Lecture
On Sep. 9th, Xu Chumeng and Liu Huarui gave a lecture on our project and current topics in synthetic biology as part of the conference for leaders in sci-tech education of High school and elementary school students in Beijing. Teachers, high school students and researchers on Bioinformatics, Heredity, Molecular Biology and Botany gathered in Beijing No.8 Middle School aiming at enacting educational plans on science and technology research for high school and elementary level students.
After presenting our project, Chumeng, as an alumna of Beijing No.8 Middle School, shared her experience on high school sci-tech research experience and how it had led to synthetic biology research in Tsinghua. We received a lot of useful insights on our projects from attending researchers. An overview on the current topics in synthetic biology and its applications was delivered by our two teammates. We found that interdisciplinary subjects like synthetic biology still lack awareness among students below collegiate level and their educators. The high school students present at the conference showed keen interest in the topics, even raised a few issues worthy of consideration such as novel application of gene editing, “crazy” but creative ideas in the field of synthetic biology.

Ethics
Genetic editing and genetic therapy (especially those involving transgenesis), key applications of TALE, raise several noticeable ethics problems (listed below).
1. In regard of current lacking of legal treaty on such issues, uncontrolled access to such technologies may cause unpredictable chaos.
2. Experiments conducted on genetic therapy may pose threat to human life.
3. Transgenesis and genetic modifying may have long-term effects on the environment
4. It might be hard to set the boundaries between species with gene editing taken into consideration.
5. Transgenesis may have negative influence on animal welfare.
