In the survey, 80% students choose paper and the results of the study, which is connected to the discipline they major in, within which more students choose to read papers, reports and the results of the specific researches based on the background of their own studies. And 40% choose to learn something about the development of the research of biology and concentrate on the macro aspects. Only 20% choose to learn something about the conjecture and something else of biology-lover, such as blogs and so on and the result is accommodated with question 1 with respect of the interest.

According to the investigation, papers and academic reports are the main access to the biology research for a freshman in college. Nevertheless, few students read the paper thoroughly. For most time, they just roughly get the message conveyed by the paper when they are finishing their class assignments. At the same time, academic reports seldom gets proper feedbacks from them. The popular science literature and the news on the websites also play an important role and reveal the degree of participation among the freshmen. Moreover, it is suitable for their knowledge deposits. It can be quite intriguing and it can in turn spread the researching message to a certain extent.

Following are the most favorite branches of biologic subject: neurobiology, systems biology, structural biology, synthetic biology. However, traditional subjects, such as phytology, zoology, biochemistry are not as popular as the above. So, we indicates that the reasons of the population of the favorite branches are the hot in medium, the big number of achievements, and the complex of cross between different subjects. At the same time, we found that the traditional branch will suffer the dilemma because of the lack of talents. Freshmen thought that it is very difficult for them to get great achievements in traditional subjects, so they would not like to do the research in this part. What’s more, the bad level of foundation course reduces the interests of freshmen.

In the freshman students think they have more contact with the biological stay in the experimental section, the theoretical part of their research is too dependent on the test itself, not logic. People want to be able to rely more on the future of biology researcher thinking. Biological theories are freshman students turning the main view. Expansion of space, update technology research, strengthening discipline interaction is also some freshman students’ opinions.

A survey on the public knowledge of genetically modified food

Question 1. Have you heard of genetically modified food?

Question 2. Where did you learn about genetically modified food?

Question 3. Which one(s) is(are) commonly genetically modified according to your knowledge?

Question 4. The proportion of GM food in your daily consumption

Question 5. What is your attitude towards GM food, and why?

Analysis

Media preference dominant public opinion on GM food.As can be seen in the pictures, a rather large proportion of the participants receive information concerning GM food through TV programs, magazines, newspapers, and the internet, which means the news agencies behind these information terminals have a large role to play in terms of public awareness.

The competitiveness of GM food mainly comes from its price and quality.According to the GM food supporters, the main competitiveness of GM food come from its prices and its nutritional advantages due to genetic engineering. These people have a deeper understanding of GM food, and they even can tell me why GM food can be sold at a much cheaper price (like the reduction on the use of pesticides).

Logic trap -- Harmful till proven safe.Not a single scientist have the courage to make a universal affirmative judgment on the safety of GM food, leaving it to a suspended problem so that media can build their ‘imaginations’ upon. And to the public the best way possible is to assume GM food to be harmful until clearly proven safe.

When we look at the survey as a whole, we still find the general public very concerned about the safety of GM food, and they're not worrying about nothing. The genetic drift is literally an issue we have to deal with if we are to develop GM food. So this problem gave us inspirations in the future of our project. We should care more about the genetic drift issue. And this is where exactly our idea about the gene safe box idea come from. So special thanks to the lovely people who were really kind and sweet to spare their time to help us with our survey!
