Team:RHIT/Human Practices

Overview

To link our project to the very real-world problems surrounding heavy metals, we have conducted a number of human practice works, which mainly consist of public engagement, collaborations with other iGEM teams, and professional opinions. For public engagement, we worked with some local foundations to introduce synthetic biology and iGEM. With regard to collaborations, we participated in the US AFR Carroll High School iGEM team meetup in Ohio where we discussed our project with other teams and listened to their views on iGEM. As professional opinions are extremely valuable, we also interviewed professors and other expert researchers in vocations including EPA officers.
