SmoColi human outreach |
Human practice is an important part of iGEM. Synthetic Biology and the idea of a parts registry is not well-established in the general public. It is important to inform people of the potentials, but also the risks of synthetic biology. For our human practice we decided to do several things. On one side we were present with a talk and discussion round at the “CBB come together afternoon” to introduce iGEM to the new master students. On the other side we were present at the Open house day of the department of Bioscience and Engineering (D-BSSE) of the ETHZ to bring SmoColi to public. |

We were also present at the open house day. We presented a Poster, showed our simulations on a computer and did a survey. We used the opportunity to discuss our project with the Basel public and also with other scientists.
