SynBio Day
At the 25th of August, there was a Germany-wide SynBio day. In collaboration with the TU Munich, we organized and participated in the SynBio Day activities for the city of Munich.
People, that were interested, could fill out a an easy quiz to check how much they know about Synthetic Biology. The quiz was a good opportunity to explain basic stuff about gentechnologie. Especially in Germany, people are very sceptic against everything that deals with GMOs. However, almost all people that took the time to listen to us what Synthetic Biologist aim to, were excited about the possibilites and didn't talk about any fears.
We think that was a very good way to get to talk with people that normally wouldn't get in touch with Synthetic Biology.
