HUMAN PRACTICES
|
For the human practices section of our project, we shared our enthusiasm for synthetic biology with our community. There is an annual festival of light and art, called Illuminarium, to celebrate the springtime. We educated students at Illuminarium by presenting a transformation using the E.Chromi kit. We included the pGRN (a green pigment-producing plasmid) and pPRL (a purple pigment-producing plasmid) plasmids to transform the E.Coli and presented two plates with the two transformations. We explained the process of transformations and the goals of synthetic biology. We also informed the community of our project through posters and conversation. Many students had never heard of iGEM or synthetic biology, and their enthusiasm after speaking with us was apparent.
