= Thaumatin =<br />
<hr/><br />
[[File:gruppe_thaumatin_TUM12.jpg|350px|thumb||Responsible: Martin Schappert and Alois Bräuer]]<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align:justify;">"'''Why'''? O WHY???" is the reaction we usually face when we tell our friends, that we '''genetically engineer yeast to secrete a sweetener'''. "Kruzifixnochemol" is another, more cryptic one. <br />
<br>We must admit, even we do not think that a "Münchner Hell" or a "Pils" would benefit from the distinct sweetness of Thaumatin, originally produced by ''Thaumatococcus daniellii''. <br />
<br>So, why, o why have we chosen Thaumatin? There are a '''variety of arguments''' that have to be taken into consideration:<br />
<br />
* Since experiments in the 1980ies, nobody tried to express Thaumatin via ''S. cerevisiae'' - so we saw the possibility to enhance the production and make it more efficient (as one of the biggest problems for industrial use of Thaumatin so far is the '''low yield efficiency''') by codon usage optimization.<br />
<br />
* If you think of the beers of the Anglo-Saxon world - stouts and ales - these are the sorts that could '''directly profit from the licorice-like sweetness''', as they are generally more full-bodied and show a variety of caramel flavors.<br />
<br />
* It opens the world of brewage to a whole '''new generation of lifestyle drinks''' - perhaps a bit too innovative for the conservative german beer market, but nevertheless there is quite a potential there for cutting-edge beverages with the soul of beer and the savor of all the fruits you can imagine. Thaumatin might serve as a '''low-carb ingredient to balance out the bitter and sour flavors''' of guava, grapefruits, currant - ''or even horseradish''.<br />
<br />
==Background and Principles==<br />
<hr/><br />
<div><br />
[[File:TUM12_structure_thaumatin.png|thumb|300px|]]<br />
Thaumatin is a natural ''α+β-protein'' which is synthesized by the katamfe plant (''Thaumatococcus daniellii'') – a species of tropical flowering plants - and belongs to the thaumatin-like protein family. There exist different varieties of thaumatin, however, thaumatin I und thaumatin II are well characterized and differ only in one amino acid position (position 46 – without signaling sequence; thaumatin I Asn; thaumatin II Lys). Both are said to be '''22000 to 100000 times sweeter than sucrose''' on molar basis, but the sweetness builds slow and lasts long.<br />
<br />
Thaumatin is a ''single chain with 207 amino acid residues'', ''eight disulfide bonds'' and a '''molecular weight of 22.2 kDa'''. It is highly water soluble, stable at heating (not for cooking, bakery, etc.) and stable under acidic conditions. The production of thaumatin is induced by an attack upon the plant by viroid pathogens. Thus it is involved in systematically acquired resistance and stress response. <br />
<br />
Thaumatin has been '''approved as a sweetener''' in the European Union (E957).<br />
<br />
The general idea is to create a system that expresses thaumatin via genetic engineering of ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'', respectively the direct precursor ('''preprothaumatin'''). The N-terminal "pre" part is the internal signalling sequence for '''secretion''', the C-terminal "pro" sequence supports the correct and '''functional folding''' of thaumatin.<br />
Alternatively one could have used a fusion product of prothaumatin and the Mat-&alpha;-factor to achieve secretion.<br />
<br />
The '''''natural'' preprothaumatin''' seems to be preferable, because of the expected '''higher yield''' [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=21636903 Masuda et al., 2011]] and the possibility that the pre-sequence is necessary for the correct procession [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=17897626 Ide et al., 2007]]. A similar construct was used by the Kyoto University (Ide ''et al.'', submitted) in ''Pichia pastoris'' with a ''pPIC6α expression vector'' and achieved a high yield (especially with the preprothaumatin I gene and without the α-factor secretion signal).<br />
<br />
<br />
===The molecular and physiological effects of thaumatin===<br />
<br />
The '''sweet taste receptor''' is a heterodimeric receptor composed of ''T1R2'' (also TAS1R2) and ''T1R3'' (also TAS1R3) subunits. The large amino-terminal domains (NTD) of the T1R2 and T1R3 subunits have shown to be responsible for the primary ligand binding [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=22450161 Maîtrepierre et al., 2012]]. In addition these receptors have a heptahelical transmembrane domain. T1R receptors belong to the family of ''class C G-Protein coupled receptors'' (GPCRs), which in this case means that, through ligand binding, an elevation of cAMP concentration in the taste buds is induced [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=19489607 Ide et al., 2009], [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=15087236 Ozeck et al., 2004]]. As a result a decrease in the intracellular cAMP accumulation is measured. Released calcium (Ca2+) seems to be another independent second messenger within the transduction of the taste response (downstream of taste receptors) [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=16510847 Trubey et al., 2006]].<br />
<br />
However, not only sucralose or other sugars can bind with the NTDs of the sweet taste receptor, but also thaumatin [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=19489607 Ide et al., 2009]]. It seems to have a longer lasting and stronger effect than sucralose.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
===Theoretical consideration: How much thaumatin is needed in foodstuff?===<br />
<br />
The molecular weight of sucrose is 342,30 g/mol, respectively 22194,13 g/mol for thaumatin. This means that although the relative sweetness of thaumatin is 2000 to 10000 times the sweetness of sucrose '''on a molar basis''', it's ''only'' ~30 to 150 times the sweetness when measured in mass.<br />
<br />
Thus you need to put 0,07 to 0,35 g of thaumatin into 100 ml generic soft drink to create an equal level of sweetness.<br />
<br />
==Results==<br />
<hr/><br />
<br />
===BioBricks planning===<br />
The BioBricks designed encode the '''Prepro-Thaumatin''' ([http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K801080 BBa_K801080]) that is believed to be exported on its own [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6327079 Edens et al., 1984]]. The original gene sequence was optimized for best yeast codon usage using GeneArt® GeneOptimizer®. We ordered the gene synthesis and cloned this BioBrick into pSB1C3 and our galactose inducible yeast expression vector '''pTUM104'''. Furthermore we constructed an expression cassette with ''TeF1''-promoter and the ''TeF1''-terminator, which is also available as a protein generator (BBa_K801081). This expression cassette was subsequently cloned into the integration vector (BBa_K300001 ) assuring expression in brewing medium.<br />
<br />
===Expression of Thaumatin===<br />
<br />
We are planning a western blot of the supernatant to prove proper secretion. SDS page and coomassie/silver staining have proven to be too insensitive.<br />
<div style="clear:both"><br />
==== Ion exchange chromatography ====<br />
</div><br />
[[file:TUM12_ThaumatinIEC.png|600px|thump|right|Bildbeschreibung]]<br />
Preprothaumatin will be posttranslationally modified by cleaving a part of the N- and the C-terminal polypeptide. Therefore it was not possible to add a tag for affinity chromatography. For this reason it was necessary to purify the protein from the cytoplasm of the disintegrated yeast cells using ion exchange chromatography for having a proof of principle.<br />
<br />
'''Experimental details:'''<br />
*Samples: cell lysate, supernatant from culture, reference for thaumatin (MedHerbs)<br />
*Dialysis against 20 mM MES buffer pH 6.0 (twice) using a 12-16 kDa dialysis membrane<br />
*Chromatography with a Äkta purifier equipped with a Ressource S 6ml (S: Methyl sulfonate (strong cation exchanger))<br />
*Sample was applied using a super-loop<br />
*Wash with two column volumes 20 mM MES buffer pH 6.0<br />
*Elution with a gradient of 0-500 mM NaCl over 5 column volumes<br />
*Fractions of 1 ml were collected during the elution<br><br />
<br />
'''Experimental results:'''<br />
*Reference thaumatin (see figure A and B)<br />
**nearly no protein in the flow through during sample application (see figure A)<br />
**a major peak eluting at ~14 mS*cm-1 which corresponds to fraction No. 14, see figure A)<br />
**the corresponding SDS-PAGE showed a clear bond around fraction No. 14 corresponding the expected 22 kDa<br />
*Cell lysate<br />
**high concentration of protein in the flow through (see figure C and D)<br />
**no clear peak around fraction No. 14 could be detected <br />
**SDS-PAGE performed from the reference and the fractions No. 12 to 15 showed a weak bond having the same size as the reference (see running properties on SDS-PAGE in figure D) and the same isoelectric point (both eluted in fraction No. 14)<br />
*Supernatant of yeast culture (see figure E and F)<br />
**export of the protein in high concentrations was unlikely to happen, therefore 48 ml of supernatant were loaded on the column<br />
**ratio between flow through and eluted protein was less favorable compared to the cell lysate<br />
**total protein quantities were to low to be detected by coomassie stain, therefore a silver stain was performed (see figure F)<br />
**beside the reference no additional protein bonds could be detected on the silver stained SDS-PAGE<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
'''Conclusion of this experiment:'''<br> <br />
<br><br />
A '''proof of principle for the expression of thaumatin was achieved using ion exchange chromotography and comparison of bonds obtained on SDS-PAGE relatively to a standard of thaumatin'''. <br> <br />
Further goals would include to increase the expression of thaumatin and to investigate the secretion. This could be achieved by improving the purification protocol to load more than 10 ml of cell lysate on the column in order to purify a sufficient amount of protein for a mass spectrum of the produced thaumatin. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
==== Toxicity Assay ====<br />
<br />
To check if thaumatin has an effect on yeast cells, we inoculated three different yeast strains with YPD including 45 mM of thaumatin and measured their growth rate after a defined period of time. The used yeast strains were the laboratory strain ''INVSc1'', a strain which is used for brewing beer and a strain which can be purchased in supermarkets. <br />
The growth rate of yeast cells which were incubated with thaumatin does not show a difference compared to the negative control (incubation of analogous strains with YPD without thaumatin). The small differences in doubling time are errors in measurement. <br />
<br />
As expected, thaumatin does not have an effect on the growth rate of yeast cells. Hence we are not limited in over-expressing the sweetener in our beer. <br />

