Public Engagement and Education
Talk to the Public
We talked to the society about their opinions on synthetic biology, GMO and mosquitos, and their opinions have directed us the way to a better project.
Surveys
We have designed two questionnaires and distributed them online to investigate people’s attitude towards mosquito control and genetically modified organisms. Finally, over 860 responses were collected, for our results, click here
Synthetic Biology and iGEM Club
2/3 of students in the synthetic biology club haven’t got any chance to learn the issue of GMO and technologies in synthetic biology in a comprehensive view until they got into the club. Discussion in the club with these students is a perfect chance for us to get to know the attitude and concerns of the general public towards generic modification technology.
We have collected and discussed many frequently asked questions about GMO, like whether eating GMO would change people’s gene, whether eating GMO would cause cancer and what GMOs could be seen in daily life.
