We are a group of passionate students who want to use synthetic biology to solve pressing societal issues. Our team consists of students from seven different academic fields, ranging from philosophy to nanoscience, and with six different nationalities. The team is internally divided in different subgroups that specialize in different aspects of the project, such as dry and wet lab, human practices, funding and entrepreneurship, and outreach. This allows us to go further on each topic, as it allows each team member to devote most of their time to a specific team, while at the same time managing to participate in other subgroups. This allows in-depth work on a multitude of areas, while simultaneously keeping everyone in the loop. Furthermore, we are all part of the lab team. We find such an approach to be necessary in order to avoid that just a few members hold all the expertise of the project backbone.

The most important aspect of our team navigation is our flat hierarchical structure. We all have an equal vote, and all our decisions have been made collectively throughout our project.

<div class="flex-txt">In light of the movement against racism, we are trying to design our patch such that it is suitable for all skin colour and types. The recent mobilization for equal rights and anti-racism has forced all of us to un-learn years of subconscious perception of what “skin colour” looks like since our primary school days. The CIDosis team, while designing the colour of the patch, decided that we would like to make a palette with different skin colours so that it camouflages with the skin and does not serve as a constant reminder to the patients of their disease.
 
However, in the survey we sent out to patients asking them their preferred patch colour and design, we were surprised to see that, out of 56 respondents, 50% wanted the patch to be transparent while only 16% wanted it to match their skin tone.

<h3>Colorblind</h3>
 
<div class="flex-container">
 
<div class="flex-txt">
 
Since the patch might change colour to shades of red or green, our patch is not colour-blind friendly. We can either decide which colour is more friendly for all people or depend on the app to capture the right colour and monitor.
 
  
One of the reflections from the Danish Teams Meet-Up was the need to have a colour change that is colour blind-friendly. Using colours such as red or green might be confusing or misleading for this group, and therefore, would make the patch redundant. </div>

We had sent the survey out to people of all age groups, all genders and from different countries, so the target groups are not limited by borders. The CIDosis team consists of members from different nationalities – Denmark, Norway, Spain, Czech and India. The entire team celebrates diversity through dinners, movies and music. Our conversations often revolve around our culture, practices and commonalities.

★ ALERT!

This page is used by the judges to evaluate your team for the medal criterion or award listed below.

Delete this box in order to be evaluated for this medal criterion and/or award. See more information at Instructions for Pages for awards.

Diversity and Inclusion

We should all recognize the importance of building an open and welcoming scientific community. A more diverse community involved in creating knowledge and technology is more likely to produce a more equitable and representative system. Every individual, regardless of background or experience, should have an equal opportunity to engage with scientific knowledge and technological development. Everyone should be able to share their opinions on the societal implications of research.

For more information about Diversity and Inclusion in iGEM, please visit the Diversity and Inclusion Hub.

Best Inclusivity Prize

The Best Inclusivity prize recognizes exceptional efforts to include more people in synthetic biology by providing new tools, knowledge, and opportunities. Innovative educational/scientific tools have the ability to expand access to science, knowledge and include broader public values.

To compete for the Best Inclusivity prize, please describe your work on this page and also fill out the description on the judging form.