Contrary to popular opinion the chief ingredient of beer is not '''YPD''' but '''gyle''', a carefully prepared mixture of malt, hop and water. Although the name of the yeast strain commonly used in the lab, '''''S. cerevisiae''''', suggests that it is used in the beer brewing process, the yeast strains generally employed in brewing process have '''strongly adapted to gyle''', as they are reutilized after every succeeding brewing cycle.<br />
Hence some investigation on how our yeast '''performs in gyle''' was necessary.<br />
<br />
Our experiments show that the growth of several different yeast strains is '''not impaired in gyle'''!<br />
<br />
Expression assays proved the necessity of [[Team:TU_Munich/Project/Genome_Integration|'''genome integration''']] for a proper '''SynBio Beer'''.<br />

<br />
[[file:TUM12_Beer_ingred.png|200px|right|thumb|'''Fig. 2:''' The four major ingredients: '''(A)''' Yeast, '''(B/C)''' Hop and '''(D)''' Malt]]<br />
<br />
=== Preparation of the Mash ===<br />
<br />
#'''(1A)''' We started by filling 20 l of water in a steel pot and heated it up to about 50 °C and then added 4-5 kg malt. If you are in possession of a special bag for mash, a so called "Maischesack", you can fill the malt in the bag and hang it into the pot. Mind that the bag should not touch the bottom of the pot as this could lead to burning of the bag and results in a slightly burned taste.<br />
#'''(1B)''' We kept up the temperature of 50 °C and continuously stirred the mixture for 30 minutes. During these 30 minutes proteases will decompose proteins contained in the shredded malt. After those 30 minutes we heated the mixture to 63 °C and kept this temperature up for 60 minutes. Subsequently we heated to 73 °C and kept stirring continuously. [[file:TUM12_Beer_degree_determ.png|300px|right|thumb|'''Figure 3.''' Measurement of original wort]] [[file:TUM12_Beer_iodine.png|300px|right|thumb|'''Figure 4.''' A) Still starch available so it is not finished now B-C succeeding samples from an iodine test]]<br />
#'''(1C)''' The next step was the iodine test to verify whether starch was completely converted to sugar. We removed a small sample of mash and added iodine. A resulting blue-violet coloring indicated that there was still some leftover starch so the temperature of 73°C was kept up and this step was repeated until no staining was visible.<br> As soon as the iodine did not cause any stain the mash was heated to 78 °C for 90 minutes - again under continuous stirring.<br />
#'''(1D/E)''' The next step in the procedure was the lautering: a lautering cloth was strained over the opening of a large plastic pot and all the mash was filtered through this cloth. As all the malt was filtered out in this step the lautering cloth needed to be well fixated to the plastic pot as it was needed to carry weights of up to 5 kg.<br />
#'''(3A-C)''' The filtrate, the so called '''gyle''', should now have a wort of about 12 %. The wort was measured with the help of a refractometer or a hydrometer. If the target of 12 % could not reached, hot water should be filtered through the mash and the lautering cloth until 12 % wort are attained.<br />
#'''(1F)''' Eventually the mash should be filled back into the steel pot, after carefully cleaning it.<br />
<br />
=== Brewing the beer ===<br />
<br />
# After heating the gyle to 100 °C, 30-40 gram of hops were added. The best results were obtained when the hop was not directly added to the gyle but filled in a small bag with small stones and then thrown into the gyle.<br />
# The temperature of 100 °C should be kept up for 60 minutes. During this time the plastic pot should be cleaned and sterilized. The lautering cloth should also be cleaned, using boiling water. <br />
# Now another filtration step was necessary which was exactly the same as step 4 above although this time every utensil employed needed to be kept sterile.<br />
# The plastic pot should now been stored in a cold place where the gyle could cool down. Speeding up this procedure as long as the gyle was kept sterile was highly advised.<br />
# '''The following steps depend heavily on type of yeast that will be used.'''<br />
# As '''''S. cerevisiae''''' is a bottom-fermenting yeast the gyle should have a temperature of about 10 °C. From now on all temperatures should be checked regularly as heat is generated during the fermentation process.<br />
# When the target temperature was attained the yeast was added and the gyle was stirred to homogeneously spread the yeast in the gyle. The plastic pot was closed with a cap '''(not air-tight!)''' and was stored for 24 h at about 20 °C.<br />
# When working with a fermenting tube it should now be attached to the cap and filled with boiling water. This should close the pot air-tight.<br />
# Now the beer should be stored for 8-11 days until no more bubbles are visible on top of the gyle. This will conclude the brewing process.<br />
# The finished beer can now be filled in bottles. Pay attention that no yeast is dispersed from the bottom of the pot! When working with transgenic yeast, sterile filtering should be used to assure that no transgenic yeast enters the bottle!<br />
<br />

<br />
===Experiment 1: Survival And Growth of Different Yeast Strains under Various Conditions===<br />
To ensure that our yeast strain ''INVSc'' grew in a medium which is typical for the brewing process we set up an experiment with different conditions. <br />
<br />
We compared the growth rate of the laboratory yeast ''INVSc'' to a yeast strain, which is typically used for brewing beer and to a yeast strain, which can be purchased at normal supermarkets. <br />
We inoculated those three strains with the same OD in three different mediums: gyle with and without hop, and the typically laboratory medium YPD, which we used for all our expression experiments. The growth rate was measured after a defined time period by measuring the OD at 600 nm. <br />
<br />
The results show no difference in growth behavior. Neither the three different strains grew unequally in the same medium, nor the various mediums had an effect on the growth rate of the yeast strains. <br />
This experimental proof of principle shows the ability of our genetically modified yeast to grow in the given environment in an adequate amount we needed for our experiments. Hence we did not need to switch to a specialized brewing yeast for our brewing experiments. <br />

[[File:TUM12_LSbeer.jpg|200px|thumb|right||Fig. 7: iGEM's first and finest SynBio Beer with limonene.]]<br />
A first attempt to use our genetically engineered yeasts to brew a SynBio Beer was conducted using a transient transfection with a constitutive promoter. The drawback is that in gyle the selection pressure was not preserved and the loss of the plasmid was possible.<br><br />
<br />
Three liters of gyle were inoculated in 100 ml of a stationary yeast culture grown in YPD that was transiently transfected with a plasmid harboring a constitutive expression cassette for the limonene synthase.<br />
<br />
We analyzed this first beer for limonene content via headspace (SPME needle) GC-MS. Unfortunately, we could not yet proof a significant difference between the beer containing limonene and the negative control beer. This might be due to a loss of the plasmid which encodes limonene synthase. We will try to integrate the limonene synthase expression cassette into the genome of yeast and afterwards we will repeat the experiment.</div>Nadine1990http://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Project/BrewingTeam:TU Munich/Project/Brewing2012-10-26T18:52:38Z<p>Nadine1990: /* Experiment 2: Experiments with expression cassettes on a transient transfected vector */</p>

# The temperature of 100 °C should be kept up for 60 minutes. During this time the plastic pot should be cleaned and sterilized. The lautering cloth should also be cleaned, using boiling water. <br />
# Now another filtration step was necessary which was exactly the same as step 4 above although this time every utensil employed needed to be kept sterile.<br />
# The plastic pot should now been stored in a cold place where the gyle could cool down. Speeding up this procedure as long as the gyle was kept sterile was highly advised.<br />
# '''The following steps depend heavily on type of yeast that will be used.'''<br />
# As '''''S. cerevisiae''''' is a bottom-fermenting yeast the gyle should have a temperature of about 10 °C. From now on all temperatures should be checked regularly as heat is generated during the fermentation process.<br />
# When the target temperature was attained the yeast was added and the gyle was stirred to homogeneously spread the yeast in the gyle. The plastic pot was closed with a cap '''(not air-tight!)''' and was stored for 24 h at about 20 °C.<br />
# When working with a fermenting tube it should now be attached to the cap and filled with boiling water. This should close the pot air-tight.<br />
# Now the beer should be stored for 8-11 days until no more bubbles are visible on top of the gyle. This will conclude the brewing process.<br />
# The finished beer can now be filled in bottles. Pay attention that no yeast is dispersed from the bottom of the pot! When working with transgenic yeast, sterile filtering should be used to assure that no transgenic yeast enters the bottle!<br />
<br />
==Results==<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Experiment 1: Survival and growth of different yeast strains under various conditions===<br />
To ensure that our yeast strain ''INVSc'' grew in a medium which is typical for the brewing process we set up an experiment with different conditions. <br />
<br />
We compared the growth rate of the laboratory yeast ''INVSc'' to a yeast strain, which is typically used for brewing beer and to a yeast strain, which can be purchased at normal supermarkets. <br />
We inoculated those three strains with the same OD in three different mediums: gyle with and without hop, and the typically laboratory medium YPD, which we used for all our expression experiments. The growth rate was measured after a defined time period by measuring the OD at 600 nm. <br />
<br />
The results show no difference in growth behavior. Neither the three different strains grew unequally in the same medium, nor the various mediums had an effect on the growth rate of the yeast strains. <br />
This experimental proof of principle shows the ability of our genetically modified yeast to grow in the given environment in an adequate amount we needed for our experiments. Hence we did not need to switch to a specialized brewing yeast for our brewing experiments. <br />

