Awareness
Introduction
In our opinion it is very important, that synthetic Biology gets attention in the public. People should talk about synthetic biology and learn how useful it can be. To reach as many people as possible and explain them about synthetic biology, we published an article about our education project in a regional newspaper. This article is not only about the human practices education project, but also about what synthetic biology is and how it can be used to help people. We hope to decrease prejudices people might have against synthetic biology, and to enhance acceptance. A second article was published in the ETH-student magazine, which reaches thousands of students of various disciplines. That way they we hope to show them what iGEM is about and to motivate them for a possible future participation.
