Report
Synthetic biology is, compared to emerging technology such as nanotechnology, a relatively new subject and nowadays, most of the teams in iGEM are promoting iGEM and synthetic biology. It is important for societies to accept the conditions of a science for the sake of a more advanced research and development. The current status of knowledge distribution of synthetic biology is still yet to be even. Therefore iGEM community encourage teams to do some projects, aside from the main project, to communicate synthetic biology to the world.
This year our HKUST iGEM team decided to make specific project which analyse the evolution of human practice from year 2008 till 2013. We have taken more than 700 teams in the past 5 years and study the trend of human practice projects with the help of graphs. Our aim is to find out what is the impression of human practice in the eyes of the team members. The focus of our report for the trends are not only limited to a certain region. We widened our scope to analyse the whole entire iGEM team across the globe. Our motives are mainly classified to observe the mode of projects that were done for the past 5 years.
From this report, we hope that future iGEM teams might look into it and understand the classification of different projects being done and decide on their own about the most effective way to introduce iGEM and synthetic biology to the world.

The meaning of life is a philosophical question concerning the significance of life or existence in general. It can also be expressed in different forms, such as "Why are we here?", "What is life all about?", and "What is the purpose of existence?" It has been the subject of much philosophical, scientific, and theological speculation throughout history. There have been a large number of proposed answers to these questions from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds. The meaning of life is in the philosophical and religious conceptions of existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness, and borders on many other issues, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, the existence of one or multiple gods, conceptions of God, the soul, and the afterlife. |
Scientific contributions focus primarily on describing related empirical facts about the universe, exploring the context and parameters concerning the 'how' of life. Science also studies and can provide recommendations for the pursuit of well-being and a related conception of morality. An alternative, humanistic approach poses the question "What is the meaning of my life?" The value of the question pertaining to the purpose of life may coincide with the achievement of ultimate reality, or a feeling of oneness, or even a feeling of sacredness. |
