<p>As shown on the graph above, more than 50% of our Hong  Kong high school students have ever heard of neither synthetic biology nor  iGEM. Amusingly, 35% have heard of synthetic biology before.</p>
+
<p>Similar to high school talk, majority of high school students do not know what is iGEM or synthetic biology.</p>

<p>In relation to our project, we review whether they have heard of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon or Benzo[a]pyrene.</p>
-
<p>Despite of their carcinogenicity, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon and Benzo[a]pyrene are not well known among Hong Kong High School  students.</p>

<p><strong>After the Talk</strong><br />
+
<p>Most of the students have not heard of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon or benzo alpha pyrene, despite of their hazards.</p>
-
  After the talk, we handed out another survey to  measure their understanding and response on certain topics to be investigated.</p>
+
<p>We investigate their response towards our project ideas.</p>
-
<p>If we have successfully built a good understanding and  interest of synthetic biology in our audience, they should be willing to  discover more about synthetic biology in the future.</p>

-
<p>Most of the students are deeply interested and going  to seek further about synthetic biology.</p>
+
 
-
<p>We want to enhance awareness the hazards of Benzo[a]pyrene and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon through our talk. </p>

<p>Majority of the high school students think that our project idea is interesting, useful, or both.</p>
 +
 
 +
<p>Beyond home, religion has been a great issue for synthetic biology. Interestingly,
 +
50% Hong Kong’ population are irreligious or having other minority beliefs. The correlation between religious beliefs to acceptability of synthetic biology among the high school students is illustrated below. We asked them to rate their degree of acceptability towards synthetic biology within the scale 1 to 5 and we calculate the mean. (1=Not acceptable, 3=Acceptable, 5=Very acceptable)
