Media




The media is a great way to appeal to many people who have nothing to do with the scientific community. Internet, TV, radio and newspapers are great ways to present the research in an interesting and plain way. We hope that our contributions gave many people an understanding of synthetic biology and the manifold possibilities of this science.




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. Furthermore we contacted local radio stations. This was a great chance for us to talk about our project in regard to biological and environmental aspects. We were part of the OWL Lokalzeit, a regional news show, which is broadcasted in North Rhine Westfalia via the TV station Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR). Furthermore Radio Bielefeld performed a short interview and video clip with us. In addition, we had two interviews at Radio Hertz 87.9 (Bielefeld University campus radio) to inform students at our 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 the successful European Jamboree and publishing our [http://ekvv.uni-bielefeld.de/blog/uninews/entry/bielefeld_igem_team_wins_european second press release] we had again a TV contribution with the WDR TV station. As part of the OWL Lokalzeit, we reported about our success in Lyon and the final work before travelling to the World Championship. Furthermore we organized a press conference at Center for Biotechnology at Bielefeld University, where media representatives from television and radio had the opportunity to ask questions about our project and our plans for the finale in Boston.

  • After we had chosen the Microbial Fuel Cell to be our iGEM project 2013, we published our [http://ekvv.uni-bielefeld.de/blog/uninews/entry/using_bacteria_batteries_to_make 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 worldwide 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.
