We are proud to say that we achieved excellence in synthetic biology and were awarded a gold medal!
We won Best Integrated Human Practices! And for good reasons 😉 - check out our Human Practices page.
We are honored to be nominated for this prize! We believe that PFAS is a big problem now and an even greater problem in the future. Look around on our wiki to find out how we addressed this issue - you can start with our project description.
Our efforts in creating a sustainable solution for PFAS degradation were acknowledged by the judges. We made sure to include multiple perspectives in our project by looking at research and discussing with politicians and citizens, to ensure that our solution would be a sustainable replacement for incineration. You can read more on our sustainability page.
We really put some thought into our presentations so we are very happy that our hard work paid off! You can see our judging session below until 22 minutes and our pitch is in the first five minutes.
Here is our village presentation.
