Silver
Our human practice work involved several questions relating to biosafety,social justice and public acceptance.Our astarice is actually a genetically modified organism,so our work focus on people’s concern about GMO.
1. Improve ourselves
First of all,we should make sure that we ourselves have correct understanding on this question.For this reason,we took part in lectures about transgenic.
The first lecture was given by Kou Jianping ,who is director of the Department of “genetically modified organisms safety management and Intellectual Property Office” from “Department of Science, Technology and Education” in MOA(Minstry of Agriculture) of China,and Lin Min,who is director of Institute of Biotechnology of CAAS(Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences).In this lecture，we got to know that transgenic foods,that are saling in market are absolutely safe.For they were tested by associated departments and labs for many years in scientific way.And up to now，there're only a few kinds of transgenic products have gotten permission into Chinese market. After lecture,we communicated with this scientists about new technologies on transgenic research.
Apart from that,we've also took part in a talk given by Wu Yongning,who is the director of “Key Laboratory of Food Safety Risk Assessment,Ministry of Health”,which belongs to China National Center forFood Safety Risk Assessment (CFSA).In this talk,we obtained a lot of informations in analysing GMO.
As we are working to create a new kind of crop,we think we should also know more about agriculture,so we joined in The Sixth Asian Conference on Precision Agriculture as voulnteers.
2. Innovative and venture talk
As most undergraduate students are having no idea about how to do a biological project,we made a talk on innovative and venture talk held in our college.We gave a speech about our two projects and ways to do biological research,such as how to get paper from some databases and how to communicate with professors.Our talk attracted more than 300 students,most of them are impressed by our fantastic ideas.
3. Laboratory open day
As many of freshmen in our college are eager to learn more about lads and biological research,we took the charge of laboratory open day for freshmen in our lab.We led our freshmen students to visit our lab,introduced equipments' function and showed our team video and posters.For many students,it's their first time to visit an advanced biological lab,so many students were strongly impressed by our well managed lab.
Several months later,a group of high school students from many famous middle schools in Guangzhou came to visit our university.Our college decided to open our lab for visiting,and we took charge of this open day again.We tried our best to make this open day a success activity,for the reason that many of those young high school students might be impressed by this experience and make their decision to work in science and engineering in the future.
4. Making guideposts
Our university has quite a large campus,which contains several districts,so it is normal that visitors get lost in our campus.To help new students in finding their directions,we made many "iGEM guideposts" and placed them in different corners of our campus.We want to provide convenience for others.Meanwhile, we also want to popularize scientific knowledge.
5. Making biological graffiti
Many students of our university live in a dormitory area which is far away from the main campus.If we want to go to our lab or library,we have to cross a culvert,which is dark and boring.In this year,College of art of SCAU sponsored an beautification of this culvert.We participated in this activity and painted a part of this culvert.Our graffiti showed out a big plant cell and its ultra-structure.
6. Making iGEM video
To most college students,science is always not as attractive as sports or computer games,but why can’t we show science in a cheerful and colorful way?For this reason,we made this video to introduce our team and synthetic biology in a simple way.
