Human Practices
Educative axis
In this part of our Human Practices we performed activities focused to promote knowledge about Synthetic Biology and in impact in the society.
We were looking for non-scientific people, like common people in public places and highschool students, with whom we talked about Synthetic Biology, iGEM competition and our projects. We answered their doubts and we listened their opinions.
The activities that we developed in the educative axis of our Human Practices include informative conferences in schools, visits to parks and malls to survey and give information to people among others.
The Activities
Visiting malls in Bogotá D.C.
As scientist, we are very interseted in the difussion of science, in the creation of knwoledge and in education. With this motivation we were walking down the streets of Bogotá D.C, surronding important malls to talk with common people. We told them about synthetic biology, biotechnology in Colombia, iGEM and our projects. We resolve their questions about this topic ant we give them informative flayers with the basic information that everyvare must know about synthetic biology.
In addition we did surveys aimed to know the perception or any previous concepts that people had about synthetic biology. We asked them:
- Do you know what synthetic biology is?
- What do you think when you hear "synthetic biology"?
- Do you belive that colombian scientist carry out research in genetics and genetic modification of organisms?
- Have you ever heard about iGEM cometition?
We asked these questions to 40 random people, obtaining very interesting results:
Probably the most importat fact in this experience was the good attitude which people listened us and their curiosity to know more about synthetic biology and about the colombian participation in iGEM.
