Approximately 300 family members visited the Bio2Q booth, where they experienced the human body puzzle, coloring activities featuring bacteria and nerve cells, and a quiz on gut bacteria. Through lively question-and-answer sessions, they gained a hands-on understanding of the fascination of the life sciences.
A total of 72 families joined the Bio2Q Digital Network, and we will continue to promote the sharing of Bio2Q information.
