Penn State iGEM 2010

For our Human Practices portion of the iGEM project, we have decided to do a survey that will be distributed amongst the participating teams. For each team wanting to take part in our H.P. project, we ask them to disperse 100 surveys throughout their university, state, and/or country. By doing so we, PSU iGEM, will be able to gather a broad array of information that will enable us to portray the general beliefs people have for genetic engineering, genetically modified organisms, and biotechnology.

Soon, a link will appear that will take you to the survey.

This year Penn State iGEM created a survey about Genetically Modified Organisms(GMOs) in Agriculture. The survey included questions about where and when GMOs should be used, GMOs containing a lysis device, and other questions dealing with the the use of GMOs. For this survey, we decided we wanted to get a random sample of college aged students from around the world. Other teams were asked to participate in sending our survey to a group of random students from their respective schools. Eight schools showed interest in helping us distribute the surveys.

Documentation of the students who worked on the survey can be found on the Penn State/Safety page.
