In order to make the public understand the mysteries of synthetic biology and the dangers of metabolic syndrome, we have employed various methods to conduct popular science education. For example, we have organized lectures on synthetic biology, created cultural and creative works related to synthetic biology, participated in community activities during the Dragon Boat Festival, designed comic handbooks on the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome, produced music songs related to metabolic diseases, and created original workout videos. We have also utilized platforms such as official accounts and Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok) to promote and educate the public.

        Professor Han Hua proposed that the foundation of synthetic biology lies in deciphering biology. Deciphering biology allows us to understand the logic of living organisms. Synthetic biology, on the other hand, involves combining lifeless components through logical relationships to create a living biological circuit capable of performing one or multiple biological functions. Professor Han also pointed out that synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary subject with applications in various fields such as medicine, industry, and agriculture.

        During the World Obesity Day event, we created a beautifully crafted popular science article and published it on the official account of the School of Basic Medicine, generating thousands of views. The article was titled "AFMU-China | World Obesity Day, Say Goodbye to Obesity".
In addition, we conducted a survey and carried out both online surveys and offline interviews. We went deep into the community to communicate with the public about the dangers of obesity and to provide popular science education on what metabolic syndrome is and why we should prevent and treat obesity. We received positive feedback from the public.

        Everyone, regardless of age or educational level, should have the opportunity to understand the current global challenges and the development of new technologies used to solve these challenges. Scientific knowledge should reach more people, and the path of popular science in synthetic biology is arduous. Coinciding with the traditional Chinese festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, in early May, our team created posters and organized activities related to the festival. We went into the community, educated kindergarten children and their parents about the dangers of metabolic syndrome, and organized interactive activities with prizes to encourage more residents to participate in our initiatives. Our goal is to bring popular science on metabolic syndrome into the community.

        Considering the future of synthetic biology and biotechnology, the younger generation is particularly important. Therefore, our team conducted lectures on synthetic biology in universities and actively promoted the popularization of synthetic biology knowledge. During the lectures, we had interactive discussions with the students, and many of them showed a strong interest in synthetic biology. Taking this opportunity, we also promoted the iGEM competition to attract more new talents and attention for the next iGEM event.

        After conducting extensive literature research and receiving guidance from our mentors, we wrote a review article on the diagnosis and prevention of metabolic syndrome, making our educational campaign more scientific and authoritative.

        To make our popular science articles more interesting, our team created vivid and engaging comics that primarily introduce the definition, diagnosis, pathogenesis, clinical features, and prevention principles of metabolic syndrome. Through this approach, we hope to raise awareness of the dangers of metabolic syndrome and educate people on how to prevent and treat it.

        Our team is dedicated to popularizing the knowledge of the hazards and preventive measures of metabolic syndrome to the public. Therefore, we created original workout videos to promote physical fitness. To cater to the diverse needs of different groups, we made two versions of the workout videos, one for a large group and one for a smaller group, demonstrating our inclusivity towards society.

        In response to the national call for nationwide exercise and healthy weight loss, we incorporated knowledge about metabolic syndrome and obesity into a lively and rhythmic song. The catchy music makes it easier for the listeners to embrace the idea of exercising for weight loss and leading a healthy lifestyle.

        We participated in a science popularization competition hosted by the highly influential Chinese Academy of Sciences. Through greater exposure on a larger scale, our educational goals have had a more profound impact.
