| |
| − | The iGEM team at the University of Pretoria together with the <a href="http://www.acgt.co.za/">African Centre for Gene Technologies (ACGT)</a> and the <a href="http://www.fabinet.up.ac.za/research-groups/forest-molecular-genetics">Forest Molecular Genetics (FMG) research group</a> hosted a synthetic biology workshop and symposium. The <a href="http://www.fabinet.up.ac.za/index.php/news-item?id=446">synthetic biology workshop</a> was hosted at the University of Pretoria’s main campus on the 5th of September and facilitated by <a href="http://www.cambridgebiodesign.org/forum/page8/page6/index.html">Professor Fernan Federici</a> from the University of Cambridge. Prof. Fernan gave an introduction to synthetic biology to the workshop attendees and went on to discuss the engineering of multicellular organisms and DNA fabrication, as well as TechnoX and the social impact and effect on collaborations.

| − | Media is an important source to keep society up-to-date with our project progress as well as with the events we are hosting and taking part in.
| |
| − | We created and maintain a Pretoria_UP iGEM 2016 <a href="https://www.facebook.com/iGEMPretoriaUP" target="_blank">Facebook</a>& <a href="https://twitter.com/iGEMPretoria_UP" target="_blank">Twitter</a> page to spread awareness of our project and to keep our followers updated on everything and anything which took place in the lab as well as our events.
| |
| − | We also had tons of fun while making two videos to explain what our project's about. They can also be found on our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW-YsMwxJPgFV1maqIRVLRg">Pretoria_UP iGEM Youtube channel.</a>