[[File:TUM12_LSbeer.jpg|200px|thumb|right||Fig. 7: iGEM's first and finest SynBio Beer with limonene.]]<br />
A first attempt to use our genetically engineered yeasts to brew a SynBio Beer was conducted using a transient transfection with a constitutive promoter. The drawback is that in gyle the selection pressure was not preserved and the loss of the plasmid was possible.<br><br />
<br />
Three liters of gyle were inoculated in 100 ml of a stationary yeast culture grown in YPD that was transiently transfected with a plasmid harboring a constitutive expression cassette for the limonene synthase.<br />
<br />
We analyzed this first beer for limonene content via headspace (SPME needle) GC-MS. Unfortunately, we could not yet proof a significant difference between the beer containing limonene and the negative control beer. This might be due to a loss of the plasmid which encodes limonene synthase. We will try to integrate the limonene synthase expression cassette into the genome of yeast and afterwards we will repeat the experiment.</div>Nadine1990http://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/PoliticsTeam:TU Munich/Human Practice/Politics2012-10-26T18:51:38Z<p>Nadine1990: /* Panel discussion with local politicians about GMOs in food */</p>

==Panel Discussion with Local Politicians about GMOs in Food==<br />
<div class="bezel mfull"><br />
[[File:TUM12_Politics_Poster.jpg|right|350px]]<br />
On September 18th, 2012, about 100 people followed our invitation to an insightful evening about “genetic engineering in food”.<br />
<br />
This event was of '''high importance''' because the vast majority of the German people are '''suspicious of genetic engineering'''. Scientific articles as well as the daily press have been reporting about the overall negative public perception towards genetic engineering in Germany over the last years [https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:kK44lZMspdkJ:www.michaelmzwick.de/genetics.pdf+&hl=de&gl=de&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEEShBd0BXOOV_bWZV-2nMh8uiUQ7FIvLNZ9tcFD83kbwlJICTeDYEhoL_aNY6XzojwHAaNb82bAGN857lqKtnkpOzOZm18-Br75JO2RWnf5ggXr-yRYCrHt8YAuDRYTF1ja6Ga0FQ&sig=AHIEtbSDcumG3_aivKBxCVB94ZFjOI4nvA] [http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/fighting-in-the-field-monsanto-s-uphill-battle-in-germany-a-611582.html]. In particular people are afraid of genetic engineering in food.<br />
Our project intends to brew a beer with genetically modified yeast. Keeping in mind that beer has a long tradition in Germany and that Germany is proud of its German purity law [http://www3.sympatico.ca/n.rieck/docs/Reinheitsgebot.html], our team expected to face some rejection from the broader population. Many discussions leading up to the information event revealed that oftentimes '''people lack fundamental knowledge''' about genetics. Therefore, they can hardly evaluate the pros and cons of genetic engineering themselves and reject this new technology completely.<br />

<br><br />
<br />
Therefore, our team decided to host an information event on “genetic engineering in food”. During the introductory presentation two of our team members gave a talk on synthetic biology, iGEM and our project (“iGEM’s first and finest SynBio beer”). Dr. Schenkel, working for the '''Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety''', gave the second talk. He explained the '''complex regulatory system''' for genetic engineering in Germany and the European Union. A third inspiring presentation by Prof Wenzel underlined the advantages of genetic engineering. From a global perspective he argued for the usage of genetic engineering in food.<br />
<br />
A panel with discussion with scientists and local politicians came next. As politicians can influence the legislative framework concerning genetic engineering, the discussion offered a good chance to gain an understanding of how politicians think about the topic. Prof. Skerra moderated the discussion with the following panelists: Prof. Wenzel, Prof. Schwab, Dr. Schenkel, Mr. Warlimont, Dr. Pause, Dr. Alberti and Mr. Morath. The politicians declared that they do '''not fundamentally oppose''' genetic engineering. Instead they recognized the potential advantages of the technology. However, they underlined that it is '''necessary to communicate''' these advantages to the general public. People need to be more integrated and informed about the technology and its development process. Otherwise they do not perceive the necessity to accept the small but existing remaining risks of genetic engineering and feel that some large companies try to maximize their profits at the expense of the general public. Therefore, the vast majority does not support genetic engineering in food at the moment.<br />
<br />
Hosting this event was very informative for all of us and it turned out once again that our SynBio beer is an excellent way to inform people about genetic engineering.<br />

====Background Information==== <br />
[[File:IGEM-Germany-logo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Fig. 1: German iGEM logo''']]<br />
At a conference in Berlin organized by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research all German iGEM Teams decided to take part in a '''Germany-wide''' "Action Day" on August 25th. The idea was to attract attention to iGEM and synthetic biology in Germany. '''The iGEM teams worked together''' to put this idea into practice. We wrote a [https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/Information_Day#Press_release_in_English press release] for all teams that was published in several newspapers all over the country. <br />
<br />
Each iGEM Team organized a kind of "SynBio Action" in its hometown on August 25th. We had an '''information booth''' in the city of Munich that we shared with the '''other Munich iGEM team (LMU)'''. During the day, we informed people about synthetic biology, iGEM and our project. Although many people in Germany are critical about genetic engineering, they were '''really interested in iGEM''' and our project, mainly because it deals with beer. Yet many people argued that they do not support genetically modified food. They are afraid of eating it because they do not know if it interferes with their body functions. <br />
<br />
However, we '''organized a poster, information materials and handouts''' to explain the basics of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. Almost everybody liked the idea of iGEM and that we are so ambitious to take part in it. Especially the '''transparency''' of this competition and the '''concept of standardization via BioBricks was favored.'''<br />
<br />
====What We Did==== <br />
To inform the people about synthetic biology we distributed '''two booklets''' of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. One was entitled '''"Hier steckt Biotechnologie drin"''' (There's biotechnology inside), the other one "Weiße Biotechnologie" (white biotechnology). Besides, we prepared [https://2012.igem.org/File:Informationbooklet.pdf information material] to present iGEM and the two projects of the Munich iGEM teams. Last but not least SCNAT (Swiss Academy of Science) provided us a comic about synthetic biology that we distributed. <br />
To get the children interested in scientific topics and to explain them the principles of standardized parts, we provided them '''Lego bricks''' at our booth and they build creative constructs. Moreover, many children took part in our painting competition. The challenge was to paint an animal that possesses at least one feature of another animal. <br />
<br />
[[File:TUM-legobrick.jpg|350px|thumb|left|'''Fig. 2: Lego Brick for the kids''']]<br />
<br />
====Conclusion====<br />
In total the Germany-wide "Action Day" was '''really successful'''. We addressed a lot of people and informed them about the ideas and opportunities of synthetic biology. Especially our project attracted much interest because everybody in Germany (and mainly in Bavaria) likes beer and consequently the idea to modify it using "super yeast". It is a topic everybody can talk about and thus it is easy to communicate the keynotes of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. <br />
The children often '''painted or built constructs with Lego bricks''' while their '''parents talked with us about iGEM and our project.''' Many people were attracted by our poster and stopped to read it. We are really happy that we addressed so many people and that we communicated them the principles of iGEM and BioBricks.<br />

===Children Painting Contest Illustrating Synthetic Biology===<br />
[[File:TUM-TicketsZoo.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''Fig. 3: The tickets for Munich Zoo''']]<br />
The painting competition was a descriptive way to explain children the principles of synthetic biology. By transferring a feature of one animal to another you can '''create a completely new organism'''. All in all this is the idea of synthetic biology. We also explained the children that we do this in our project as well. Yet we do not work with big animals but with smaller organisms. Finally, we are able to transfer features of plants to yeast. Besides, we explained the principles of iGEM using Lego Bricks and the children built interesting constructs on their own.<br />
The children who participated in our competition won tickets to the zoo in Munich ("Tierpark Hellabrunn"). They painted really nice pictures as you can see below.<br />
We learned from the kids that there are actually no boarders for imagination and that the statement "thinking outside the box" was here more present than anywhere else. They talked to us and were so enthusiastic about SynBio, because for them it is a tool to change the world. Showing us their view of the world and as a consequence make things very simple had a huge impact on us. <br />

'''What Lego Bricks and Biology have in common'''<br />
<br />
<br />
On the 25th of August the German iGEM Teams held a Germany-wide action day. In [City] students of the [University] informed about Synthetic Biology and the iGEM competition. Students of the [University] participate this year, like the last years too, in iGEM. iGEM is the abbreviation for "international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. This international competition in the field of Synthetic Biology is held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, since 2003. Within the years iGEM got one of the most famous competitions in the steadily growing field of SynBio. In the last year 160 student teams from all over the world participated.<br />
Synthetic Biology is an interdisciplinary field of study, combining molecular biology, chemistry, engineering, biotechnology and IT.<br />
<br />
The aim is to create new biological systems which can be transferred in organisms and grant them certain characteristics and features that don't exist naturally. These systems are created in a modular way what is the gist of SynBio and iGEM. These biological systems are designed by single gene parts, called BioBricks. Similar to Lego bricks these Biobricks can be combined in different and new ways. For the completion the teams can use BioBricks from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, comparable to a box of different Lego Bricks. There is no limit, anything is possible.<br />
<br />
The teams have half a year to realize their project, either using existing BioBricks or creating new ones. The projects vary a lot, one team faces environmental problems, others build very sensitive biosensors and another team deals with medical problems. <br />
In the beginning of November the teams present their projects and the results at the “final” at the MIT to the other teams. <br />
<br />
The [university] has this year again an iGEM Team. It is dealing with [short description]. If you want to know more about the project come on the 25th of August between [time] and [time] to the information booth at [place]. <br />
The action day takes part in several German cities, the team inform about iGEM, Synthetic Biology and their project<br />

