Integrated Human Practice
Science is not just about doing experiment, should not be stay in laboratory. Project works and results must be obeys ethical issues. They are definitely can be able to answer to needs of public or society. After studies carried out for a long time by iGEM team members we reach really serious problem of people who have celiac decease. There is no other treatment for this illness except gluten-free diet. We tried to make society aware of difficulties which celiac decease people suffer from.
Education & Public Engagement
As METU Turkey, we make a considerable effort to present our project and raise awareness. Firstly, we focus on a conscious and knowledgeable society about our project, celiac decease. For this reason, the survey we done and also video we captured with significant amount of people are the most important parts of our human practice approach. Results of the Gluten intolerance questionnaire shows that 9.2% of surveyed people have celiac decease and these people suffer from some problems about gluten-free products. When we asked people that ‘’Should METU develop a more basic and cheap way for these gluten-free product or not?’’, 84.6% of answer was yes. This result gives us courage to continue our project and achieve our goals. Our video in title ‘’Gluten & Gluten-free Products Awareness’’ is the second important part of our human practice works. By this video, we can learn people knowledge level on celiac decease and in accordance with this information we can explain them this illness. In addition to that, we had chance to tell about our project, all people loved and support us.
An Interview with Prof. Doctor H. Canan Sümer
Prof. Doctor H. Canan Sümer graduated from METU department of psychology. After that, she got her phd from Kansas State University. Then, she started to work at METU department of psychology and she is still working there. We asked her some questions about celiac disease because she has been diagnosed with celiac disease quite recently. We wanted to know how she deals with this disease and what can she suggest to other people who also have celiac disease. This interview shows us what patients go through before and after celiac disease diagnosis. Therefore, this interview helps us understand what celiac disease patients need, which helps us improve our project.
