailed information on mosquito ecology/habitat (types:aedes, culex) and behavior during feeding sorties(anthropophily, hematophagy).</p>

 

 

      <p>The Ratheneau Institut is in cooperation with Synenergene, there aim is to foster an open dialogue on ethical research and innovation in synthetic biology. The Ratheneau Institut want to raising awareness of science and technology among public opinion and politicians. To do so they organize debates and conferences about science and technology.</br></br>

 

Since July, the Ratheneau Institut helped us to develop our project by guiding us on the steps for our scenarios. With their support and advice, we could develop an <B>Application Scenario</B> and <B>Technomoral Scenario.</B>  ! </p>

 

 

 

 

      <p>After a couple introductory lectures on research in design, biomaterials and synthetic biology, the Pasteur Paris iGEM 2016 team presented the Mos(kit)o project to the ENSCI-Les Ateliers school. This is one of the top design schools in the World (Red Dot Award 2015).</p>

 

      <p>The meeting with <B>Civic drone</B> was intended to discuss with professionals to have more accurate information concerning the use of drones. This strategy concerns the part of the Mos(kit)o project related to remote access to areas with difficult terrain/climate levels. In particular we wanted to discuss data archiving, uploading, deposition-retrieval and analysis of Mos(kit)o traps anchorage to the UAVs.</p>

      <p>The Paris Sud Jean Monnet university students Claudia, Victoire and Victor of Pasteur Paris iGEM made a presentation in front of the iGEM Team and Sandrine Daniel, head of the law of the Human resources Department of Institut Pasteur about Intellectual property law, the concept of Patents, and the aspect of iGEM Open science situation.
It was meant to toss around ideas to think about our project and its valorization in the future.</p>

 

 

 

      <p>With help from two other Parisian teams, iGEM Paris Saclay and iGEM IONIS, we hosted the iGEM Ile-de-France MeetUp on August 6 at the Institut Pasteur. This event was the highlight of our summer. The attendees of the MeetUp were people from iGEM Paris Bettencourt, iGEM Evry, iGEM Ionis, iGEM UPMC (IMPACT), iGEM Aix-Marseille (one member), and iGEM Paris Saclay. We indeed had to abide to strong security requirements considering current state of Emergency in France. </br></br> <img  class="photo" src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2016/3/37/ILE_DE_FRANCE.jpg" width=100% alt="" /img></p>
