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.

• Leading articel in [http://www.westfalen-blatt.de/nachrichten/regional/owl.php?id=40748&artikel=1 Westfalen Blatt 08.06.2010]

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

Online

In order to get more people in touch with the competition, we created the first german Wikipedia article. We appreciate all the slight corrections done by all the unknown wikipedia reviewers.

• We created the first german iGEM wikipedia article

The first thing for starting a pr-strategy are press releases. Therefore we done two press relaeses during the project. You can find the publications below, which followed the press release.

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 docomentarie spots. The first one was done by a SWR 3 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.
