In our last interview, we have introduced the founding captain of iGEM SCUT team——Zhang  Junjie to you. This time, I’m going to introduce you the founding captain of Jilin University’s IGEM team, Han jia, a blossoming man of science who have always wanted to become a Public educator. In the following passage I will share you why he wants to become an educator, what he has done to contribute to the dynamic synthetic biology as well as his experience of importing IGEM to his university and how he forged his own team.

The meeting lasting 2 days was organized by HZAU, WHU and HUST iGEM teams. The contents consisted of three main parts: senior iGEMers’ reports, project presentation by each team, and the discussion of debugs in experiments. On the morning of 23th  August, Dr. Tang Jun, the professor of HZAU participated in the opening ceremony and gave a welcoming speech. Then we watched the video made by the chairman iGEM Head Quarters specially for the meeting. It was really helpful and wonderful. After the opening ceremony, the seniors Zhang Haoqian and Liu Yang coming from Peking University and Ocean University of China gave us two important speeches, sharing their abundant experience about iGEM. It really paid to learn.

You can make time to attend classes and do your homework in the daytime and you only need to do experiment at nights when you don’t have classes. Basically you don’t have a weekend. With winter and summer vacations together, you can rest for over half a month in total and the intensity of study and doing experiment is nothing less than graduate students……

HanJia began reading a lot of educational books, such as pedagogical psychology at a young age, and became interested in pedagogy. Afterwards he started to become an enthusiast on studying the educational joint projects,and he even involved in many fields of study including economics,ethnics ,psychology, philosophy, management, arts, and medicine, this reading process of absorbing various aspects of knowledge has greatly enriched his study of the life science. When Hanjia first went to the university, he started to be active in child education & community services together with his like-minded friends, and from then on, he had set his heart on a career in the cause of education. Although he gave up his dream career temporarily for many reasons afterwards, he learned great deal from this practices and he indeed made a lot of practical and useful proposals to his old school : Jilin University and Shenyang Pharmaceutical University. To conclude,he is a  man with kindness,conscience and public spirits,and he dares to face any challenge and tries his best to overcame them uitimately.

2. Academic career

To fall in love with iGEM, you need to be absolutely single-minded. When I just became a sophomore, in order to get closer to science, I gave up the chance of keeping on working in the Public Relations Department of BBT. Later I meet iGEM by chance, so I quit my job of Judge Committee in the Red Cross in our school and as for the student work, I only stay in the Party Branch of my major. Later practice proved my choice to be correct, and necessary—in order to accomplish the task of iGEM better, I must make time for it from other affairs, and quitting other job is responsible for old colleagues.

The present goal of Han is to become a researcher of Beijing Life Science Research Center.And he had already done researches in the labs of Jilin University for 2 years and a half as an exchange student of Joint training of Life Science College of Jilin University. During that time, he not only achieved many challenging academic studies, but also joined substantial practical activities. In Dec. 2011, he became a researcher of the Key Laboratory of Ministry of education Jilin University molecular enzyme engineering, and joined the "Jilin University undergraduate innovation experiment research" as a project leader. Then he studied in Zhang Zuoming’ project called Molecular cloning and characterization of cellulose CpCel9 and its mutants in Enzyme engineering 204 which then enriched his knowledge about Enzyme engineering. He is also a cure researcher of the academic department of the College of life science as well as the school committee of science and technology association propaganda department director who helped to hold "Jilin University" Challenge Cup "Gold Award", "team six campus cup" Impulse Cup "campus marketing competition" and "Jilin University" top ten students selection”. What’s more he also managed to hold the “meeting of exchange of learning in School of Biology”, “meeting of exchange of learning between Research and Undergraduates” and many other academic activities.

After his exchange experience, he went back to Shenyang Pharmaceutical University to continue to do other science researches. And he joined in the Lab of Xi Huanzhang to study Joint related technology transfer gene transfer method and the research of gene function, which grew his interest in Aminoglycoside antibiotics combinatorial biosynthesis related with microbial agents and synthetic biology research.

Even more important than thinking of your “principle”, however, is that everyone should bring their special skill into play to make contribution to the team, meanwhile refer to others to find your shortcomings and then improve them.

Mr Han told us that it is the movie" there we were" arouse his interest in Peking university and the school life there. Then he started going through lots of videos about there. By chance, he found the video about the iGEM team in Peking university. From then, the little seed was growing in his heart , which bring him the dream that one day he would has his own team taking this top competition in biology filed. During his year 2. He joined the lecture which was given by the researcher, Li Yan from the institute of microbiology as well as the summer camp in Shanghai Jiaotong university which are all quite relevant to iGEM. All of these brought him more and more close to synthetic biology ,and laying the foundation of establish the iGEM team here.

One iGEMer’s Monologue

If you ask me, will I be busy if I join the iGEM and prepare for competitions, I would say, you are more relaxed on weekdays.

You can make time to attend classes and do your homework in the daytime and you only need to do experiment at nights when you don’t have classes. Basically you don’t have a weekend. With winter and summer vacations together, you can rest for over half a month in total and the intensity of study and doing experiment is nothing less than graduate students……

Besides, I will add, “I’d like to. “after you’re shocked.

To fall in love with iGEM, you need to be absolutely single-minded. When I just became a sophomore, in order to get closer to science, I gave up the chance of keeping on working in the Public Relations Department of BBT. Later I meet iGEM by chance, so I quit my job of Judge Committee in the Red Cross in our school and as for the student work, I only stay in the Party Branch of my major. Later practice proved my choice to be correct, and necessary—in order to accomplish the task of iGEM better, I must make time for it from other affairs, and quitting other job is responsible for old colleagues.

I ‘ve lost my principle since I became a member of PR department. I believe many students who participate in students’ work have such feeling.

Indeed, a reasonably-configured team must consists of members of different personalities and values.Everyone’s experiences that haven’t been gone through by others and ideas that haven’t been heard by others can be shared or gossiped. New ideas will also appear in the process of working together and communication.

Even more important than thinking of your “principle”, however, is that everyone should bring their special skill into play to make contribution to the team, meanwhile refer to others to find your shortcomings and then improve them. I always believe teamwork is a process of mutual benefits and winning—theoretical knowledge and communication on technique help us make progress together, and are good for promotion of the project. Besides, in the process of design and realizing the project, we learn what we need to learn, so our ability of self-learning naturally improved. Practicing by ourselves lets us know the use of the knowledge obtained during the course, and we learn with more concentration. In small aspect, we improve each other, and in big aspect we achieve “combination of industry and research”. In short, I become better from head to foot after joining the iGEM.

Lastly, I would like to tell my friends “grasp the opportunity; seize the moment”.
