Outreach

Radio iGEM

Radio iGEM started out small with our desire to broadcast the music we listen to in the lab to other iGEM teams using the Twitter hashtag #RadioiGEM. Quickly enough, this developed into a full-blown podcast that is also broadcast live. In Radio iGEM, we talk about all things synthetic biology and get guest speakers to discuss their projects. As part of the show, we also play free music.

College Interns

As part of our project, we had two A-level students from two different colleges come in and help us with the science and art aspects of our project.

Kiran is about to start studying for his A-levels. He arrived on the 3rd of August and remained with us until the 12th of August. In this time he learned a lot in the lab, even contributing towards some of our results (see the study on E. coli survivability in soil). Kiran will be pioneering his college's efforts towards their participation in next year's High school iGEM jamboree. Watch our interview with Kiran below:

Poppy is a soon-to-be A level student. She joined us for a week in early September and made some plant plates.

Science Uncovered Event at the Natural History Museum

We have been kindly asked to participate at the Science Uncovered event on the 23rd of September. Unfortunately we won't be able to include any footage on our wiki before the freeze for the regional Jamboree, but we are really looking forward to engaging with the public and explaining our project. We'll keep you updated via twitter!
