Publicity

Over the course of the project, we've made several attempts to publicize iGEM within the university and in Australia, to raise general awareness about not only our project but the competition in general. A significant part of this was the creation of the 'Strange Nature' writing competition, which aimed to engage high school students with the concepts of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. To advertise the competition, we emailed hundreds of schools across the country informing them about the writing competition and encouraging them to involve their students.

Aside from the Strange Nature competition, we made several appearances Here is a piece by Robbie in the University of Sydney School of Biology Newsletter (page 7) Here is an article by Vanda Northwood in the University of Sydney Science Alliance Newsletter Here is a brief article on the University of Sydney School of Molecular Bioscience website

Furthermore, Andrew was interviewed by Angela Owens for 702 ABC Radio about the Strange Nature competition and our project.
