In order to gather up these data we thought that may be useful to prepare a <b>Survey</b> and submit it to other students and friends, trying to “measure” the mistrust that those people can feel about our project and Synthetic Biology in general. If a large variety of people will answer to our question, we could be reasonably sure that our data are indicative of the impact of our project on the public opinion. | In order to gather up these data we thought that may be useful to prepare a <b>Survey</b> and submit it to other students and friends, trying to “measure” the mistrust that those people can feel about our project and Synthetic Biology in general.

Synthetic Biology is developing as one of the most exciting area of scientific discovery, but research has shown that the public is almost completely unaware of its applications.
Considering the technical nature of this area, there are many possible questions about the implications arising from its applications. All these questions are considered by Synthetic Biology which tries to use in a conscious and responsible way its techniques and promotes the objective of its studies transparently.
We decided to realize an Information Booklet to explain what the 2009 Bologna Igem Team project is about, also to people that do not possess special knowledge in the field of Synthetic Biology. We distributed these booklets to students of the University of Bologna in order to collect their opinions and considerations once they have been informed in a few words on the basic concepts of Synthetic Biology.
In order to gather up these data we thought that may be useful to prepare a Survey and submit it to other students and friends, trying to “measure” the mistrust that those people can feel about our project and Synthetic Biology in general. If a large variety of people will answer to our question, we could be reasonably sure that our data are indicative of the impact of our project on the public opinion.