Was LEGO Steine mit Biologie zu tun haben<br />
<br />
Am 25.08.2012 laden die deutschen iGEM-Teams zum deutschlandweiten Aktionstag. In [Ort] informieren Studenten der [Universität] über Synthetische Biologie und den iGEM Wettbewerb.<br />
Wie in den vergangenen Jahren nehmen Studenten der [Universität] auch in diesem Jahr wieder an iGEM teil. iGEM steht für „international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. Dieser internationale Wettbewerb im Bereich der Synthetischen Biologie wird seit 2003 jährlich am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge (USA) ausgetragen. Über die Jahre hat sich iGEM zu einem der bedeutendsten internationalen Ereignisse auf dem rasch wachsenden Feld der Synthetischen Biologie entwickelt. Allein im letzten Jahr nahmen über 160 Studententeams aus der ganzen Welt an iGEM teil.<br />
Die Synthetische Biologie ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsgebiet, in dem die Fachbereiche Molekularbiologie, Chemie, Ingenieurwissenschaften, Biotechnologie und Informationstechnik verschmelzen. Ziel der Forschung ist die Entwicklung neuer, in der Natur nicht vorkommender, biologischer Systeme, die bestimmte Eigenschaften und Funktionen besitzen. Werden diese biologischen Systeme in einen Organismus eingebaut, verleihen sie ihm die gewünschten Eigenschaften. <br />
Der modulare Aufbau der neuen biologischen Systeme ist das Kernstück der Synthetischen Biologie und des iGEM Wettbewerbs. Die biologischen Systeme werden aus einzelnen genetischen Bausteinen, den sogenannten BioBricks. aufgebaut. Ähnlich wie LEGO Steine können die genetischen Bausteine miteinander zu neuen Kombinationen verknüpft werden. Für den iGEM Wettbewerb können die Studententeams aus der Registry of Standard Biological Parts, vergleichbar mit einer großen Kiste unterschiedlichster LEGO Steine, verschiedene BioBricks auswählen. Der Kreativität der Studenten sind dabei fast keine Grenzen gesetzt. Die Studententeams haben ein halbes Jahr Zeit, um mit Hilfe bestehender oder selbst entworfener BioBricks innovative Forschungsprojekte aus dem Themengebiet der Synthetischen Biologie umzusetzen. <br />
Die Wettbewerbsbeiträge sind ganz unterschiedlicher Natur. Während sich die einen mit Umweltfragen auseinandersetzen, bauen die anderen hochsensible Biosensoren, andere wiederum beschäftigen sich mit tiefgreifenden medizinischen Problemen. Anfang November präsentieren die einzelnen Teams ihre Ergebnisse auf dem großen Finale am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.<br />
Die [Universität] stellt erneut ein iGEM-Team. Dieses Jahr setzt es sich mit [kurze Beschreibung des eigenen Projekts].<br />
Wer mehr über das ambitionierte Projekt erfahren möchte, kann sich am 25. August 2012 zwischen [Anfangszeit] und [Endzeit] Uhr am Informationsstand am [Ort des Informationsstandes] informieren. Neben dem persönlichen Austausch, gibt es umfangreiches Informationsmaterial und [Platz für spezielle Angebote vor Ort].<br />
<br />
Der deutschlandweite iGEM Aktionstag findet in ausgewählten Städten Deutschlands statt. Die jeweiligen Teams informieren über Synthetische Biologie, iGEM und die Projekte der jeweiligen ortsansässigen Teams.<br />

'''What Lego Bricks and Biology have in common'''<br />
<br />
<br />
On the 25th of August the German iGEM Teams held a Germany-wide action day. In [City] students of the [University] informed about Synthetic Biology and the iGEM competition. Students of the [University] participate this year, like the last years too, in iGEM. iGEM is the abbreviation for "international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. This international competition in the field of Synthetic Biology is held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, since 2003. Within the years iGEM got one of the most famous competitions in the steadily growing field of SynBio. In the last year 160 student teams from all over the world participated.<br />
Synthetic Biology is an interdisciplinary field of study, combining molecular biology, chemistry, engineering, biotechnology and IT.<br />
<br />
The aim is to create new biological systems which can be transferred in organisms and grant them certain characteristics and features that don't exist naturally. These systems are created in a modular way what is the gist of SynBio and iGEM. These biological systems are designed by single gene parts, called BioBricks. Similar to Lego bricks these Biobricks can be combined in different and new ways. For the completion the teams can use BioBricks from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, comparable to a box of different Lego Bricks. There is no limit, anything is possible.<br />
<br />
The teams have half a year to realize their project, either using existing BioBricks or creating new ones. The projects vary a lot, one team faces environmental problems, others build very sensitive biosensors and another team deals with medical problems. <br />
In the beginning of November the teams present their projects and the results at the “final” at the MIT to the other teams. <br />
<br />
The [university] has this year again an iGEM Team. It is dealing with [short description]. If you want to know more about the project come on the 25th of August between [time] and [time] to the information booth at [place]. <br />
The action day takes part in several German cities, the team inform about iGEM, Synthetic Biology and their project<br />

Was LEGO Steine mit Biologie zu tun haben<br />
<br />
Am 25.08.2012 laden die deutschen iGEM-Teams zum deutschlandweiten Aktionstag. In [Ort] informieren Studenten der [Universität] über Synthetische Biologie und den iGEM Wettbewerb.<br />
Wie in den vergangenen Jahren nehmen Studenten der [Universität] auch in diesem Jahr wieder an iGEM teil. iGEM steht für „international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. Dieser internationale Wettbewerb im Bereich der Synthetischen Biologie wird seit 2003 jährlich am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge (USA) ausgetragen. Über die Jahre hat sich iGEM zu einem der bedeutendsten internationalen Ereignisse auf dem rasch wachsenden Feld der Synthetischen Biologie entwickelt. Allein im letzten Jahr nahmen über 160 Studententeams aus der ganzen Welt an iGEM teil.<br />
Die Synthetische Biologie ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsgebiet, in dem die Fachbereiche Molekularbiologie, Chemie, Ingenieurwissenschaften, Biotechnologie und Informationstechnik verschmelzen. Ziel der Forschung ist die Entwicklung neuer, in der Natur nicht vorkommender, biologischer Systeme, die bestimmte Eigenschaften und Funktionen besitzen. Werden diese biologischen Systeme in einen Organismus eingebaut, verleihen sie ihm die gewünschten Eigenschaften. <br />
Der modulare Aufbau der neuen biologischen Systeme ist das Kernstück der Synthetischen Biologie und des iGEM Wettbewerbs. Die biologischen Systeme werden aus einzelnen genetischen Bausteinen, den sogenannten BioBricks. aufgebaut. Ähnlich wie LEGO Steine können die genetischen Bausteine miteinander zu neuen Kombinationen verknüpft werden. Für den iGEM Wettbewerb können die Studententeams aus der Registry of Standard Biological Parts, vergleichbar mit einer großen Kiste unterschiedlichster LEGO Steine, verschiedene BioBricks auswählen. Der Kreativität der Studenten sind dabei fast keine Grenzen gesetzt. Die Studententeams haben ein halbes Jahr Zeit, um mit Hilfe bestehender oder selbst entworfener BioBricks innovative Forschungsprojekte aus dem Themengebiet der Synthetischen Biologie umzusetzen. <br />
Die Wettbewerbsbeiträge sind ganz unterschiedlicher Natur. Während sich die einen mit Umweltfragen auseinandersetzen, bauen die anderen hochsensible Biosensoren, andere wiederum beschäftigen sich mit tiefgreifenden medizinischen Problemen. Anfang November präsentieren die einzelnen Teams ihre Ergebnisse auf dem großen Finale am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.<br />
Die [Universität] stellt erneut ein iGEM-Team. Dieses Jahr setzt es sich mit [kurze Beschreibung des eigenen Projekts].<br />
Wer mehr über das ambitionierte Projekt erfahren möchte, kann sich am 25. August 2012 zwischen [Anfangszeit] und [Endzeit] Uhr am Informationsstand am [Ort des Informationsstandes] informieren. Neben dem persönlichen Austausch, gibt es umfangreiches Informationsmaterial und [Platz für spezielle Angebote vor Ort].<br />
<br />
Der deutschlandweite iGEM Aktionstag findet in ausgewählten Städten Deutschlands statt. Die jeweiligen Teams informieren über Synthetische Biologie, iGEM und die Projekte der jeweiligen ortsansässigen Teams.<br />

We helped to organize the action day of all German iGEM teams by writing the press release for all other teams. The idea to arrange a Germany-wide action day was to address people outside the university and attract attention about iGEM and synthetic biology. Besides it was a step to have an "open-science". The people were very pleased to be informed about new approaches because they thought science is mainly behind closed doors. So we tried to change this view a bit, and hopefully it worked.<br />
'''Seven German iGEM teams participated''' in the action day and organized information booths and activities around synthetic biology.<br />

<div class="bezel mfull"><br />
[[File:TUM12_JEbner.jpg|left|250px]]<br />
====Mentioned in her Diploma thesis==== <br />
Jessica Ebner is a student at the University of Stuttgart. She contacted us at a very early stage of the project and asked us whether she could describe the iGEM competition '''using our team as an example'''. Her diploma thesis is entitled: "Engineering of Life – What is Synthetic Biology and how does it operate?"<br />
She visited us once. We explained our project to her and she received a login to our internal wiki. <br />
In her thesis she dedicated ten pages to the iGEM competition and our team.<br />
<br />
=====Abstract=====<br />
This diploma thesis aims at reflecting the cross-disciplinary field of Synthetic Biology as an<br />
emerging engineering technology. Initially this requires a concise analysis of the historical<br />
development of the term Synthetic Biology as well as the recent progresses concerning DNA<br />
synthesis and sequencing technologies. Furthermore this comprises the exemplification of<br />
the engineering based approach to Synthetic Biology. With reference to the several major<br />
categories of Synthetic Biology, this thesis theoretically analyzes the distinct areas of focus<br />
and specifies those insights with applied-oriented examples. In addition, this work describes<br />
the basic principles of the unique International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM)<br />
competition and focuses on the importance of an innovative contribution made by the iGEM<br />
team of undergraduate students from the Technical University of Munich. Eventually this<br />
thesis conducts a critical evaluation of both, the internal strengths and weaknesses of<br />
Synthetic Biology and the chances and risks which the synthetic biology community will likely<br />
to be faced with.<br />

