Media as a tool to reach society

We have been in contact with media with the purpose of spreading information about iGEM, Synthetic Biology and our project and team. We have been in contact with radio, newspapers and the university press. We got an interview at our local radio station (P4) at their morning program in the beginning of August. We spoke about the competition and our project idea and the program can be found by this link (the program is in Swedish): http://t.sr.se/1Pa2mVl the interview can be found from 2:39:30.

We have also been published in two different papers, Kemivärlden: Biotech which is a chemistry- and biotechnology paper and also Ingenjören which is a paper for engineers. We have also got an article published at our university’s webpage for areas of advance. All of the articles gives a bit of information about the iGEM competition and about our project and the work we have been doing this year. The articles are published online at each paper’s respective website where everyone can see and read them. They are all in Swedish but can be found using the following links:

We are very happy that we got the opportunity to reach out in all of these different ways and we hope the result is that more people obtain knowledge about iGEM and the area of research. By spreading the information to mainly people in the scientific and engineering field we hope to be able to establish more collaborations between iGEM teams and industries. We also wish to make people interested in our project and for them to see the potential in the final product and what the parts can be used for.

We have also been published in the paper Ingenjören witch is a paper for engineers all around Sweden and the article is posted on their webpage for everyone to see it. In the article we talk about the iGEM competition and what kind of project we are working on this year. The article is in Swedish and can be found here: http://www.ingenjoren.se/2015/08/svenska-teknologer-tavlar-i-genteknik/

The scientific paper Kemivärlden: Bioteck who focuses on chemistry and biotechnology has also been writing an article about us, our project and the iGEM competition. The article can be found here: får lank runt 15/9 Last but not least we have got an article published at our university’s webpage for areas of advance, life science engineering: http://www.chalmers.se/sv/styrkeomraden/livsvetenskaper/nyheter/Sidor/Chalmersstudenter-deltar-i-Genetically-Engineered-Machine.aspx
