          <p class="info-18">We participated in a poster  session held at University of Tokyo on May 18th. iGEM teams from all  over Japan<a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014/thumb/4/49/Tokyo_Tech_Poster_session1.jpg/800px-Tokyo_Tech_Poster_session1.jpg"><img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014/thumb/4/49/Tokyo_Tech_Poster_session1.jpg/800px-Tokyo_Tech_Poster_session1.jpg" alt="" width="316" height="205" class="image_right" /></a> gathered at this event and introduced their project to the visitors. Not only students and professors at the university, but also people without any  scientific background came and listened to our projects. After introducing our projects, we asked  visitors  for feedbacks to  make our projects better. Our main purpose of this event was to  make people know what iGEM is, and change the negative  thinking  of synthetic biology, which people usually have. </p>

          <p class="info-18">To introduce our projects to  the visitors, we made a poster for each project. We tried our best to make it  easy for people from any background to understand by using figures. Besides posters  for our projects, we also made an introduction of iGEM to get more people know  about it. </p>
 
-
          <p class="info-18">Here are the five projects that  we introduced at the poster session: solar battery, treatment for pollen  allergy, lie detector, E. coli Bank, and fertilizer. </p>

In this  project, we made a solar battery by using photosynthetic bacteria and current  generating bacteria to generate power. Wherever sunlight shines, electricity can be  generated by this solar battery. It  has been invented in some institutes, but the low efficiency and inconvenient  hardware still tend to be a problem. Therefore, we tried  to improve the efficiency of existing bacteria-using solar battery to  make it practical.</p></td>

              <td><p align="left" class="info-18">In Japan, it is said that one  in five people suffers from pollen allergy. More than twenty million people  have this symptom and the number is increasing every year. In order to cure  this, we thought of using E. coli in immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is one of the  recently developed treatment which can completely cure the allergy symptom. You  put the allergen into the body from very small amount, and by gradually increasing  it, you can suppress the body′s excess allergic reaction. However,  there are several defects in this treatment. You have to go to the hospital for  treatment many times, and it takes three to five years for a complete recovery.  By using E. coli, we tried to invent a faster and easier immunotherapy.</p></td>

Phosphorus included in the fertilizer becomes  insoluble by binding with metals, such as aluminum and calcium. Since plants  cannot absorb these immobilized phosphorus, the phosphorus accumulates in soil.  To solve this problem, we decided to use E. coli to degrade the immobilized  phosphorus into phosphoric acid which plants can absorb. After producing  phosphoric acid, E. coli stores it in its body in a polymeric form. By  collecting these E. coli and extracting the polymer, we can retrieve the  phosphorus left in soil.</p></td>

Good points were written on yellow Post-it, and bad points  or suggestions were written on blue Post-it. We reflected the feedback and  comments from the visitors to make our projects better (The comments that visitors gave  for each project are listed in Table 1) We thank all the visitors  for cooperating us in this poster session.</p>

However, by introducing the properties of E.  coli, they changed their mind. On the Post-it, there were many opinions saying  that they were looking forward to new inventions using E. coli. We can say that  our goal, which is letting people know and changing the negative  thinking of  synthetic biology, has been achieved.<br />
