Radio spots and Panorama newspaper
As we were looking for ways to reach the Tec community, we sought which media would have a higher influence in them. We found out that Frecuencia Tec 94.9 PM is a radio station about creating awareness throughout valuable content that contribute to the development of a sustainable community.
We talked with Marco Antonio Cobos Cardona, the head coordinator of operations in the radio station, and he facilitated us the introduction of 11 radio informative spots. These spots main topics are focused on the diffusion of our project, showing the problematic that our city faces day by day with the contamination produced by e-waste. We also focused on giving the audience solutions about the right way to recycle e-waste, places where to recycle and how are the good disposal practices helping the process of recycling e-waste.
The radio spots are currently being transmitted three times a day, for an entire month.
Additionally, we also appeared in our school’s newspaper, which is called Panorama. Panorama Tec is the official newspaper of Tec de Monterrey, our university. Its main purpose is to inform students about the most relevant activities happening in our college, as well as promote them and engage the Tec community, which is conformed of around 15000 alumni, faculty members and administrative staff. They asked us if we would like to be featured in an issue and we gladly accepted because we saw it as a great opportunity to spread the word of synthetic biology and environmental consciousness
Here you can see two of our radio spots translated to english, and you can also listen to the original file in spanish!

¿Sabías que los celulares contienen más de 60 elementos tóxicos? En muchos países se arrojan los residuos electrónicos al fuego para derretir los plásticos y se extraen los metales importantes que contienen, lo cual tiene efectos dañinos para el medio ambiente y nuestra salud. Este mal manejo de residuos libera carcinógenos y neurotoxinas al aire, contribuyendo a una constante niebla tóxica o smog. El sobrante de los residuos es desechado al drenaje o ríos cercanos, contaminando los suministros de agua y el océano, afectando así a miles de especies. Hoy en día, Monterrey es la ciudad más contaminada de América Latina, es por esto que el equipo iGEM Tec-Monterrey está trabajando en un proyecto para mejorar la calidad ambiental de nuestra ciudad. Infórmate, haz conciencia y recicla adecuadamente. Para conocer más sobre nuestro proyecto síguenos en nuestra página de Facebook: iGEM (i-G-E-M) Tec-Monterrey y mantente al pendiente de nuestras cápsulas informativas en Frecuencia Tec, en donde hablaremos más sobre nuestro proyecto y del problema actual del E-waste en México y el mundo. |
Did you know that cell phones contain more than sixty toxic compounds? In many countries around the globe, electronic waste is thrown into fire pits and incinerated with the purpose of melting the plastics and retrieving all the redeemable metals. This chemical process has negative side effects in our health and the environment. This mishandling of electronic waste releases carcinogens and neurotoxins into the air, contributing to a constant toxic cloud or smog. The remaining electronic waste is discarded into the sewer system or nearby rivers, contaminating water supplies and oceans, affecting with this malpractice thousands of specimens. Nowadays, Monterrey is the most polluted city in Latin America. This is why the team iGEM Tec-Monterrey is working on a project to improve the environmental quality in our city. Investigate, create awareness and recycle properly. To learn more about our project follow us on our Facebook page: iGEM (i-G-E-M) Tec-Monterrey and stay tuned for more informative spots in Frecuencia Tec, where we will be talking more about our project and the ongoing problem of electronic waste in Mexico and the world. |

¿Te imaginas una bacteria que elimine el mal olor del sudor? ¿o una bacteria que detenga la extinción de las abejas? O, incluso, ¿una bacteria que ayude a curar el cáncer? iGEM es una competencia anual, en donde equipos multidisciplinarios de universidades de todo el mundo trabajan para hacer realidad estas ideas, utilizando la ingeniería genética. Los equipos de iGEM trabajan dentro y fuera del laboratorio para crear todo tipo de proyectos que buscan cambiar al mundo. En el equipo de iGEM Tec-Monterrey queremos ayudar a salvar al planeta. Nuestro proyecto se enfoca en solucionar el problema de contaminación por desechos electrónicos o e-waste, utilizando bacterias genéticamente modificadas. Para conocer más sobre nuestro proyecto síguenos en nuestra página de Facebook: iGEM (i-G-E-M) Tec-Monterrey y mantente al pendiente de nuestras cápsulas informativas en Frecuencia Tec, en donde hablaremos más sobre nuestro proyecto y del problema actual del E-waste en México y el mundo. |
Can you imagine a bacteria that eliminates the stink of sweat? Or a bacteria that helps stop honey-bees from becoming extinct? Or even a bacteria that will help cure cancer? iGEM is an international competition that takes place annually, where multidisciplinary teams from different universities around the world work to make these ideas come true, through the means of genetic engineering. iGEM teams work inside and outside the lab to create all types of projects that focus on changing the world. Our team iGEM Tec-Monterrey wants to help save the planet. Our project is determined in solving the problem of pollution generated by electronic waste, or e-waste, using genetically modified bacteria. To learn more about our project follow us on our Facebook page: iGEM (i-G-E-M) Tec-Monterrey and stay tuned for more informative spots in Frecuencia Tec, where we will be discussing more about our project and the ongoing problematic of electronic waste in Mexico and the world. |