We helped to organize the action day of all German iGEM teams by writing the press release for all other teams. The idea to arrange a Germany-wide action day was to address people outside the university and attract attention about iGEM and synthetic biology. Besides it was a step to have an "open-science". The people were very pleased to be informed about new approaches because they thought science is mainly behind closed doors. So we tried to change this view a bit, and hopefully it worked.<br />
'''Seven German iGEM teams participated''' in the action day and organized information booths and activities around synthetic biology.<br />

==Collaboration with Jessica Ebner from Stuttgart University==<br />
<hr/><br />
<div class="bezel mfull"><br />
[[File:TUM12_JEbner.jpg|left|250px]]<br />
====Mentioned in her Diploma thesis==== <br />
Jessica Ebner is a student at the University of Stuttgart. She contacted us at a very early stage of the project and asked us whether she could describe the iGEM competition '''using our team as an example'''. Her diploma thesis is entitled: "Engineering of Life – What is Synthetic Biology and how does it operate?"<br />
She visited us once. We explained our project to her and she received a login to our internal wiki. <br />
In her thesis she dedicated ten pages to the iGEM competition and our team.<br />
<br />
=====Abstract=====<br />
This diploma thesis aims at reflecting the cross-disciplinary field of Synthetic Biology as an<br />
emerging engineering technology. Initially this requires a concise analysis of the historical<br />
development of the term Synthetic Biology as well as the recent progresses concerning DNA<br />
synthesis and sequencing technologies. Furthermore this comprises the exemplification of<br />
the engineering based approach to Synthetic Biology. With reference to the several major<br />
categories of Synthetic Biology, this thesis theoretically analyzes the distinct areas of focus<br />
and specifies those insights with applied-oriented examples. In addition, this work describes<br />
the basic principles of the unique International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM)<br />
competition and focuses on the importance of an innovative contribution made by the iGEM<br />
team of undergraduate students from the Technical University of Munich. Eventually this<br />
thesis conducts a critical evaluation of both, the internal strengths and weaknesses of<br />
Synthetic Biology and the chances and risks which the synthetic biology community will likely<br />
to be faced with.<br />
<br />
=====Part from her thesis=====<br />

====Mentioned in her Diploma thesis==== <br />
Jessica Ebner is a student at the University of Stuttgart. She contacted us at a very early stage of the project and asked us whether she could describe the iGEM competition '''using our team as an example'''. Her diploma thesis is entitled: "Engineering of Life – What is Synthetic Biology and how does it operate?"<br />
She visited us once. We explained our project to her and she received a login to our internal wiki. <br />
In her thesis she dedicated ten pages to the iGEM competition and our team.<br />
<br />
=====Abstract=====<br />
This diploma thesis aims at reflecting the cross-disciplinary field of Synthetic Biology as an<br />
emerging engineering technology. Initially this requires a concise analysis of the historical<br />
development of the term Synthetic Biology as well as the recent progresses concerning DNA<br />
synthesis and sequencing technologies. Furthermore this comprises the exemplification of<br />
the engineering based approach to Synthetic Biology. With reference to the several major<br />
categories of Synthetic Biology, this thesis theoretically analyzes the distinct areas of focus<br />
and specifies those insights with applied-oriented examples. In addition, this work describes<br />
the basic principles of the unique International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM)<br />
competition and focuses on the importance of an innovative contribution made by the iGEM<br />
team of undergraduate students from the Technical University of Munich. Eventually this<br />
thesis conducts a critical evaluation of both, the internal strengths and weaknesses of<br />
Synthetic Biology and the chances and risks which the synthetic biology community will likely<br />
to be faced with.<br />

We helped to organize the action day of all German iGEM teams by writing the press release for all other teams. The idea to arrange a Germany-wide action day was to address people outside the university and attract attention about iGEM and synthetic biology. Besides it was a step to have an "open-science". The people were very pleased to be informed about new approaches because they thought science is mainly behind closed doors. So we tried to change this view a bit, and hopefully it worked.<br />
'''Seven German iGEM teams participated''' in the action day and organized information booths and activities around synthetic biology.<br />

We helped to organize the action day of all German iGEM teams by writing the press release for all other teams. The idea to arrange a Germany-wide action day was to address people outside the university and attract attention about iGEM and synthetic biology. Besides it was a step to have an "open-science". The people were very pleased to be informed about new approaches because they thought science is mainly behind closed doors. So we tried to change this view a bit, and hopefully it worked.<br />
'''Seven German iGEM teams participated''' in the action day and organized information booths and activities around synthetic biology.<br />
<br />

The LMU Munich iGEM team joined us on the Action Day. Our team organized the information booth, we organized the permission of the city of Munich, and we payed the fee for it. To get a booth in the city center of Munich is not that easy and costs a lot of time. <br />
Besides we organized all the booklets and created a handout to distribute and inform the public.<br />
The LMU iGEM team organized the tables and the movable walls so that we had a booth at all.<br />

<div class="bezel mfull"><br />
[[File:TUM12_JEbner.jpg|left|250px]]<br />
====Mentioned in her Diploma thesis==== <br />
Jessica Ebner is a student at the University of Stuttgart. She contacted us at a very early stage of the project and asked us whether she could describe the iGEM competition '''using our team as an example'''. Her diploma thesis is entitled: "Engineering of Life – What is Synthetic Biology and how does it operate?"<br />
She visited us once. We explained our project to her and she received a login to our internal wiki. <br />
In her thesis she dedicated ten pages to the iGEM competition and our team.<br />
<br />
=====Abstract=====<br />
This diploma thesis aims at reflecting the cross-disciplinary field of Synthetic Biology as an<br />
emerging engineering technology. Initially this requires a concise analysis of the historical<br />
development of the term Synthetic Biology as well as the recent progresses concerning DNA<br />
synthesis and sequencing technologies. Furthermore this comprises the exemplification of<br />
the engineering based approach to Synthetic Biology. With reference to the several major<br />
categories of Synthetic Biology, this thesis theoretically analyzes the distinct areas of focus<br />
and specifies those insights with applied-oriented examples. In addition, this work describes<br />
the basic principles of the unique International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM)<br />
competition and focuses on the importance of an innovative contribution made by the iGEM<br />
team of undergraduate students from the Technical University of Munich. Eventually this<br />
thesis conducts a critical evaluation of both, the internal strengths and weaknesses of<br />
Synthetic Biology and the chances and risks which the synthetic biology community will likely<br />
to be faced with.<br />
<br />

==Articles==<br />
<hr/><br />
===Articles about The Whole Project===<br />
'''"Laborwelt.de"''' is an online magazine which focuses on scientific issues. We cooperated with them and they gave us the opportunity to post about the progress of our project every week on their Facebook page (1000 likes). We made '''more than 12 posts''' to inform the readers about our work in the lab and other events. You can take a look at their page [https://www.facebook.com/laborwelt Laborwelt.de]. "Laborwelt" is a also a print magazine in Germany. It is published every quarterly with a run of '''20,000 copies'''. <br />
<br />
'''"Jetzt.de"''', a part of the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" (very popular newspaper in Germany), wrote an article about us and iGEM. It is the '''biggest online youth magazine''' in Germany that has more than 400,000 users monthley and 1,000,000 visitors. Here you can read the article (page 4) [http://jetzt.sueddeutsche.de/texte/anzeigen/544866/4/1#texttitel]. In this article, projects of young scientists are described. Our project is headed "The Miracle Yeast" and it tells about us and what we want to do. Besides we are '''the only iGEM Team''' mentioned in this article. <br />
<br />
'''"biotechnologie.de"''' is another popular scientific homepage in Germany. It belongs to the '''Federal Ministry of Education and Research.''' In the context of the "Action Day" of all German iGEM Teams, a detailed article was published about iGEM and every German iGEM Team [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=153818.html].<br />
<br />
Last but not least our project was presented on the homepage of the '''Technical University of Munich''' [http://portal.mytum.de/ccc/newsletter/studierende/2012_03/02/]. Besides the article was also added to the newsletter which was sent to all students of the university. The pictures of us with traditionally Bavarian clothing were made by a professional photographer of the TU Munich.<br />
<br />
===Articles after The Europeen Jamboree===<br />
[http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=154774.html?listBlId=74462 Biotechnologie.de] presented an article about the German teams which advanced to Boston directly after the Jamboree.<br/><br />
One of our Teammembers was interviewed and quoted in the article. Besides, the projects of the five German teams were described and explained. <br/><br />
At the 23rd of October we had a visitor from the [http://www.dradio.de/dlf/ Deutschlandfunk]. He made an interview with us for the radio station which will be aired during the jamboree. Four of team members reported on the project our human practice events and showed our brewing experiment.<br/><br />
Furthermore the [http://www.sueddeutsche.de/ Sueddeutsche] visited us in the lab at October 24th and asked us some questions about the project. The article will be online as soon as possible. <br/><br />
Last but not least [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/Service/Videos/biotechnologie-tv-gesamt.html biotechnologie.tv] interviewed on of our members via Skype for almost one hour. This interview is now in the postproduction and will be online at the 5th of November. Biotechnologie.tv belongs to biotechnologie.de and therefore is an initiative of the federal ministry of education and research.<br/><br />
It was overwhelming how big our outreach was after the European jamboree. We were prod that we could help to explain SynBio in a way that the public understands it and therefore help to increase the acceptance of genetic engineering in Germany.<br />
<br />
===Articles about The Panel Discussion===<br />
This article published on September 20th, 2012, gives a '''short summary about our panel discussion''' [http://www.merkur-online.de/lokales/freising/widerstand-gegen-gruene-gentechnik-waechst-weiter-2510648.html]. It states that the green biotechnology is controversial, but the red biotechnology is rather accepted in Germany. Yet it also mentions that there were many supporters of green biotechnology at the discussion and that most of the invited guests supported it, too. In general, the whole event was '''really informative and enjoyable.'''<br />
One of the participants of our panel discussion, Peter Warlimont (SPD), wrote about his impressions of the evening [http://www.peter-warlimont.de/index.php?nr=46952&menu=1]. He is still rather skeptical about green biotechnology, but honors the enthusiasm of the students and scientists.<br />
</div><br />
<br />

