Australasian Conference of Undergraduate Research
| |
| At this conference we were allocated 15 minutes of speaking time followed by 5 minutes of question time. During the presentation we needed to clearly define the concepts of molecular biology from what is DNA, RNA and proteins to how they all relate to each other. This was then linked into the process of synthetic biology and how synthetic biology differs from genetic engineering, a concept we thought a majority of people might only have a basic concept of. We then introduced our project, methodology and results using basic terminology as not to overwhelm non-science audience members. |
