Human Practice

Our cooperation with mass media

Mass media coverage in July, August and September

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 mass campaign in media.

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). You can find all the links to media mentions about The Warsaw iGEM Team below. We had an interview on Channel 1 and 4 where we talked about the iGEM competition and synthetic biology, food safety and the FluoSafe project. We took part in a program about bioengineering broadcasted by TVP1 (largest public TV in Poland), 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 (eng. Education in biology and environment), 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.
