iGEM2021_BIT-China conducted Science Popularization Activities in Public Accounts
In 2021, our team created our own public accounts, iGEMCreative Tasting Officer, through which we wanted to reach out to the public and promote the team and iGEM through media, while promoting some scientific knowledge for people of different ages and professions in the society. We have published many passages related to the project and iGEM through public accounts, such as what vegetarianism is, knowledge of fresh seasoning, mechanism of taste production, synthetic biology and iGEM, etc. At the same time, we promoted the project through the public accounts of the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Beijing Institute of Technology and Beijing Institute of Technology Qiushi School, so that the science popularization targets more people, and therefore the number of readers of the tweets is relatively high, which reflects the satisfactory results of the science popularization.
We also designed our team's exclusive emoji --- smart yeast! We used the yeast emoji to better promote our engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and also to let everyone know the role of yeast in synthetic biology.
