The Nanjing University team and the University team had in-depth exchanges, and both sides discussed the similarities of CRISPR technology used in the experiment and the expected experimental effects. Looking forward to more contact and cooperation in the future; The Ocean University of China (OUC-China) team proposed to carry out human practice activities in the form of children’s picture books, and the HBU-China team joined the cooperation to jointly draw picture books for autistic children, so as to popularize synthetic biology and realize more inclusive human practice.

HBUT-China team members actively asked questions after the guest lectures, actively communicated and summarized experiences in other team presentations. After the conference, HBUT-China team members have said that they have benefited a lot, and HBUT-China is looking forward to more exchanges with more teams.

Charity sale

HBUT-China and five teams from Hubei University together to discuss the specific charity sale plan. HBUT-China made the team IP and team logo into cultural creativity for sale, which won the love and support of the majority of students, and after nearly ten days of sales, the team donated the profit amount during the sale period to the Hope Project Micro Wish Project of the Wuhan Youth Development Foundation Secretariat, which aims to widely mobilize the caring forces of all walks of life to support the "Hope Project" public welfare undertakings, and consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation, help rural revitalization, It will continue to play an active role in serving the healthy growth of adolescents from economically disadvantaged families. A book that I have thought about for a long time, a pencil case that I have read many times. Be careful, hopeful. We hope to do our part to help more people and give more children the right to education. Give full play to our little energy and transmit the positive energy of love relay. Children are the future of the world, education is indispensable for children’s growth, and we use our actions to help more children enjoy education.

With ZJUT-China

Both our team and ZJUT-China have developed software tools to improve the efficiency of wiki development. Having established a good cooperative relationship with them, our Dry Lab members made some suggestions on their software WikiBreeze. We experienced each other’s team’s software and worked together to improve the tools, which significantly contributed to the iGEM community.
