你还在熬夜吗？

你还在相信“睡一觉就回血”的神话吗？

其实不然

# 损伤免疫力，体质明显下降

# 造成高血压、肿瘤、神经系统功能紊乱

……

诸如此类的问题还有很多很多

Are you still staying up late?

Are you still buying into the "sleep the staying-up-late damage off" myth?

Staying up late can cause so much damage to our body

# Undermine our immunity

# Causes high blood pressure, tumors, nervous system dysfunction

……

想知道熬夜损害背后的原理吗？想知道如何降低熬夜对人体带来的伤害吗?熬夜已经越来越成为大家关注的话题。紧跟当下焦点，2022年11月，我校开展了学术生物活动——【ROS Terminator（熬夜终结者）】，吸引了很多学生的关注和参与。

Do you know the mechanism through which staying up late can damage our health? Do you know how to reduce the damage of staying up late? Staying up late has become an increasingly popular topic. Keeping abreast of the current focus, in November 2022, our school launched an academic biology activity -- "ROS Terminator", which attracted the attention and participation of many students.

熬夜终结者活动

ROS Terminator

活动围绕熬夜对身体的伤害，设计出具备消除活性氧能力的益生菌，有效缓解睡眠缺失对机体造成的健康损害。同学们全方位地体验生命科学、基因工程技术、质粒提取等知识和技能，与此同时提升同学们对生物领域的学习兴趣。

Focused on the harm of staying up late to the body, this activity designed probiotics with the ability to eliminate reactive oxygen species, effectively alleviating the health damage caused by sleep loss. The students experienced life science, genetic engineering technology, plasmid extraction and other knowledge and skills in a comprehensive way, which also helped enhance students' interest in the field of biology.

通过这次活动，同学们对当下的生物基因工程技术和基因编辑等前沿技术有了了解，并展开深入学习。除了前沿的生命科学技术，同学们分为不同小组，在老师的指导下，亲自实践操作了转录与表达、质粒提取、蛋白质纯化等一系列“生物书中的操作”，真正做到了理论与实验操作相结合，也让同学们在实验中加深了对理论知识的认知。

Through this activity, the students had a glimpse of the current bio-genetic engineering, gene editing and other cutting-edge technologies, and carried out in-depth learning. Moreover, divided into different groups and under the guidance of the teacher, the students practiced a series of "operations in the biology book", such as transcription and expression, plasmid extraction, protein purification, etc., which enhanced the students’ understanding of the theories through experiments.

这次活动是课本内外的知识联动，对于同学们以后的学习发展有着深远影响。

√ 专业知识的积累与科研思维的培养

√了解未来学习方向，明确专业兴趣

√ 结识优秀的同龄人，积累初始资源

√ 实验室深度体验，亲自动手操作

This activity expanded and deepened the knowledge on the biology test book and had a profound influence on students' future study and development.

√ Help students accumulate professional knowledge and develop their thinking skills in scientific research

√ Help students understand their future study direction and identify their major interests

√ Help students get to know excellent peers and accumulate initial resources

√ Offer the students deep lab experience and hands-on operation

iGEM国际遗传工程机器挑战

iGEM国际遗传工程机器挑战（International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition，以下简称“iGEM挑战”），由麻省理工学院（MIT）于2003年创办，是融合生命科学、商科、社会科学、计算机、数学等多领域交叉的综合性国际挑战。经过多年发展，iGEM挑战已经成为世界辐射范围广、参与规格高的STEM和商科活动。

2022年宏润博源学校在iGEM挑战赛中喜获铜奖！
