Interviews

For our human practices we decided to answer the question "Is synthetic biology feared"? This was investigated by conducting small interviews in order to explore whether the topic of synthetic biology is feared and if so the reasons behind these fears.

Quantitative Data:

In order to collect quantitative data, we showed participants the following images during an interview and asks them to determine whether they perceived the image as being under synthetic biology, genetic modification, natural, or a combination of both.
