On the path of human practice, we adhere to the core concept of "two-way shaping"—not merely as a one-way dissemination of knowledge, but as a continuous and deep interaction between science and society. We are committed to building a two-way bridge between synthetic biology and the public: on one hand, promoting knowledge equity and social care through comprehensive science outreach, and on the other, actively incorporating valuable feedback from diverse groups into the research process, forming a virtuous cycle of "Inspire–Absorb–Optimize." This mechanism allows societal needs to continually calibrate our research direction, while enabling scientific innovation to address real-world challenges. Thus, our projects are not only grounded in cutting-edge science but also rooted in social needs, advancing together toward a more sustainable future.

Based on the team's extensive work in human practices and education, we have carried out multi-level and diverse educational outreach activities centered on the cutting-edge field of synthetic biology, reaching diverse groups from young children to the elderly, and from campus communities to the wider public.

We paid special attention to vulnerable groups by tailoring science outreach for hearing-impaired children, conveying values of equality and care. We visited kindergartens to spark children's curiosity in life sciences through fun interactions, and went into nursing homes to share modern agricultural knowledge and healthy lifestyle concepts with the elderly. In collaboration with Wuhan No.2 High School, we introduced synthetic biology to secondary students, enhancing their scientific literacy. We established a weekly campus radio program to provide university students with a platform for systematic learning. Furthermore, cooperation and exchanges with biotechnology companies helped bridge scientific research and industrial application. Additionally, on-campus promotion activities further expanded our outreach impact.

These initiatives have not only raised public awareness and understanding of synthetic biology but have also promoted educational equity and innovation in science communication, while simultaneously providing valuable feedback that drives our project forward. We remain committed to advancing progress through education and fulfilling our responsibilities through action. While disseminating knowledge, we continuously incorporate societal input into our research, thereby fostering a virtuous cycle of educational interaction.

In educational outreach, we focus on vulnerable groups,conducting science popularization for hearing-impaired children and the elderly, and expanding coverage through diverse media. Our wiki design also fully takes into account the needs of visually impaired people, promoting more inclusive and accessible educational outreach.

We design science popularization activities for different groups and optimize knowledge platforms: We conduct synthetic biology workshops for hearing-impaired children at hearing rehabilitation centers,using gamified interaction to break communication barriers and animations to transform the NRPS production line into fairy tales, conveying biological concepts visually to help them understand knowledge and express themselves through art. For the elderly, we hold science popularization events themed “Green Agriculture and Healthy Living,” introducing biopesticides and their advantages over traditional pesticides, and offering nutrition classes for chronic diseases as well as teaching healthy exercise methods.

To bridge the digital divide,we collaborate with the campus radio station of Hubei University of Technology for science popularization broadcasts, with programs also uploaded to Ximalaya. Radio requires no data, fees, or smartphones, making it suitable for low-income individuals, rural residents, and the elderly, and the audio format is also beneficial for visually impaired people. In addition, when building the Wiki, we take into account the needs of various users. We enhance readability with clear titles, concise paragraphs, and single-column layout, and set up a one-click font zoom function to facilitate those with poor eyesight.

Our team is advancing projects centered on sustainable development, based on the research of Microbiome Company, to ensure the progress of experiments. Through research, we have identified the inevitable trend of replacing chemical pesticides with biological pesticides, which has been confirmed by interviews with experts and farmers. The project can reduce chemical pesticide pollution and residues, contributing to SDG2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG3 (Good Health and Well-being). In response to the public's insufficient understanding of biological pesticides, we are conducting publicity campaigns targeting all age groups and special groups such as hearing-impaired children, using social media and diverse forms to support SDG4 (Quality Education) and SDG10 (Reduced Inequalities). After confirming the industrial prospects through communication with experts, we are promoting the batch production of antibacterial lipopeptides, empowering SDG8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and through participation in competitions and exchanges, we are practicing SDG17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
