Synbio-Day
On a nice Saturday morning, we build up our pavillon in one of Tuebingen's main shopping streets to start our Synbio-Day 2015. The pavillon was hung with infographics about iGEM and synthetic biology in general to provide general information to people coming by. We also provided food and drink to any bypassers that were interested in further discussions.
People that came to our booth had the opportunity to take part in a quiz, in order to test and convey knowledge about synthetic biology. Exemplary questions were the definition of a gene and a genetically modified organism, or what happens to you if you were to consume genetically engineered food.
The people, who came up to our booth, had a broad variety of background knowledge. Ranging from layman to a doctorand in motor proteins we had lots of different interested guests. Discussing with them was very interesting, as we could either teach them something new, or even learn something from them.
In conclusion, we can say that the SynBioDay was a success and we hope, that we could share some knowledge with the general public in order to better inform them about synthetic biology and still some of their fears that were born from ignorance.
