<p>iGEM teams are leading in the area of Human Practices because they conduct their projects within a social/environmental context, to better understand issues that might influence the design and use of their technologies.</p>
+
#sideMenu
−
<p>Teams work with students and advisors from the humanities and social sciences to explore topics concerning ethical, legal, social, economic, safety or security issues related to their work. Consideration of these Human Practices is crucial for building safe and sustainable projects that serve the public interest. </p>

            We conducted an interview with Professor Danny Chan upon biosafety in September, 2016.
 +
            Professor Chan is the Assistant Dean (Research Postgraduate Studies) of the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong. <br>
 +
            The interview focused mainly on the biological research laboratory safety, related regulations and research ethics.
 +
            He emphasized the importance of educating incoming students on lab safety.
 +
            For instance, there is an orientation talk hosted by the safety office for all new postgraduates.
 +
            The postgraduates are required to pass a safety test before entering the laboratories.
 +
            In addition, he gave his opinion on the impact of current Hong Kong regulations towards scientific research development.
 +
            He does not think that the regulations hinder scientific research as the purpose of the regulations is to protect the general public from any laboratory accidents.
 +
            This following is a complete recording of our conversation with Professor Danny Chan.<br>

 +
            After the filming of the interview, the representatives had a conversation with Professor Chan on the bacteria used in our project.
 +
            He suggested us conduct a risk assessment on the E. Coli strain we were using.
 +
            Therefore, <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Team:Hong_Kong_HKU/Safety">here</a> we present the risk assessment of the mentioned strain, relating to our project. <br>

            “Well, I hope you love your project. Get HKU a Gold Medal and something special this year”.

                    held by the Joint School Science Exhibition Preparation Committee (J.S.S.E.P.C.).
 +
                    Each of the secondary school teams, or project holders (PH), gets to work on a project based on an annual theme.<br>
 +
                    This year, project holders gather and present their innovations to the public with the main theme ‘Connection’.
 +
                    For details, please visit the official website of the <a align="left" href="http://www.jsse.org.hk/">JSSE</a> and individual teams.<br>
 +
                    Our team, The HKU iGEM Team 2016 was delighted to participate in the exhibition as a local University Delegate (UD),
 +
                    in which we were given opportunities to present our project ideas to the public.
 +
                    We also had the chance to educate the public about the basics of synthetic biology, which includes fundamental genetics, biomedical concepts and analytical techniques through posters and self-made models.

                    After the exhibition, we obtained the skill of explaining those sometimes complicated scientific theories to the general public in layman terms.
 +
                    This kind of scientific communication skills is essential for scientists to gain support from the general public and to inspire future generation of scientists through education.
 +
                    We were glad to have this experience while we are still undergraduates.

Human Practices

Synthetic biology does not exist solely in the laboratory, as a discipline of Science, it exists in the society with all other subjects.
Throughout the summer, we tried to enhance the interface between society, our project, the iGEM competition and Synthetic Biology as a whole.

Integrated Human Practices

We conducted an interview with Professor Danny Chan upon biosafety in September, 2016. Professor Chan is the Assistant Dean (Research Postgraduate Studies) of the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong.
The interview focused mainly on the biological research laboratory safety, related regulations and research ethics. He emphasized the importance of educating incoming students on lab safety. For instance, there is an orientation talk hosted by the safety office for all new postgraduates. The postgraduates are required to pass a safety test before entering the laboratories. In addition, he gave his opinion on the impact of current Hong Kong regulations towards scientific research development. He does not think that the regulations hinder scientific research as the purpose of the regulations is to protect the general public from any laboratory accidents. This following is a complete recording of our conversation with Professor Danny Chan.

Presenter: Shannon Ho
Filming: Hei Wai Lai, Canaan Yung, Aaron Lam
Editor: Janice Law
After the filming of the interview, the representatives had a conversation with Professor Chan on the bacteria used in our project. He suggested us conduct a risk assessment on the E. Coli strain we were using. Therefore, here we present the risk assessment of the mentioned strain, relating to our project.
Epilogue by Prof. Chan:
“Well, I hope you love your project. Get HKU a Gold Medal and something special this year”.
And this is what we are striving for.

Outreach and Public Engagement


The Joint School Science Exhibition is a local secondary school based science competition in Hong Kong, held by the Joint School Science Exhibition Preparation Committee (J.S.S.E.P.C.). Each of the secondary school teams, or project holders (PH), gets to work on a project based on an annual theme.
This year, project holders gather and present their innovations to the public with the main theme ‘Connection’. For details, please visit the official website of the JSSE and individual teams.
Our team, The HKU iGEM Team 2016 was delighted to participate in the exhibition as a local University Delegate (UD), in which we were given opportunities to present our project ideas to the public. We also had the chance to educate the public about the basics of synthetic biology, which includes fundamental genetics, biomedical concepts and analytical techniques through posters and self-made models. Below are the photos taken throughout the exhibition period (Aug)

We distributed introductory booklets to the visitors and DNA double helix folding sheets to the children to enhance our interactivity as well as to expand our target audience.
The booklet is of a bilingual version (in English and Chinese) with contents relating to the iGEM competition, Synthetic Biology with its application, and course, our project. The online version of the booklet can be found here.
