Project Reflection
Our project raises a lot of ethics and technical questions : Can we free bacteria in the environment, how can we prevent this potential propagation, how people react when we present our project ...
So, we have decided to devided our project reflexion in three parts :
1. Because synthetic biology touches non scientists and common people too, we have decided to make a huge poll. In this poll we have tried to ask specific questions to see if the French are aware of the consequences of the pollution of water and if they agree our project solution: PCBbuster Poll.
2. We have visited the sewers of Paris in order to understand the water cycle, the way water is cleaning and recycling.
3. We have met the Evry'team during the summer in order to make a workshop during an afternoon.During this workshop we have presented our respective projects : the scientific part, the human pratice part and the modeling part. After each presentation we have debated, asked questions, proposed solution to improve the team's project. At the end of the day we made a big 4 o'clock tea.