<hr/><br />
<div class="mfull bezel"><br />
Most of our publicity was done in the Internet, mainly on Facebook. The outreach of this social network is larger than any other. That is why we used it for contacting the populace. During our main working time in August, '''over 9000 people were reached''' by our posts. Besides, our homepage was an important information source and other iGEM teams followed us mainly on twitter. A blog completed our "Public Relation" work. We had around 1000 page views in 4 months. <br />
All in all it is to say that we were '''present on a broad range of social media''' to have a big outreach. <br />
==Facebook==<br />
'''100''' people liked our [https://www.facebook.com/pages/iGEM-TU-M%C3%BCnchen/149746078408629 Facebook page],this is an increase of ten people, because before the Jamboree we only had 88 likes. During one week (20th to 26th August) we reached 9046 people with our account. After the Europeen Jamboree we had a big increase in visitors. In the picture below you can see the statistics of our Facebook page. The blue line represents the number of people we reached, the green one the number of people who talked about us and the purple line stands for the number of our posts. <br />
The number of friends of fans is '''23524'''. These are the people who could see our posts when they open up their facebook profile.''' 10''' is the number of people who talked about us, and '''412''' is the reachout of the last week.<br />
We are sorry that it was not possible to create this statistics page in English. <br />
<br />
[[File:TUM-Facebook_statistics.png|center]]<br />
[[File:TUM-Facebook_age.png|center]]<br />
<br />
In the picture above you can see that our "outreach" is divided according to gender and age. We reached more men (down) than women (top) and people between 18 and 34 years were mostly reached.<br />
<br />
==Blog==<br />
This is our blog [http://tum-igem2012.blog.de/]. Overall we had '''588''' visitors from May 2012 to September 2012 and '''1282''' page views in general. This shows that our visitors wanted to be kept up-to-date and read our blog regularly. We honored this by writing a '''comment at least once a week'''.<br />
<br />
==Report on Our Panel Discussion==<br />
Many weeks before the panel discussion we did a lot of advertisement for this event. That is why articles were published on the homepage of the TUM [http://www.wzw.tum.de/index.phpid=189&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=418&cHash=966e4554a85d97bee8ae1d7d5c0c3d9] <br />
[http://www.wzw.tum.de/fachschaften/biowiss/home/]. In addition external pages such as the Munich Biotechcluster posted invitations to our event [http://www.m4.de/der-cluster/datenbanken/termindatenbank/details/8490.html?tx_biomdatabaseconnection_calendarevent%5Bis_search%5D=]. On their website a comprehensive overview of the Munich Biotechnology community can be found.<br />
The same article was posted on the website of the LMU because they worked together with us on the action day [http://www.uni-muenchen.de/aktuelles/news/2012/aktionstag_igem.html].<br />
Of course we also posted an event on Facebook to invite people [https://www.facebook.com/events/180510918750781/].<br />
<br />
This is the official invitation: <br />
<br />
[[File:TUM12_panel_discussion_invitation.jpg|center|750px]]<br />
<br />
==Homepage==<br />
Our homepage informs about '''all aspects of our project''' [http://www.igem2012.de/]. Moreover, there are also the links to our information "channels" and the outline of the project and general information about iGEM is shown. Of course our sponsors are listed there, too. <br />
And last but not least, you can find many interesting links, for example a very good article about iGEM in a German magazine.<br />
<br />
[[File:TUM-Homepage.jpg|700px|center|Headline of our website]]<br />
<br />
==Twitter==<br />
<br />
Being consequent and choosing mainly online media for our representation, we also used a [https://twitter.com/iGEM_TUM| twitter account].<br />
All in all we have 111 followers. <br />
Besides, we tried to really stay updated here and had 119 tweets during our project.<br />
<br><br />
We followed mainly the other iGEM Teams to stay updated about their progress. So we are informed about what they are doing and if they need any help or if we can join them by a human practice event.<br />
Moreover, it was a way of communication between the teams and of course sometimes inspiration.<br />

==Report on Our Panel Discussion==<br />
Many weeks before the panel discussion we did a lot of advertisement for this event. That is why articles were published on the homepage of the TUM [http://www.wzw.tum.de/index.phpid=189&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=418&cHash=966e4554a85d97bee8ae1d7d5c0c3d9] <br />
[http://www.wzw.tum.de/fachschaften/biowiss/home/]. In addition external pages such as the Munich Biotechcluster posted invitations to our event [http://www.m4.de/der-cluster/datenbanken/termindatenbank/details/8490.html?tx_biomdatabaseconnection_calendarevent%5Bis_search%5D=]. On their website a comprehensive overview of the Munich Biotechnology community can be found.<br />
The same article was posted on the website of the LMU because they worked together with us on the action day [http://www.uni-muenchen.de/aktuelles/news/2012/aktionstag_igem.html].<br />
Of course we also posted an event on Facebook to invite people [https://www.facebook.com/events/180510918750781/].<br />
<br />
This is the official invitation: <br />

==Homepage==<br />
Our homepage informs about '''all aspects of our project''' [http://www.igem2012.de/]. Moreover, there are also the links to our information "channels" and the outline of the project and general information about iGEM is shown. Of course our sponsors are listed there, too. <br />
And last but not least, you can find many interesting links, for example a very good article about iGEM in a German magazine.<br />
<br />
[[File:TUM-Homepage.jpg|700px|center|Headline of our website]]<br />
<br />
==Twitter==<br />
<br />
Being consequent and choosing mainly online media for our representation, we also used a [https://twitter.com/iGEM_TUM| twitter account].<br />
All in all we have 109 followers. <br />
Besides, we tried to really stay updated here and had 119 tweets during our project.<br />
<br><br />
We followed mainly the other iGEM Teams to stay updated about their progress. So we are informed about what they are doing and if they need any help or if we can join them by a human practice event.<br />
Moreover, it was a way of communication between the teams and of course sometimes inspiration.<br />

= Survey =<br />
<hr/><br />
===Background===<br />
The survey was carried out by the [http://portal.mytum.de/jungeakademie/index_html/document_view?/ TUM young academy], which planned to install a [http://www.genial-info.de/ website] to inform the public about genetic engineering. They made an '''online questionnaire''' and stood in Munich for one day, with a print out version.<br />
All in all''' 1183''' people participated, 979 online and 204 on the street, thereof 597 were male and 570 female. The problem is that, in this survey, the group of the age from 15-24 is drastically over represented with 70%, the reason could be that through the university project more students were reached.<br />
<br/><br />
This team allowed us to use their data for our project as well. As they had 33 questions, we chose the ones directly relied to genetic engineering, the ones dealing with the webpage they wanted to create we left out.<br />
<br />
===Basic Data===<br />
*Participants: 1183<br />
*Online participants: 979<br />
*Street participants: 204<br />
*Male: 597 <br />
*Female: 570<br />
*Age: mainly between 15-24 (70%)<br />
<br />
===Questions===<br />
====Evaluated questions====<br />
*How do you feel about genetic engineering in general?<br />
*How good do you think is your knowledge about genetic engineering?<br />
*Are you concerned about genetically modified food?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in medicine?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in farming?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in food?<br />

<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br />
<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
In contrary to our first impression, about half of the questioned people said that they have a "normal" or better amount of knowledge. In our former human practice events we often realized that the discussions are rather emotional than scientific. This difference could arise from the mostly younger people who participated. Because in Germany genetic engineering started to play a bigger role in schools and in the media, although as mentioned below, the media is not always neutral.<br />
The overall impression of genetically modified organisms is not that bad, but it needs to be differentiated where genetic engineering is used. Most people agree that it is appropriate to use it in medicine.<br />
<br/><br />
In contrast 633 people (food) and 573 people (farming) of 1183 participants did not accept genetic engineering in food and agriculture. As already mentioned on our [https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/Overview overview page] people do not accept GMOs in their food. In Germany great skepticism persists.<br />
The fact that people (533) would not eat genetically modified apples even if they would taste similar, shows the low acceptance as well. If genetic engineering would be used for production of healthier aliment, the renunciation decreases. <br />
<br/><br/><br />
The advantages of green biotechnology are not present in people's minds and many people think that they are not informed impartial. This leads to a negative point of view and therefore neutral reporting is essential.<br />
<br />
All in all red biotechnology is widely accepted in Germany whereas green biotechnology is discussed controversial. Additionally some Germans think that media does not report objective about GMOs. Furthermore people wish that genetic engineering plays a bigger role in politics.</div>Nadine1990http://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/SurveyTeam:TU Munich/Human Practice/Survey2012-10-26T17:18:03Z<p>Nadine1990: /* Answers */</p>

