BioBricks, Synthetic Biology in Atlanta (GSU/GaTech iGEM)
The Atlanta Science Festival is a week-long event dedicated to the celebration of science and technology. This year the festival attracted over 45,000 people
This year, GSUiGEM collaborated with the Georgia Tech iGEM team for this event. During the Exploration Expo, these main topics were discussed with Atlantans: What is iGEM/Synthetic Biology?; Ethical Concerns and Careers in Synthetic Biology. In addition, children (and even adults) could build their own Biobrick with legos

Assemble your Biobrick!
Find a promoter (is it constitutive? inducible?). Attach an RBS to it. Choose your own coding sequence. What did you make?
Legislative
Due to the stigma and legality issues surrounding cannabidiol, our team decided to be proactive to avoid bringing any negative attention to GSU or iGEM. We began by seeking approval from our university's biosafety committee by submitting our Institutional Biosafety Committee form. After we received their approval we began drafting a legislative handout about our project so that we could inform legislators about what we were doing and discuss the legal aspects. We then compiled a list of representatives to contact, and contacted their offices about scheduling a time to meet with the representatives. So far we haven’t been able to talk to any representatives directly about our project, but we are hoping to be able to reach several representatives before the Jamboree.
