Human Practices!
Outreach and Eduction
2015 Bay Area Maker Faire Spreading the love of synthetic biology
In May 2015, our team participated in the 2015 Bay Area Maker Faire. We presented the Stanford-Brown iGEM projects to a variety of people, from scientists to young children, and had interactive activities such as origami and DNA extractions to spread the love of synthetic biology.
Poster sessions and presentations Interacting with other researchers
We undertook several poster sessions and gave presentations during the summer to showcase our work at various events, including the California Academy of Sciences, NASA Ames ASL poster sessions, Stanford REU program presentation sessions.
Interviews Picking the brains of experts
We interviewed several scientists specializing in different fields, and asked them what they would do with biOrigami./p>
Collaboration Because collaboration between researchers is greater than the sum of its parts
We collaborated with the Edinburgh iGEM team on their biosensors and participated in the InterLab Study to help contribute to the iGEM community.
2015 Bay Area Maker Faire Synthetic biology as part of the Maker Movement
In May 2015, our team held a booth at the 2015 Bay Area Maker Faire. We discussed our team's project ideas, previous Stanford-Brown teams' projects, and synthetic biology as it fits into the Maker movement more broadly. We also led interactive activities such as origami folding and DNA extractions, and had posters with questions such as "If you could make anything with biology, what would you make?" with opportunities to write and draw answers. This was a great opportunity for us to get feedback from the public on our project ideas.
California Academy of Sciences Interacting with the public
We participated in poster sessions and gave presentations throughout the summer to showcase our work and learn from our peers. Our audiences included the the students at the NASA Ames Advanced Studies Laboratories, the participants of the Sierra Systems and Synbio Symposium, and the recipients of the Stanford Bioengineering Research Experience for Undergraduate grants.
