| − | <p class="space20">There are significant ethical considerations with the production of bioengineered food supplements. By talking to cancer charities, people who run trials to test the effects of diet on health, and the public we found out that while the genetic engineering of food is still controversial in Europe, opinions may differ when the reasons for engineering are for the prevention of cancer. You can read all about these studies on our <a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:NRP-UEA-Norwich/Practices" style = "color: #002bb8;">Practices page</a>.</p>

| − | <p class="space20"> We have expanded on our Integrated Practices because we are making foods and food supplements about which we would like to make a health- claim. We investigated how we would collect data to show if our products reduce cancer incidence in humans. We consulted experts in the Medical and Nutrition Faculty who have expertise in designing intervention/ feeding studies. </ p> | + | We entered the Food and Nutrition Track and gave a <a href="https://2015.igem.org/files/poster/NRP-UEA-Norwich.pdf" style = "color: #002bb8;">poster</a> and a <a href="https://2015.igem.org/files/presentation/NRP-UEA-Norwich.pdf" style = "color: #002bb8;">presentation</a>. We achieved a Gold Medal and were also nominated for the Best Food and Nutrition Project Award and for the Best Education and Public Engagement, Undergrad Category.</p> |
| − | | + | |
| − | <p class="space10">Having learned about what can be tested and measured and what de-regulation is needed for testing, we designed a theoretical feeding trial that they evaluated for us. Should we develop a product that performs in animal trials we could now progress to deregulation and funding for human trials. There are many projects aiming for healthier foods but few that consider how to prove this experimentally. </p>

| − | <p class="space20">We also expanded on our outreach and communication activities. Norwich, our home city, is a UNESCO City of Literature. We wanted to find a way to work with published, and experienced creative writers to make the narrative about bioengineering available to a new audience. In initial discussions the topic of the contrasting emotions of awe and anxiety people feel about science and scientists came up and we decided to talk to professional poets about our project to see how their emotional responses would be communicated. The process was rewarding and is still ongoing as the creative writing process takes time.</p>

Although our projects are not related, we have also used a plant chassis for part of our project and have assembled parts according to RFC106 to which last year's team contributed.</p>
