Science Fair in Freiburg
"Have you ever seen DNA?“ - This was the questions we asked the visitors at our booth at the „Wissenschaftsmarkt“ (science fair) in Freiburg. Everbody is hearing about DNA, but cannot really imagine what lies behind this mysterious substance. And as iGEMers we are working with it on a daily basis. One of our aims was it to bring our favorite molecule a little bit more in contact with people. At our booth people could get in contact with DNA and even extract it from bananas. We were able to show people real DNA and tried to de-mystify this completely normal molecule. While people were busy with mashing and precipitating we used the chance to inform on synthetic biology and its application in general and about iGEM in particular. We gained many surprised looks by people of all ages, as we pulled the DNA mixture from our mixture and even more as told that the genome of this fruit shares approximately 50% sequence identity with the human genome. We think we were able to reach a very broad public and busted some popular myths about the „blueprint of life“.
