Questionnaire
We decided to take a survey to know how those around us and the general public think about synthetic biology and genetic engineering technology.
We prepared the questionnaire on the Web not only in Japanese but also in English to gather opinions widely.
We spread the address to access the format to answer by utilizing SNS like Facebook.
We would like to appreciate all the people who answered the questionnaire.
By 5 p.m. on 17th of October, we got 410 replies in Japanese version and 161 replies in English version.
We obtained cooperation from UI Indonesia iGEM team. So especially many responses from Indonesia were obtained.
The results of the survey will be shown below.
The green pie charts show the results of all responses, the blue ones show those of JAPANESE version, and the red ones show those of ENGLISH version.

The most common answer is “Amazing”. The second one is “Advanced”. Many people have positive image for genetic modification.
