OVERVIEW

Amoy has done a lot of work about Human Practices this year.

The most special part is Newsletter and we list it out as a module in the navigation menu.

Apart from Newsletter, we tried our best to promote synthetic biology and iGEM to the public, especially to the freshmen during and after their registration.

We also talked with Prof. Lin Zhanglin from Tsinghua University about the current situation of synthetic biology.

To have a better interaction with iGEMers, we communicated and collaborated with different teams.

Let’s start!

At the same time, we managed to convey knowledge relevant to synthetic biology and iGEM to college freshmen during and after their registration. To make it specific, we designed exquisite brochures and handed them out, answering questions with all our forces.

After doing a short survey, we drew a conclusion that students in upper classes and the same year found it necessary to lecture newcomers. They argued that it is an effective way of communication between seniors and freshmen. Thus we finally held a Teach-in in the Lecture Hall of College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering on Aug. 29th. It is really delighted to see that many freshmen showed their great interest in iGEM competition and synthetic biology. Some students aired their opinions on GMOs like GMF (Genetically Modified Food). A steady influx of freshmen joined our QQ group after the promotion. Hope their interests in synthetic biology last long.
