Survey

We are doing interviews with a variety of people to know what they think about Genetic Engineering research and its impacts in some areas. Of special interest are the opinions about biofuels, a field that is strongly related to our project.

Please help us with this study by answering a two-minute questionnaire available [http://www.lge.ibi.unicamp.br/igem2009/survey.php?lan=EN here].

CAEB

Biennially, Unicamp´s biology students organize a conference called CAEB, which gathers biology students from all over the country. This year about 1,200 undergraduate students participated in the conference, which happened from July 27th to July 31st

We decided to use this opportunity to make a lecture to divulge our IGEM team´s project to the students, and share what we´ve been learning about synthetic biology with them. Most of them had never heard about synthetic biology or iGEM before. It was a really good experience to us, since the students enjoyed our presentation. We hope some of them subscribe an iGEM team to next year´s jamboree in order to make Brazilian´s participation higher in the competition.
