Overview On Human Practice
This year, we aimed to degrade PET, which is a kind of pollution source, with our modified enzymes PETase and MHETase. We believe that in the near future, it will be applied to tackle with the problem of white pollution. Meanwhile, the masses’ awareness of environmental protection should also be aroused. As a researcher, we are bound to popularize the knowledge of white pollution and synthetic biology. In addition, we discussed with many experts in respect of PET degradation research. They were all helpful and enthusiastic with suggestions on how we could improve our system. We conducted human practice in nine different aspects--Education, Industry, Society, Government, NGO, Law, Competition, Media, Businessplan.
Ⅰ: Primary School
On Sep. 23rd, 2016, we went to Baitangkou primary school to make a presentation, aiming to let more pupils learn about the conception of synthetic biology and arouse the consciousness of fighting against the plastic pollution and protecting our earth. During the class, these primary students answered the questions we raised enthusiatically, which revealed their interests in synthesis biology. The meaningful class ended up with intense debate on how to deal with white pollution.
Ⅱ: Middle School
On Sep.18th, we departed for Dagang No.1 Middle School. We gave a lecture to students about iGEM and synthetic biology. They asked questions with great enthusiasm and felt curious about the knowledge out of books. Although the speech was over till 5:30 p.m., some students were still asking about synthetic biology.They thought that knowledge they studied at school was traditional and out of date, iGEM could make them get in touch with the cutting-edge knowledge of synthetic biology. We are very delighted to bring students some new knowledge and meanwhile we invited them to visit our laboratory and conduct some experiments.
Ⅲ: University
On September 27th, five members of our team went to Tianjin University of Science and Technology (TUST) and gave a speech on what is synthetic biology and how to set up a iGEM team. Almost all the seats were occupied by audience.Since the term of iGEM competition is almost a band new term for them, they showed great interests and talked with us enthusiastically. We gave them a plenty of suggestions according to the experience of our project and finally they claimed that they would recruit members this semester and register for a team next year. .
