Integrated Human Practices

On the page of Integrated Human Practices , relying on the inspiration of 52Hz whale, we designed the "an overview of 52Hz whale", "the call of the deep sea", "the birth of a giant whale", "communication between the giant whale and the world" and "the growth path of the giant whale" to present the whole comprehensive human practice process. First, after considering the numerous project analysis frameworks, we adopted the AREA framework , namely expectation, reflection and action, for the design of the entire project. You can learn how we identify and communicate with stakeholders, from which we listen to their needs, seek solutions, and feedback the results to them to achieve continuous optimization of the project in constant feedback. Then, our team created a unique model of the whale .After brainstorming, thinking and complementing each other, we created a complete map of stakeholders and a closed mind chain . Then, we used the power-benefit-interest matrix to analyze the rights and interests of stakeholders, as well as the interests of stakeholders in us. Finally, the interactive timeline shows us in each stage of the process, shows that we in the process of project, through communication with different stakeholders, harvest information and advice, and use the information and suggestions to improve our plan, so that our project can reflect our tolerance, love, and put yourself in the perspective of children with autism to think and solve problems for them, and resonate with their hearts at in the sea.

Partnership

Every member of the NJMU-China is eager to help others and pass on good deeds with kindness and love, and we also actively seek cooperation with other teams. To this end, we have established deep partnerships with LZU-China and NAU-China , focusing on the bright application prospects and potential harm of synthetic biology in the biomedical field. Although the research direction of our project is different, this does not prevent us from cooperating and communicating, especially in the HP part. We agreed in many aspects of the problem. It is encouraging that we learn from each other in the exchange of ideas, and look forward for more cooperation in the future. In addition, we focus on the communication of regional iGEM teams: share our team projects at Nanjing iGEM Association (NIA) , and actively communicate with other teams; We also participated in iG20 synthetic biology science popularization relay activities , and joined multi-school iGEM teams to promote synthetic biology by shooting short videos, so that we can get more social attention and have more influence on the world.

4、Entrepreneurship

Commercialization is an important part of our project, which determines the future development trend of the product, that is, whether it is licensed and widely promoted because of the characteristics of social and economic benefits, low risk and high return.

We considered entrepreneurship from the beginning of the project and run it throughout the project. We have written a business plan to better present our commercialization process. In this business plan, we mentioned our partners and target customers, the process of product production access and potential users, while identifying and assessing potential risks and uncertainties. It is reasonably expected that our products have a significant advantage over similar products in the market. More information on our Entrepreneurship page.

Safety

Safety is crucial for ensuring the successful implementation of the entire project. We have prioritized the safety of experiments, biosafety, human practices, ethics, morals, laws, and regulations throughout the project cycle. In the field of human practices, we have consistently emphasized the importance of group members and participants being mindful of their safety, including their personal well-being, social safety, privacy, and other factors that may be disregarded when organizing each activity. The project was conducted in a secure and regulated environment, both in the laboratory and outdoors.

Furthermore, we established a secure setting and implemented safety measures to address unforeseen circumstances, while also mandating that all team members possess the capability to manage potential hazards, particularly in the laboratory. Fortunately, we successfully executed these strategies throughout the project duration. To fully understand how we secure all aspects of the project, see more on our >Safety page.

Inclusivity

The challenges of communication and communication often exist in a world of cultural and linguistic diversity. However, our mission is to break down these barriers and promote broader understanding and engagement. Our project aims to promote synthetic biology while focusing on the needs of children with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, requiring multiple inclusive measures.

In terms of language inclusivity , we care about the needs of the visually impaired, hearing impaired, and dyslexics. We also focus on language selection and using bilingual science to promote communication between different peoples.

In terms of form inclusivity , we encourage creativity and diversity. We held an autism-themed poster design contest and a photography contest to encourage people to express their understanding and care for autistic children through art. At the same time, we vividly popularize synthetic biology through scenarios and clay model making to reveal the problems and potentials involved.

Most importantly, we are committed to group inclusivity , popularizing synthetic biology and autism. From preschoolers to college students, we regularly carry out various activities to spread knowledge and care. We also advocate cross-cultural exchanges, inviting international students to participate and informing more people about the potential and ethical issues of synthetic biology.

Sustainable Development

Sustainable development is the ability to meet current needs without compromising the ability to meet the needs of future generations. It involves three aspects: economic, social and environmental sustainability. Sustainable development aims to address many of the challenges globally, including poverty, health, education, employment and inequality. In sustainable development programs for autistic children, we include Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 12 ,aiming to end poverty in all its forms everywhere; ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages; ensure inclusive and enquitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all; promote sustained,inclusive and sustainable economic growth,full and productive employment and decent work for all; reduce inequality within and among countries; ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.

Reflection and Conclusion

Developing a product designed to eliminate autoantibodies in the brains of people with autism is long and complex. The project aims to continuously optimize and improve through communication and collaboration with stakeholders.

In integrated human practices , we adopted the AREA framework to design the entire project through three sections: anticipation, reflection and action, with continuous communication and feedback with stakeholders. We also created a giant whale model to analyze holder rights, interests and attitudes through a stakeholder map and closed mind chain. In addition, the team presented the course of the project in each stage through an interactive timeline to collect information and suggestions and continuously refine the plan.

In terms of partnerships , the project team established partnerships with LZU-China and NAU-China and actively participated in regional iGEM team communication activities. In terms of entrepreneurship , the team integrated entrepreneurship into the project throughout, and wrote a business plan to demonstrate the commercialization process and potential users of the product.

In terms of safety , the team always prioritizes the safety of experiments, biosafety, human practices, ethics, morals, laws, and regulations throughout the project cycle, and ensures the smooth progress of the project by reminding and ensuring the safety of members and participants.

In terms of inclusivity , we consider the differences between different languages and groups, and reflect our tolerance of the world through various formal activities. In terms of sustainable development , we consider several major challenges that are common to all of humanity, and make our contribution to solving these global problems by making a difference through our actions.

We also apply these practical discovery-analysis-problem-solving approaches to wet lab and model to help us advance and complete the project. We learned how to deal with problems correctly, how to put ourselves in others' shoes, how to spread our values and make our voices heard by more people around the world.
