Team:Bordeaux/Press Highlights
The promotion of our iGEM project is important, both for allowing many people to know about our project and for helping us for the sponsoring. This year, we are lucky to be interviewed by two radios: Radio Campus and NRJ but also by the newspaper Direct Matin and our University. As last year, the University is still interest by our project for the iGEM competition. This year, Yoann Frontout came to see us at our laboratory to interview the team in order to discover our new project. The interview was very fun for everyone and the journalist really saw our passion and our motivation through the answers to his questions. Click here to read the interview!
What is synthetic biology? What is the iGEM competition? Why are we interested in synthetic biology? Is it a new mood? Hiba, Alice, Linejy and little Marie, 4 members of our team assisted to « Campus News ». First, we presented what is synthetic biology which was a good exercise for us because the audience is a mix of students and non scientific people. We talked about the competition and the recruitment process, the journalist was impressed by our passion and our motivation to do all that work. She asked us to describe clearly and easily our project “Sleep with EpiC elegans”, which concern a majority of students who doesn’t sleep a lot because of homeworks or parties. During the show, we also played answering to some scientific questions related to history, or daily life. In order to promote our event Apéro Science, the newspaper Direct Matin talked about us.
We had the honor to be invited to NRJ, the first radio in France. We talked about student involvement in campus life. It was a pleasure to share our experience, because they usually receive artists in the station. It was the first time that they receive scientists; they were curious and really interested by our project.
Smile, you're on camera!
