So we prepared a simple survey and asked people questions in a lunchbreak. Approximately, 70 people attended this survey and we chose best 3 answer for you. Here are the questions and answers of them: |
+ | First page; | ||
+ | 1)What is synthetic biology, could you explain it in a sentence? | ||
+ | Science of life in labratory. | ||
+ | 2)What are the effects of synthetic biology in our lives? | ||
+ | Sort of enyzmes and some beneficial drugs for human health can be produced in the lab, researches can be done about DNA and hereditary diseases | ||
+ | 3)What do you think about GDO? | ||
+ | In lab, it is acceptable but in food industy, it would be prohibited by laws | ||
+ | 4)Could be a collobration between your department and Molecular Biology and Genetics? | ||
+ | My department is Computer Engineering and yes it is possible. With some softwares, the image can be clarified or zoomed. The temperatures of rooms can be stabilized by computer technologies | ||
+ | 5)In Genetics, which topic is investigated the most? | ||
+ | The structure of DNA and RNA Second answer page | ||

+ | Second page; | ||
1)What is synthetic biology, could you explain it in a sentence? | 1)What is synthetic biology, could you explain it in a sentence? | ||
+ | Biological structures which are produced by human, synthetically | ||
+ | 2)What are the effects of synthetic biology in our lives? | ||
+ | It can be used in treatment of lots of diseases or destruction of harmful genes. | ||
+ | 3)What do you think about GDO? | ||
+ | There are some discussions on it. Production might be more efficient but also might be harmful for human health. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4)Could be a collobration between your department and Molecular Biology and Genetics? | ||
+ | My department is Biomedical Engineering and it would be a very beneficial and efficient collabration | ||
+ | 5)In Genetics, which topic is investigated the most? | ||
+ | Cancer and relative diseases | ||
- | 2)What are the effects of synthetic biology | + | Third page; |
- | + | 1)What is synthetic biology, could you explain it in a sentence? | |
+ | İt can be defined as design and construction of new biological part or redesign of existing organisms for different fields like industry, food, medicine, etc. | ||
+ | 2)What are the effects of synthetic biology in our lives? | ||
+ | It is everywhere! In our foods, in our houses, in our medicines.. | ||
3)What do you think about GDO? | 3)What do you think about GDO? | ||
+ | Actualy it is a very hot topic and still there are researches and data about GDO. However i think it should be used. | ||
+ | 4)Could be a collobration between your department and Molecular Biology and Genetics? | ||
+ | My department is Food Engineering, so also now there are many collobrations between my deparment and MBG. | ||
+ | 5)In Genetics, which topic is investigated the most? | ||
+ | Cosmetics and anti-aging | ||

- | <h3> | + | <h3>iGEM Picnic</h3> |
- | <p> | + | <p> iGEMers knows, this project is a lifestyle. It takes all your time, tires you so much, needs your attention, doesn’t accept any fault… However, with iGEM, you enter a different world. You start to live and do everything with your team members and at the end, they became your family.. |
- | + | As an example of this strong friendship, in a hot august day, we decided to go to picnic. It was a wonderful day, we ate great stuff, passed a great day and saved energy for our future studies! </p> | |

iGEM is an international, scientific project, which teaches to future scientist how to be a real researcher. As you know it is not only doing experiments, it also requires awaring of ethical issues, social situation and needs of the public which you are in, safety of you,your colleages and your work. As the future scientists, METU iGEM 2014 team, we are all aware of these critical issues and while working we try to apply this on our project. When we are selecting our this year project’s subject we also based on this iGEM’s philosophy which believes making science is not just about doing experiment. We focus on the one of the most impoortant problems in nature, degredation of plastic more specifically PET. Also when we are doing activies for human practice , we had only one goal on our mind, spread science to all people and share our humble knowledge with everyone and have a little fun while doing these. -In our SynBio Survey our aim was determine the interest and knowledge of the students from our university about Syntetic Biology and Genetics. We had the chance to put 2 best answers to our wiki websites, but based on all answer we got from people we can say that there are still so much ignorance and misunderstanding about Genetics and Synthetic Biology. So, especially as future scientists we should try harder to inform people around us. -We wanted to do something about spreading scientific knowledge around us, we found the excellent way for that and organise a Synthetic Biology day! We knew that there are lots of people around us who wants to know more about Synthetic Biology. Our speakers was the people who focus especially on Synthetic Biology and most of them even personally take part in last years iGEM competitions. We as this years iGEM team and participants learned so much valuable things in this conference. -We met with young iGEMers from METU Development Foundation Schools and tried to share our last years’ iGEM experiences with them and perform basic procedures to do iGEM projects. It was so inspiring to met with these future scientists and we are very glad if we can teach them even a little thing. -We didn’t just work also had fun with science! We organize two party to met with new people and have fun together with help of science. Our first party was SynBio Party and it has a concept of science and Synthetic Biology. With help of this party we can explain what is synthetic biology and what is our aim. -And finally we get rid of our stress by smashing some PETs! We say our friends they have 10 seconds to smash plastic water bottles and record their achievements. Of course while playing this game people got curious about what are we doing and why. So we had to chance to explain our PET project to more people. PET degredation is a crucial thing but why it can’t be also fun? As an answer this question, we played a game with some team members and genetics students. In this game, we wanted from people to bend max number of plastic bottles in 10 seconds. Our aim is to tell people about our iGEM concept, our project and synthetic biology in an amusing way. Have fun
