Our cooperation with mass media !

Facebook and popular meme websites – July and August

As the Science Picnic was devoted rather for children and high school students, we used Facebook to communicate with people predominantly aged 18-24 years (65% of our fans). There were a few types of posts on a fan page covering three areas:

a) information and synthetic biology news (to let people discover how useful, surprising and safe is synthetic biology )
b) The team progress and media coverage (to present our work and to generate users activity)
c) viral fun content (to attract the attention of users)

Mass Media Coverage July, August and Semptember

To deliver our message to a wider audience of people in Poland and not only those somehow connected  with science, three months ago we began a  media mass attack.

To have the biggest possible impact we cooperated with for e.g. PAP (Polish Press Agency) , Polish Radio (channel 1 and 4) and TVP1 (Polish Televison channel 1). (All the links to media mentions about The Warsaw iGEM Team you can find below). On channel 1 and 4 we had an interview where we talked about the iGEM competition and synthetic biology, food safety and the FluoSafe project. TVP1 produced a program, about bioengineering in which we described our acrylamide sensor and our instructor Takao Ishikawa talked about BioBricks and genetic engineering.

Information about our acrylamide sensor and food safety was posted on numerous web portals specializing in health, dietetics, science, education, sports and agriculture.

We have also published two articles describing our project in Edukacja Biologiczna i Środowiskowa which is targeted to teachers and students of high schools.
Thanks to the wide range of chosen medias we managed to reach groups living in different parts of our country and with a different knowledge of science.