==iGEM Germany Action Day for Synthetic Biology==<br />
<hr/><br />
<div class="bezel mfull"><br />
<div style="text-align:justify;"><br />
<br />
====Background Information==== <br />
[[File:IGEM-Germany-logo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Fig. 1: German iGEM logo''']]<br />
At a conference in Berlin organized by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research all German iGEM Teams decided to take part in a '''Germany-wide''' "Action Day" on August 25th. The idea was to attract attention to iGEM and synthetic biology in Germany. '''The iGEM teams worked together''' to put this idea into practice. We wrote a [https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/Information_Day#Press_release_in_English press release] for all teams that was published in several newspapers all over the country. <br />
<br />
Each iGEM Team organized a kind of "SynBio Action" in its hometown on August 25th. We had an '''information booth''' in the city of Munich that we shared with the '''other Munich iGEM team (LMU)'''. During the day, we informed people about synthetic biology, iGEM and our project. Although many people in Germany are critical about genetic engineering, they were '''really interested in iGEM''' and our project, mainly because it deals with beer. Yet many people argued that they do not support genetically modified food. They are afraid of eating it because they do not know if it interferes with their body functions. <br />
<br />
However, we '''organized a poster, information materials and handouts''' to explain the basics of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. Almost everybody liked the idea of iGEM and that we are so ambitious to take part in it. Especially the '''transparency''' of this competition and the '''concept of standardization via BioBricks was favored.'''<br />
<br />
====What We Did==== <br />
To inform the people about synthetic biology we distributed '''two booklets''' of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. One was entitled '''"Hier steckt Biotechnologie drin"''' (There's biotechnology inside), the other one "Weiße Biotechnologie" (white biotechnology). Besides, we prepared [https://2012.igem.org/File:Informationbooklet.pdf information material] to present iGEM and the two projects of the Munich iGEM teams. Last but not least SCNAT (Swiss Academy of Science) provided us a comic about synthetic biology that we distributed. <br />
To get the children interested in scientific topics and to explain them the principles of standardized parts, we provided them '''Lego bricks''' at our booth and they build creative constructs. Moreover, many children took part in our painting competition. The challenge was to paint an animal that possesses at least one feature of another animal. <br />
<br />
[[File:TUM-legobrick.jpg|350px|thumb|left|'''Fig. 2: Lego Brick for the kids''']]<br />
<br />
====Conclusion====<br />
In total the Germany-wide "Action Day" was '''really successful'''. We addressed a lot of people and informed them about the ideas and opportunities of synthetic biology. Especially our project attracted much interest because everybody in Germany (and mainly in Bavaria) likes beer and consequently the idea to modify it using "super yeast". It is a topic everybody can talk about and thus it is easy to communicate the keynotes of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. <br />
The children often '''painted or built constructs with Lego bricks''' while their '''parents talked with us about iGEM and our project.''' Many people were attracted by our poster and stopped to read it. We are really happy that we addressed so many people and that we communicated them the principles of iGEM and BioBricks.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br> <br />
<br />
All in all it was a lot of fun for us and the pedestrians - have a look at the pictures and see for yourself!<br />

===Children Painting Contest Illustrating Synthetic Biology===<br />
[[File:TUM-TicketsZoo.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''Fig. 3: The tickets for Munich Zoo''']]<br />
The painting competition was a descriptive way to explain children the principles of synthetic biology. By transferring a feature of one animal to another you can '''create a completely new organism'''. All in all this is the idea of synthetic biology. We also explained the children that we do this in our project as well. Yet we do not work with big animals but with smaller organisms. Finally, we are able to transfer features of plants to yeast. Besides, we explained the principles of iGEM using Lego Bricks and the children built interesting constructs on their own.<br />
The children who participated in our competition won tickets to the zoo in Munich ("Tierpark Hellabrunn"). They painted really nice pictures as you can see below.<br />
We learned from the kids that there are actually no boarders for imagination and that the statement "thinking outside the box" was here more present than anywhere else. They talked to us and were so enthusiastic about SynBio, because for them it is a tool to change the world. Showing us their view of the world and as a consequence make things very simple had a huge impact on us. <br />

===Press Release in English===<br />
This press release is the neutral version which was sent to all iGEM Teams. <br />
<br />
'''What Lego Bricks and Biology have in common'''<br />
<br />
<br />
On the 25th of August the German iGEM Teams held a Germany-wide action day. In [City] students of the [University] informed about Synthetic Biology and the iGEM competition. Students of the [University] participate this year, like the last years too, in iGEM. iGEM is the abbreviation for "international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. This international competition in the field of Synthetic Biology is held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, since 2003. Within the years iGEM got one of the most famous competitions in the steadily growing field of SynBio. In the last year 160 student teams from all over the world participated.<br />
Synthetic Biology is an interdisciplinary field of study, combining molecular biology, chemistry, engineering, biotechnology and IT.<br />
<br />
The aim is to create new biological systems which can be transferred in organisms and grant them certain characteristics and features that don't exist naturally. These systems are created in a modular way what is the gist of SynBio and iGEM. These biological systems are designed by single gene parts, called BioBricks. Similar to Lego bricks these Biobricks can be combined in different and new ways. For the completion the teams can use BioBricks from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, comparable to a box of different Lego Bricks. There is no limit, anything is possible.<br />
<br />
The teams have half a year to realize their project, either using existing BioBricks or creating new ones. The projects vary a lot, one team faces environmental problems, others build very sensitive biosensors and another team deals with medical problems. <br />
In the beginning of November the teams present their projects and the results at the “final” at the MIT to the other teams. <br />
<br />
The [university] has this year again an iGEM Team. It is dealing with [short description]. If you want to know more about the project come on the 25th of August between [time] and [time] to the information booth at [place]. <br />
The action day takes part in several German cities, the team inform about iGEM, Synthetic Biology and their project<br />

===Press Release in German===<br />
<div class="bezel mfull"><br />
This is the press release which was used by all German iGEM Teams participating in the Action Day<br />
<br />
<br />
Was LEGO Steine mit Biologie zu tun haben<br />
<br />
Am 25.08.2012 laden die deutschen iGEM-Teams zum deutschlandweiten Aktionstag. In [Ort] informieren Studenten der [Universität] über Synthetische Biologie und den iGEM Wettbewerb.<br />
Wie in den vergangenen Jahren nehmen Studenten der [Universität] auch in diesem Jahr wieder an iGEM teil. iGEM steht für „international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. Dieser internationale Wettbewerb im Bereich der Synthetischen Biologie wird seit 2003 jährlich am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge (USA) ausgetragen. Über die Jahre hat sich iGEM zu einem der bedeutendsten internationalen Ereignisse auf dem rasch wachsenden Feld der Synthetischen Biologie entwickelt. Allein im letzten Jahr nahmen über 160 Studententeams aus der ganzen Welt an iGEM teil.<br />
Die Synthetische Biologie ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsgebiet, in dem die Fachbereiche Molekularbiologie, Chemie, Ingenieurwissenschaften, Biotechnologie und Informationstechnik verschmelzen. Ziel der Forschung ist die Entwicklung neuer, in der Natur nicht vorkommender, biologischer Systeme, die bestimmte Eigenschaften und Funktionen besitzen. Werden diese biologischen Systeme in einen Organismus eingebaut, verleihen sie ihm die gewünschten Eigenschaften. <br />
Der modulare Aufbau der neuen biologischen Systeme ist das Kernstück der Synthetischen Biologie und des iGEM Wettbewerbs. Die biologischen Systeme werden aus einzelnen genetischen Bausteinen, den sogenannten BioBricks. aufgebaut. Ähnlich wie LEGO Steine können die genetischen Bausteine miteinander zu neuen Kombinationen verknüpft werden. Für den iGEM Wettbewerb können die Studententeams aus der Registry of Standard Biological Parts, vergleichbar mit einer großen Kiste unterschiedlichster LEGO Steine, verschiedene BioBricks auswählen. Der Kreativität der Studenten sind dabei fast keine Grenzen gesetzt. Die Studententeams haben ein halbes Jahr Zeit, um mit Hilfe bestehender oder selbst entworfener BioBricks innovative Forschungsprojekte aus dem Themengebiet der Synthetischen Biologie umzusetzen. <br />
Die Wettbewerbsbeiträge sind ganz unterschiedlicher Natur. Während sich die einen mit Umweltfragen auseinandersetzen, bauen die anderen hochsensible Biosensoren, andere wiederum beschäftigen sich mit tiefgreifenden medizinischen Problemen. Anfang November präsentieren die einzelnen Teams ihre Ergebnisse auf dem großen Finale am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.<br />
Die [Universität] stellt erneut ein iGEM-Team. Dieses Jahr setzt es sich mit [kurze Beschreibung des eigenen Projekts].<br />
Wer mehr über das ambitionierte Projekt erfahren möchte, kann sich am 25. August 2012 zwischen [Anfangszeit] und [Endzeit] Uhr am Informationsstand am [Ort des Informationsstandes] informieren. Neben dem persönlichen Austausch, gibt es umfangreiches Informationsmaterial und [Platz für spezielle Angebote vor Ort].<br />
<br />
Der deutschlandweite iGEM Aktionstag findet in ausgewählten Städten Deutschlands statt. Die jeweiligen Teams informieren über Synthetische Biologie, iGEM und die Projekte der jeweiligen ortsansässigen Teams.<br />

One was entitled '''"Hier steckt Biotechnologie drin"''' (There's biotechnology inside), the other one "Weiße Biotechnologie" (white biotechnology). Besides, we prepared [https://2012.igem.org/File:Informationbooklet.pdf information material] to present iGEM and the two projects of the Munich iGEM teams. Last but not least SCNAT (Swiss Academy of Science) provided us a comic about synthetic biology that we distributed. <br />
To get the children interested in scientific topics and to explain them the principles of standardized parts, we provided them '''Lego bricks''' at our booth and they build creative constructs. Moreover, many children took part in our painting competition. The challenge was to paint an animal that possesses at least one feature of another animal. <br />
<br />

