Press for iGEM Bielefeld

We like to get a feedback to our work and to spread the world with the good opportunities of syntethic biology. Hence we did some cooperation with print, radio and tv media.

Print

We got a leading article in a big local newspaper, with circa 300.000 costumers. Moreover the paper used the opportunity to discuss the postiv and negativ sites of synthetic biology in a commentary.

The "Spiegel" is a nationalwide political megazine. We got an advance notice in the section about research.

Online

The first thing for starting a pr-strategy is press releases. Therefore we have done two press relaeses during the project. The releases explain the iGEM competetion as well as our general project idea. It is important for us to state that the projects are organised by the students themselves, which means fundraising, pr and practical research. You can find the publications below, which followed the press release.

Our press releases were published by the biotechnolgy cluster of the federal state north rhine westphalia as well as by the department of education and research (Bundesminesterium für Bildung und Forschung).

Radio

We got the opportunity to present our project in a big federal state radio. The radiostation wdr5 is focused on culture events and research. They did three radio coverages, in order to present our project idea, the problems concerning the experimental research and the outcome of the project. Moreover they communicated to the public how research is done and what methods are used. The radio station can be received by approximately 18 billion listernes.

TV

Moreover we get two docomentary spots. The first one was done by a SWR3 Team for the scientific research broadcast called "nano". They did a 5 minute spot about the everyday life in the lab, our goals with the project, the general project idea and the iGEM competitio. The date for the broadcast will be apporax. around 5th or 12th of november.

Furthermore we participated in a documentary concerning synthetic biology and selfemade "DNA-cooking". The broadcast has to be announced and will be approx. in autumn 2011. The ARD is the first national television station. The station can be received by everybody holding a tv in germany.

All iGEM Teams were interviewed by the internetbased television of the department of education and research, called biotechnoligie.tv. We participated in the episode 53. The questions concern our main project idea.
