In addition to weekly reporting and communication with the FAFU-China team, we also pay attention to long-term and in-depth communication and cooperation with the FAFU team and other outstanding iGEM teams.
Cooperate with the 2022 FAFU team
1.Cooperate with the 2022 FAFU team——Actively liaise with
various social groups
In 2022, to carry out our activities more effectively,
we cooperated with 2022 FAFU team and
assisted its members to prepare a series of science education activities.
(1)This time, we shared the precious opportunity to meet
2022 XMU-China and went to Xiamen
University together.

Here is the abstract of our conference:
IGEM is about how we affect the world and how the world affects us.
HP activities should
also be combined with experiments. In terms of experimental design, you can communicate and
discuss with senior professors to determine the scheme.
Mr. Zhang from 2022 FAFU summarized the following points from the lessons
of past
competitions:
1. The information of team members, such as age, should be filled in
correctly, or they may
be transferred from the undergraduate group to the graduate group.
2. The standard of the award to refer to, it is better not just from your
point of view,
think he meets, the organizing committee may think that does not meet, will cause the
decline of the award, it is better to meet one or two standards.
3. Finish the implement part as soon and correctly as possible and do not
delay to the last
submission time. Otherwise, the web page will become very slow.
(2)In May, 2022, FAFU-China held a scientific promotion
activity with 2022FAFU team. This
time, we contributed to connect with a media company in Taijiang District so that we can
guide children and their parents there to join our search of Longan and GABA knowledge
altogether.

Although it was raining all the day, we kept on leading
almost everyone who participated the
activity to finish the game about our scientific popularization. With our effort to consult
the specific activities to conduct on that day, 2022FAFU got the chance to take part with us
and accomplish their human practice by virtue of the resources we applied. As soon as the
game for the children and their parents ended, members from two teams communicated with each
other, telling the experience and feelings right after the practice. Not only did we learn
from another, but exchange the ideas about how to improve the next promotion as well. We all
hope to help their team and cooperate with them again in the further.

popularization together
(3)Kindergarten Publicity Activities
During the epidemic period, the school strictly screened
the admission personnel, so we
invited our PI teacher Cao Shijiang to lead us and the FAFU team to the kindergarten to
communicate with the school. Through many communications with kindergarten teachers, we
finally decided to hold a science popularization activity with the theme of "New Crown
Epidemic". Our project pays more attention to the treatment of people's insomnia and mental
health, so our team determined the theme as "Pay attention to the psychological state of
children during the epidemic".

activity.

the kids together
Our two iGEM teams share the same goal, which is to help
people recover from the virus and
adjust to the normal pace of life during the pandemic. We designed computer interactive
games, stickers and other small gifts and dances for children in science popularization
activities. All activities are planned on the premise of ensuring the safety of children.
Fig. 1.8 The picture shows that we are playing games with
children
Our two teams chose different classes to carry out
activities. It is gratifying that the
children were very excited about our arrival. We successfully completed our task and had a
happy and energetic day!

Joint popular science activities of universities
2.Participated in the joint popular science activities of
universities as a keynote speaker
(1) With BUCT-China
The first activity was held online on August 14th, 2022
when we joined a wonderful
scientific promotion with eight universities jointly supporting.
They are: BNUZH-China,
JLU-China, BIT, BUCT, NJU-China, iBowu, NJMU-China, NPU-CHINA, BIT-China,
Sustech_Shenzhen_HCL.

Fig. 2.2 The pictures were presented for us as the keynote
speaker
The team presented the project in the online meeting
with BUCT-China. This time, with the
assistance of BUCT-China, Nan Li in our team presented our achievement of human practice and
showed the outline of our project. Initially, we introduced the current situation of
sleeplessness among people and the market gap yielding for a chance to help those with metal
problems. After that, our member briefly talked about the promotions we have done and the
results our experiment obtained. In the end, we expressed our expectations for the object
with Longan and GABA.
We reached a consensus and emphasized the significance
of gene editing. Hope that more ideal
models will be built and more techniques could bu explored with our common goal.
(2) With ShanghaiTech
Several days after the cooperation with BUCT-China, take
the chance of summer vacation, we
held another online discussion with ShanghaiTech.
This time, Qiqi Zhao in FAFU-China host the discussion
and told all present students how the
experiment our team designed and consequences we had already achieved.
Fig. 2.3 The team presented the project on the official account with
ShanghaiTech
After a heated discussion, the members of ShanghaiTech
iGEM team and us got to know each
other's practice patterns. Through the meeting, at the suggestion of the ShanghaiTech team,
we learned that we could read as much literature as possible to better understand the
current prospects of gene editing technology and the current status of Longan industry. We
were also inspired to expand the scope of practical communication and start market research.
The two teams pointed out the strengths as well as weaknesses we have and hoped for more
communication and cooperation in the future.
We organized a total of two popular science university
exchange activities in the summer
vacation, with different topics and iGEM teams participating. By helping teams from other
universities to host conferences and publish articles on relevant public accounts for
publicity, we not only attracted many people's attention to synthetic biology, but also
accumulated experience in organizing activities for our own teams.
Through the vivid description, we popularize the
chemical GABA to the public, and also told
you our project which focused on what impact Longan can have on people's life and its
effects. We also use this opportunity to further show the beauty of synthetic biology and
the state of the art of gene editing.
