In order to reach Synthetic Biology to the public, to ease their worries on this before the public can make good use of it, we designed a variety of methods to introduce and promote Synthetic Biology to the outsiders.
Last year, we had designed a mini-questionnaire to know more about the perception of the public on Synthetic Biology. To achieve more, we put much more effort in human practice this year.
The questionnaire this year was done in a greater scale with larger sample sizes. Also, the participants were from a wider variety of academic background as well. Besides understanding the perception, we stressed on more about the safety issue this time. Other than the questionnaire, we have also organized several talks that target different types of audience. For instance, we held high school talks to interest our leaders in future generation. Besides we also want to raise the public awareness on the issue of safety. Our instructors had got a risk assessment report so as to ensure our safety during the project. We hope our effort in human practice can blossom into greater public awareness and acceptance of Synthetic Biology in the future.
