Human Prac*ces 

Two Synthe*c Biology Surveys  1.  Faculty (high school & college/university)  –  Familiarity and knowledge  –  Currently teaching?  –  What support do you need? 

2.  General public  –  Create vs. Construct introduc*ons  –  Opinion of synthe*c biology  –  Should it be taught in schools?
