HUMAN PRACTICE

Welcome in the Human Pratice section of our project !

First, we discussed the link between biology and society in general. Our reflection begins with an international survey to investigate the student perception from different countries around the subject of synthetic biology. Unsurprisingly, some people are still very skeptical about the notion of GMO.
As true IGEMers, we felt it is our duty to combat the misconception by communicating and sharing the ideas behind our project. As a follow-up, our so-called “Curly'on for dummies” is this group initiative where we promote synthetic biology and ex-plain its purposes and how it can benefit the community. Because Lyon is known for its bio-technology pole, we felt it was necessary to investigate lyonnese public opinion on these matters.

Secondly, our Human Practices work also focused on heavy metals, especially nickel, and the associated issues encoutered for the environment. It is important to enhance its environmental concentration levels and want to introduce a biofilter as a cheap alternative to get rid of water pollutants.
So Curly'on in 2050? That what we think about through a short novel.

As an evidence, the Human Practice played a key role in our project: it was not only our starting point but our main guideline.
