TEDx Salon

Introduction

TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. TEDxSYSU is a program designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at Sun Yat-sen University.

In order to let people know more about synthetic biology and IGEM project. On September 15, 2013，Our team cooperated with SYSU-China(another iGEM team）and TEDx SYSU(an authorized TEDx organizer) . We held a TEDx salon in our campus, of which the theme is “Assembly life”. Three speakers Zheng Lingling, Sun Mengyi and Miaozong were invited to make presentations Deciphering the Code of Life，The eighth day of creation, Computer Network Synthetic Biology to introduce the synthetic biology about its origin, development, progress and application prospect.

There were more than thirty students and teachers participating in the salon. They showed great interest in this emerging field that contain network and experiments. And also, they discussed and communicated about their questions and ideas with others in a relaxing and exciting atmosphere. This activity advertised the creation spirit and development prospect of synthetic biology and IGEM. It is no doubt a successful academic party.
