Communication & Education
To popularize our project, we conduct several social activities, including an online survey, media advertising, booklet distribution, lecture.
Online Survey
We designed our survey to investigate the community's willingness about alcohol. We sent it online, and over 500 people in our community responded to our survey. From the research, we figured out that industrial alcohol consumed a lot. We suggested that we imply this kind of yeast on industrial drinking more than others and decrease the cost of yeast through the investment. People from the survey hope we can reduce the cost performance of alcohol after we produce the yeast. Based on the survey, we gained a better understanding of our project and our goal.
Media advertising
We send our promotional article to WeChat, the largest social media in China. Apart from Wechat, some of our teammates sent the article to Instagram and Snapchat. We intend to spread the knowledge of synthetic biology and life science to our community.
Booklets Distribution
Booklets and flyers distribution is one of our media to advertise our project. Every day from 7:00 to 9:00 and 5:00 to 6:00, we send our booklets to workers and students in our local community. While spreading the flyers, we inform the workers about synthetic biology.
Lecture
In addition to popularizing our project, we reached out to the local company and gave a speech about synthetic biology. For the speech, we introduced the faculties about our research project of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The faculty reflected their surprise toward our project and gave comments to us. The knowledge we gained in the lecture will further refine our research.
