Communicate with busineses
This year, we communicated with the chairman and technical staff of DELAND WATER TECHNOLOGY CO. DELAND WATER TECHNOLOGY CO. has made a lot of good suggestions for our project, as well as many key issues and solutions, which will be very helpful for the development of our project and the bioremediation of polyethylene white pollution in the future.
Interaction with participating teams
（1）CCiC
In our efforts to engage with various iGEM competition-related organizations in China, we reached out to The the 11th Conference of China iGEMer Community(CCiC), a prominent platform for fostering collaboration and communication among iGEM teams in the region. The CCiC plays a critical role in bringing together teams from across China to share ideas, exchange progress, and develop a sense of community among iGEM participants.
In July, we had the opportunity to participate in the CCiC. This event provided a valuable platform for interacting with numerous other iGEM teams, enabling us to witness the diversity of approaches and innovations being pursued. Throughout the exchange, we engaged in detailed discussions with fellow participants, learning about each team's unique challenges and breakthroughs. These interactions were not only informative but also inspiring, as we gained new perspectives on synthetic biology research and project development.
One of the key outcomes of this exchange was the ability to track and understand the progress of various projects. Each team presented their research in a comprehensive manner, which allowed us to see how different methodologies were being applied to solve real-world problems. This sharing of knowledge and experience helped foster a collaborative atmosphere, where we could offer feedback and receive insights that were directly relevant to our own project.
Overall, our participation in the CCiC exchange significantly strengthened our connections with other teams, promoted meaningful communication, and facilitated the exchange of ideas, which are essential elements of success in the iGEM competition. This experience highlighted the importance of teamwork and collaboration in scientific research, reinforcing the value of community-building within the iGEM framework.

The photos shared highlight our participation in the 11th Conference of China iGEMer Community (CCiC). This event provided an excellent opportunity to interact with other teams, exchange ideas, and showcase your project. By engaging with fellow iGEM teams from across world, our team not only presented our research but also learned from others, enhancing collaboration and communication. The conference fostered a deeper understanding of synthetic biology and team-based problem-solving, strengthening connections within the iGEM community. Through these interactions, our team gained valuable feedback and insights that will contribute to the development of our project.
We held a roundtable meeting with SDU-CHINA, HBUT-Wuhan, Jiangnan-China, Tianjing, BNU-China, and HUST-China, and the teams had a heated discussion about degradable plastics.
（2）the Northwestern China iGEM Meetup
In August, we remotely participated in the Northwestern China iGEM Meetup, a smaller event with only seven teams. The limited number of participants allowed for deeper discussions, enabling us to share not just our project progress but also challenges and confusions. This closer interaction led to valuable exchanges of feedback and solutions. Beyond improving our projects together, we established meaningful cooperative relationships that will continue to support our future efforts.
Videos
We have created a two-minute video that describes the background, general methodology and significance of our experiment. By watching it, you will get a first glimpse of our project and inspire curiosity and further exploration.

Public Participation
In order to promote synthetic biology and communicate with public more effectively, we have tried various ways. To find out their views on synthetic biology , we distributed two questionnaires to the public, asking them if they wanted to learn about synthetic biology and if they would like to attend our online/offline lectures.
In conducting the questionnaire survey, we divided the public into practitioners in the biological industry and people in the non-biological industry, so that we could better understand the public's views on synthetic biology.
A survey of people's views on synthetic biology in the biological industry.
A survey of the views of people in the non-biological industry on synthetic biology
A survey of the views of people in the non-biological industry on synthetic biology We also created public accounts like ins,twitter and wechat to publish articles about knowledge of synthetic biology.
This is one of the articles we published on WeChat. It's a literature science article, scan the QR code next to it to see the specifics. We publish articles on our public number every week, sometimes it is literature translation and cutting-edge science, sometimes it is our project science or lecture news, welcome to follow us.
