Safety Exposures

First, we started with a little introduction about what the iGEM and about what is synthetic biology. Then, we explained what our project is about and how is it divided it in branches like human practices, lab work, math model, software and safety. After this, we explained in general terms what covers safety area in environmental security, ethics and the importance of follow the security rules in laboratory. Finally, and after sowing the consequences that a laboratory accident implies, we expose the basic rules that need to be followed in any laboratory in order to prevent accidents and seize the practice time. We finished with a fast activity on which two students came to the front of the class and they competed to see the one who placed the safety laboratory equipment in the fastest time possible.

We chose to give the exposition to second semester students to publicize our project among the possible next generation of iGEM CIDEB. The total time that the exposures took was 15 minutes and we visit 17 classrooms. Thanks this activity the students develop a conscience about the risk of being working in the laboratory and the importance of follow the laboratory safety rules. Also, after the exposures some student got interested in the project so it was publicity for the team and the project.This is the presentation that was used:
