HUMAN RACTICES
Our project explores complex communication in yeast communities, but the communication between science and nonscience communities is commonly overlooked. Throughout the course of our project, we looked at the myriad of ways scientists (within and outside of the iGEM team) communicate their thoughts, projects, and ideas amongst each other. Some of these commonly used outlets include, but are not limited to, lectures, seminars, and published journal articles. However, social media is becoming a more prominent source of scientific outreach. More and more scientists are using websites such as Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter to convey their research.
Yet despite the increasing number of users in these social media sites, there still exists a large disparity between the science community/iGEM and the general public, especially within the field of synthetic biology. Our mission is to use the burgeoning field of social media to bridge this gap between the two communities.
COMMUNICATING WITH THE PUBLIC
We began a video series to attempt to reach the public directly. Our video blog’s first installation shows varying depths of knowledge in synthetic biology terms: GMOs, genetic engineering, and gene cloning.

Ultimately, we wanted to elucidate the tremendous potential of synthetic biology and genetic engineering, and shed light on the many groundbreaking discoveries that have and continue to largely benefit mankind.
COMMUNICATING WITH iGEM TEAMS
iGEM Academy, a YouTube platform created by Trinity iGEM, aims to further bring the synthetic biology community together. UCSF iGEM has teamed up with Trinity iGEM to propel the mission and goals of iGEM Academy by integrating Wiki Flicks and utilizing iGEM Academy as our primary platform for submissions.
