Outreach
Media
We set out to involve people in our project as well as give people a chance to learn more about biology. This we did through several media and social networks. Our University took a great interest in or project and helped us set up an interview with Teknat samverkan at our Synbioday. Another of the media we met up with was TV4, which is the biggest TV-network in Sweden. They interviewed us in our lab to show an image to people of what happens in a lab and to ask about the project as well as possible issues with GMO. To reach out to a broader audience we used Facebook and Twitter which we consistently updated to let people who followed us know about our progress. Our biggest prominent media appearance was at the cover of Nature Review´s tenth year anniversary edition where our chromo proteins were published.

Figure 4. The graph shows how many people viewed our posts on Facebook from July to September. We can see that the interest for our Facebook page is increasing and our record for a single day is over 1500 people visiting.

High school
Another important work in human practice was to spread the word about synthetic biology to the younger generation. One if the first things we did in spring was to travel around to different high schools to spread the word about synthetic biology and iGEM. We have also started collaborations with biotechnology high school students to do projects together with them in the future, with the goal to spread the knowledge of synthetic biology.
