Awareness
One of the main reasons why people are averse of new technologies is ignorance. We tried to fill in this lack of information by generating awareness. Our goal here is to show that science is interesting and fun, and that synthetic biology is not scarry but promising for future prospects.
Besides the [http://www.delta.tudelft.nl/nl/archief/artikel/green-solution-for-oil-spills/21312 scientific community], we also reached the general public by our appearance in the national news and national newspaper.
By participating in the Nanovideohunt competition we helped to teach young people about science on the small scale by showing them what we did with synthetic biology.
