As there are still a lot of Indonesia regions which are not really clean, we would like to hear the public point of view about this, the diseases correlating to the environment. Therefore, for our third and fourth survey, we had a dialogue with the public about synthetic biology application for healthcare. The human practice team and several members from the other division were divided into two groups. We approached the public one by one and had a discussion with them. From all of the 37 respondents, most of them answered diarrhea, followed by flu and skin diseases. In addition, the public thought that the main cause of the diseases are bacteria. The following wordcloud ( generated from: http://www.abcya.com/word_clouds.htm) shows the distribution of the answer.
After having dialogue about the diseases, we proceeded to the next question, about synthetic biology. Around 70% of the respondents whom we asked do not know about synthetic biology and the rest know about it. From this conversation, our human practice team could say that most of the public do not know about synthetic biology. In Indonesia, synthetic biology is still developing and only students/academia know about it.
After those questions above, we shared about synthetic biology to the respondents. After that, we asked the public impression about synthetic biology. Most of them think that synthetic biology is really awesome. The public gave us their support and expect that synthetic biology could solve the problems in the real world, including healthcare problems in the future.
