Brasil-UFSCar team held a series of activities that explored different aspects that bug-shoo reached in society. Since dengue affects all social classes and the solution lies in solving social, political and educational problems, our main motivation was to address the diversity that characterizes our society and the various problems related to dengue. So we developed activities with children from a poor community and we had the opportunity to know the reality of public service at our City Hall. We also deepened our involvement in education, promoting interactions between academic community and basic education, discussing the role of the University in social demands. We knew administrative sectors of UFSCar and created ways to raise money. We debated with other Brazilian teams. We also prepared a law project which provides free distribution of less toxic repellents without DEET. Finally, we reflected on aspects of our project that may be relevant to other teams, and how our experience can contribute to the formation of new iGEM teams. We hope our experiences can contribute to the consolidation of synthetic biology in Brazil. </p>

<p>The sets of activities in Policy and Practices represent all the features achieved by an iGEM project. Thinking of this, the Team iGEM UFSCar-Brasil realized innumerous actions that explored the different visions of Bug Shoo. We have a special motivation during our works in Policy & Practices, an accomplishment that reach the different topics and problems about dengue, and propose satisfactory and executory solutions. Thus, we realized since activities in a poor community, until a contact with São Carlos City Hall, helping the public service. We also transited for educational arena (sphere), promoting an interaction among academic community and the basic education, covering administrations sectors in UFSCar and looking for different ways to earn money. We related interactions with another Brazilian Teams and the importance to realize meetings, a great opportunity to brainstorms and change iGEM experiences. In addition, elaborated a Law Project that forecast a free distribution of repellents not based in DEET, reducing toxicity of products. Finally, our preoccupation was consider which aspects in our project could contribute in formation of new teams’ iGEM. We expected that our texts, reports and activities could serve as examples in P&P and that cooperate in synthetic biology consolidation in Brazil.  </p>

<p> Nosso time apresentou como principal objetivo a elaboração de uma Proposta de Lei aos políticos de São Carlos. Nossa ideia foi elaborar um projeto que atente sobre a distribuição de repelentes não à base de DEET e além disso, que auxilie na conscientização sobre os métodos preventivos contra a dengue. Procuramos também verificar na legislação brasileira, quais os princípios que facilitam a importação de materiais biológicos e que dessa forma contribua para a chegada mais rápida dos BioBricks ao Brasil. Por fim, realizamos um debate com profissionais de diferentes áreas, que nos auxiliaram na discussão dos diferentes aspectos que nosso projeto pode alcançar. Read more</p>

UFSCar-Brasil Team impacting society

Overview

The set of P & P activities represents all dimensions reached by project developed by iGEM teams. Brasil-UFSCar team held a series of activities that explored different aspects that bug-shoo reached in society. Since dengue affects all social classes and the solution lies in solving social, political and educational problems, our main motivation was to address the diversity that characterizes our society and the various problems related to dengue. So we developed activities with children from a poor community and we had the opportunity to know the reality of public service at our City Hall. We also deepened our involvement in education, promoting interactions between academic community and basic education, discussing the role of the University in social demands. We knew administrative sectors of UFSCar and created ways to raise money. We debated with other Brazilian teams. We also prepared a law project which provides free distribution of less toxic repellents without DEET. Finally, we reflected on aspects of our project that may be relevant to other teams, and how our experience can contribute to the formation of new iGEM teams. We hope our experiences can contribute to the consolidation of synthetic biology in Brazil.
