Human Practices


ADD Basic Description of Outreach: Library + Baxtor and how it promotes synthetic biology In hopes of creating a lasting impact on not only our community, but also the public in general, we decided to educate both children and their parents about the wonders of synthetic biology. The Adventures of Baxter Bacteria is a book we developed to tell a fun story while allowing children to become familiar with areas of science that have been seen in the past as scary. To supplement their reading, we came up with a parental guide so parents can learn along with their kids. In order to see our impact we had several parents and their children take pre and post-test surveys asking them questions about their views on sythetic biology. TALK ABOUT SURVEY RESULTS HERE?
