On the afternoon of June 30, 2023, the HBUT-China team and HUBU-SKY-China had an online exchange meeting. At the meeting, the teams of both sides first introduced the team and the members themselves, and then shared their team’s participation experience. Throughout the meeting, the communication between the two teams was smooth and pleasant. The members of the HBUT-China team have not only preliminarily determined the cooperation with the HUBU-SKY-China team, they also built up a deep relationship, which laid a good foundation for the next cooperation. The cooperation between the two teams will continue to work together to expand the impact of synthetic biology!
On July 4, 2023, Kong Xiang, Yu Siqin, and Han Yi, three members of the HBU-China team, went to Hubei University to further communicate with Liu Chuan, Jiang Zhihao, and Jiang Wenhao of HUBU-SKY-China team about wiki and HP, and visited the laboratory of Hubei University. The two sides shared their experience in the competition, put forward reasonable suggestions and encouraged each other, and then launched an in-depth discussion on video cooperation and love and public welfare.
At the invitation of Hubei University, the HBUT-China team participated in the 2023 Hubei Open Conference on Synthetic Biology on July 5. In the morning of July 5, the 2023 Hubei Open Conference on Synthetic Biology officially opened. At the meeting, each participating team demonstrated their own project. In the afternoon, each team displayed the project contents in an all-round way on the exhibition booth, and communicated with other teams in depth. Finally, the participants were invited to visit the cryo electron microscope platform of Hubei University, and the participating teams took photos as a memento.
From July 8 to 10, 2023, the 10th Conference of China iGEMer Community (CCiC) in China was held in Hainan University. Teams from all over the country gathered, and the HBUT-China team reported on the participating projects and conducted cooperation and exchanges with several teams.
On the morning of July 9th, the HBUT-China team presented its project background, experimental technology and human social practice with students from all over the world at the exchange meeting, which was applauded by students and teachers. During the exchange session, students from the Dalian University of Technology team (DUT-China) gave us valuable opinions, provided new reference ideas, and shared the technical parts used in the experiment.
At this conference, the HBUT-China team, adhering to the mentality of peaceful exchange and common progress, discussed with many other teams. 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.
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.
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.
