Policy & Practices

How UFSCar-Brasil affects the society

Overview

The sets of activities in P&P 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.

Political

A tentativa de nosso time em apresentar uma proposta de Lei que atente a distribuição de repelentes não à base de DEET e além disso, tomar medidas que auxiliem a importação de materiais biológicos. Também realizamos um debate com profissionais de diferentes áreas, que nos auxiliaram na discussão dos diferentes aspectos que nosso projeto pode alcançar. Read more

Social

A atividade no bairro São Carlos VIII procurou conscientizar crianças e a população local sobre a problemática do lixo e sua relação com a dengue. Dessa forma, o Time procurou abordar os principais aspectos da doença, suas consequências e formas de prevenção comuns e alternativas. O Time organizou uma peça teatral “As bactérias superpoderosas contra a dengue”, procurando utilizar a temática da doença e o papel da ciência em solucionar problemas. Read more

Educacional

Durante vários momentos o Time procurou inserir a biologia sintética e suas aplicações aos diferentes níveis educacionais. Organizamos um Ciclo de Seminários no curso de Biotecnologia da Universidade, participamos de oficinas e apresentações em congressos além de tentar levar a biologia sintética para escolas de ensino médio. Read more

Environmental

O Time quis assegurar que o limoneno era realmente um composto de baixa toxicidade em relação ao DEET. Para tanto conduzimos um experimento simples utilizando feijões que receberam diferentes tratamentos. Read more.

BioBricks

Os problemas com a entrega dos BioBricks e as possíveis soluções que facilitariam esse procedimento. Veja como nossa equipe superou esse problema. Read more.

Meetings

A realização do Jamboré Brasil, no mês de julho, reuniu três times brasileiros participantes do iGEM 2015. A reunião trouxe interação dentre os times, além de propostas e desafios que os projetos possivelmente enfrentarão no Giant Jamboree. Além disso, saiba como nosso Time está contribuindo para o surgimento de novos Times iGEM no Brasil. Read more.

Fundraising

Apresentamos como nosso Time utilizou diferentes formas de arrecadação de dinheiro para o pagamento das inscrições, seja por meio de patrocinadores até a venda dos brigadeiros. Read more.
