Radio and TV

• After publishing our [http://ekvv.uni-bielefeld.de/blog/uninews/entry/using_bacteria_batteries_to_make first press release], radio and TV stations contacted us to have interviews or a short TV report with us. This was a great chance for us to talk about our project and the problem of finding alternative energy sources. We were part of the OWL Local Time in WDR, which is a German TV station. Furthermore Radio Bielefeld performed a short interview and video clip with us. Besides we had two interviews at Radio Hertz 87.9 (Bielefeld University campus radio) to inform students at university about synthetic biology, the iGEM competition and our project. Last but not least we had a contribution in the US internet news show Daily Orbit.

• After chosen the Microbial Fuel Cell to be our iGEM project 2013, we published our first press release on the 17th of July in German as well as in English. In the following weeks and months a lot of online magazines and newspapers reported about our project. We are very proud to have raised interest not only in Germany but also in several other countries all over the world. Here is a small selection of articles published online about our project.
