Background
INTRODUCTION
To get to know the current status of Bio-design, we did both quantitative (questionnaire survey) and qualitative (deep interview) researches. The results indicate that:
- Both the bio-designers and students have interesting thoughts. However, they could not realize for the lack of lab techniques.
- The inspiration flew away, so does the ability of innovating.
- In-time assistance, such as a lab-free synbio tool, would benefit the public in cultivating bio-innovative ability.
Questionnaires
We received 252 questionnaire results from people with various backgrounds, indicating that:
- Most of the interviewees are fascinated by bioproducts or once had ideas of inventing one.
- The public are curious but ignorant about synthetic biology.
- Bio-lovers cannot realized their designs because of lack of lab experience.
- The public regard inventing a lab-free synbio tool the best way to popularize synthetic biology.