<br />
====Conclusion====<br />
In total the Germany-wide "Action Day" was '''really successful'''. We addressed a lot of people and informed them about the ideas and opportunities of synthetic biology. Especially our project attracted much interest because everybody in Germany (and mainly in Bavaria) likes beer and consequently the idea to modify it using "super yeast". It is a topic everybody can talk about and thus it is easy to communicate the keynotes of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. <br />
The children often '''painted or built constructs with Lego bricks''' while their '''parents talked with us about iGEM and our project.''' Many people were attracted by our poster and stopped to read it. We are really happy that we addressed so many people and that we communicated them the principles of iGEM and BioBricks.<br />

All in all it was a lot of fun for us and the pedestrians - have a look at the pictures and see for yourself!<br />

===Children Painting Contest Illustrating Synthetic Biology===<br />
[[File:TUM-TicketsZoo.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''Fig. 3: The tickets for Munich Zoo''']]<br />
The painting competition was a descriptive way to explain children the principles of synthetic biology. By transferring a feature of one animal to another you can '''create a completely new organism'''. All in all this is the idea of synthetic biology. We also explained the children that we do this in our project as well. Yet we do not work with big animals but with smaller organisms. Finally, we are able to transfer features of plants to yeast. Besides, we explained the principles of iGEM using Lego Bricks and the children built interesting constructs on their own.<br />
The children who participated in our competition won tickets to the zoo in Munich ("Tierpark Hellabrunn"). They painted really nice pictures as you can see below.<br />
We learned from the kids that there are actually no boarders for imagination and that the statement "thinking outside the box" was here more present than anywhere else. They talked to us and were so enthusiastic about SynBio, because for them it is a tool to change the world. Showing us their view of the world and as a consequence make things very simple had a huge impact on us. <br />

'''What Lego Bricks and Biology have in common'''<br />
<br />
<br />
On the 25th of August the German iGEM Teams held a Germany-wide action day. In [City] students of the [University] informed about Synthetic Biology and the iGEM competition. Students of the [University] participate this year, like the last years too, in iGEM. iGEM is the abbreviation for "international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. This international competition in the field of Synthetic Biology is held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, since 2003. Within the years iGEM got one of the most famous competitions in the steadily growing field of SynBio. In the last year 160 student teams from all over the world participated.<br />
Synthetic Biology is an interdisciplinary field of study, combining molecular biology, chemistry, engineering, biotechnology and IT.<br />
<br />
The aim is to create new biological systems which can be transferred in organisms and grant them certain characteristics and features that don't exist naturally. These systems are created in a modular way what is the gist of SynBio and iGEM. These biological systems are designed by single gene parts, called BioBricks. Similar to Lego bricks these Biobricks can be combined in different and new ways. For the completion the teams can use BioBricks from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, comparable to a box of different Lego Bricks. There is no limit, anything is possible.<br />
<br />
The teams have half a year to realize their project, either using existing BioBricks or creating new ones. The projects vary a lot, one team faces environmental problems, others build very sensitive biosensors and another team deals with medical problems. <br />
In the beginning of November the teams present their projects and the results at the “final” at the MIT to the other teams. <br />
<br />
The [university] has this year again an iGEM Team. It is dealing with [short description]. If you want to know more about the project come on the 25th of August between [time] and [time] to the information booth at [place]. <br />

Was LEGO Steine mit Biologie zu tun haben<br />
<br />
Am 25.08.2012 laden die deutschen iGEM-Teams zum deutschlandweiten Aktionstag. In [Ort] informieren Studenten der [Universität] über Synthetische Biologie und den iGEM Wettbewerb.<br />
Wie in den vergangenen Jahren nehmen Studenten der [Universität] auch in diesem Jahr wieder an iGEM teil. iGEM steht für „international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. Dieser internationale Wettbewerb im Bereich der Synthetischen Biologie wird seit 2003 jährlich am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge (USA) ausgetragen. Über die Jahre hat sich iGEM zu einem der bedeutendsten internationalen Ereignisse auf dem rasch wachsenden Feld der Synthetischen Biologie entwickelt. Allein im letzten Jahr nahmen über 160 Studententeams aus der ganzen Welt an iGEM teil.<br />
Die Synthetische Biologie ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsgebiet, in dem die Fachbereiche Molekularbiologie, Chemie, Ingenieurwissenschaften, Biotechnologie und Informationstechnik verschmelzen. Ziel der Forschung ist die Entwicklung neuer, in der Natur nicht vorkommender, biologischer Systeme, die bestimmte Eigenschaften und Funktionen besitzen. Werden diese biologischen Systeme in einen Organismus eingebaut, verleihen sie ihm die gewünschten Eigenschaften. <br />
Der modulare Aufbau der neuen biologischen Systeme ist das Kernstück der Synthetischen Biologie und des iGEM Wettbewerbs. Die biologischen Systeme werden aus einzelnen genetischen Bausteinen, den sogenannten BioBricks. aufgebaut. Ähnlich wie LEGO Steine können die genetischen Bausteine miteinander zu neuen Kombinationen verknüpft werden. Für den iGEM Wettbewerb können die Studententeams aus der Registry of Standard Biological Parts, vergleichbar mit einer großen Kiste unterschiedlichster LEGO Steine, verschiedene BioBricks auswählen. Der Kreativität der Studenten sind dabei fast keine Grenzen gesetzt. Die Studententeams haben ein halbes Jahr Zeit, um mit Hilfe bestehender oder selbst entworfener BioBricks innovative Forschungsprojekte aus dem Themengebiet der Synthetischen Biologie umzusetzen. <br />
Die Wettbewerbsbeiträge sind ganz unterschiedlicher Natur. Während sich die einen mit Umweltfragen auseinandersetzen, bauen die anderen hochsensible Biosensoren, andere wiederum beschäftigen sich mit tiefgreifenden medizinischen Problemen. Anfang November präsentieren die einzelnen Teams ihre Ergebnisse auf dem großen Finale am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.<br />
Die [Universität] stellt erneut ein iGEM-Team. Dieses Jahr setzt es sich mit [kurze Beschreibung des eigenen Projekts].<br />
Wer mehr über das ambitionierte Projekt erfahren möchte, kann sich am 25. August 2012 zwischen [Anfangszeit] und [Endzeit] Uhr am Informationsstand am [Ort des Informationsstandes] informieren. Neben dem persönlichen Austausch, gibt es umfangreiches Informationsmaterial und [Platz für spezielle Angebote vor Ort].<br />
<br />
Der deutschlandweite iGEM Aktionstag findet in ausgewählten Städten Deutschlands statt. Die jeweiligen Teams informieren über Synthetische Biologie, iGEM und die Projekte der jeweiligen ortsansässigen Teams.<br />

====Background Information==== <br />
[[File:IGEM-Germany-logo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Fig. 1: German iGEM logo''']]<br />
At a conference in Berlin organized by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research all German iGEM Teams decided to take part in a '''Germany-wide''' "Action Day" on August 25th. The idea was to attract attention to iGEM and synthetic biology in Germany. '''The iGEM teams worked together''' to put this idea into practice. We wrote a [https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/Information_Day#Press_release_in_English press release] for all teams that was published in several newspapers all over the country. <br />
<br />
Each iGEM Team organized a kind of "SynBio Action" in its hometown on August 25th. We had an '''information booth''' in the city of Munich that we shared with the '''other Munich iGEM team (LMU)'''. During the day, we informed people about synthetic biology, iGEM and our project. Although many people in Germany are critical about genetic engineering, they were '''really interested in iGEM''' and our project, mainly because it deals with beer. Yet many people argued that they do not support genetically modified food. They are afraid of eating it because they do not know if it interferes with their body functions. <br />
<br />
However, we '''organized a poster, information materials and handouts''' to explain the basics of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. Almost everybody liked the idea of iGEM and that we are so ambitious to take part in it. Especially the '''transparency''' of this competition and the '''concept of standardization via BioBricks was favored.'''<br />
<br />

The painting competition was a descriptive way to explain children the principles of synthetic biology. By transferring a feature of one animal to another you can '''create a completely new organism'''. All in all this is the idea of synthetic biology. We also explained the children that we do this in our project as well. Yet we do not work with big animals but with smaller organisms. Finally, we are able to transfer features of plants to yeast. Besides, we explained the principles of iGEM using Lego Bricks and the children built interesting constructs on their own.<br />
The children who participated in our competition won tickets to the zoo in Munich ("Tierpark Hellabrunn"). They painted really nice pictures as you can see below.<br />
We learned from the kids that there are actually no boarders for imagination and that the statement "thinking outside the box" was here more present than anywhere else. They talked to us and were so enthusiastic about SynBio, because for them it is a tool to change the world. Showing us their view of the world and as a consequence make things very simple had a huge impact on us. <br />

'''What Lego Bricks and Biology have in common'''<br />
<br />
<br />
On the 25th of August the German iGEM Teams held a Germany-wide action day. In [City] students of the [University] informed about Synthetic Biology and the iGEM competition. Students of the [University] participate this year, like the last years too, in iGEM. iGEM is the abbreviation for "international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. This international competition in the field of Synthetic Biology is held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, since 2003. Within the years iGEM got one of the most famous competitions in the steadily growing field of SynBio. In the last year 160 student teams from all over the world participated.<br />
Synthetic Biology is an interdisciplinary field of study, combining molecular biology, chemistry, engineering, biotechnology and IT.<br />
<br />
The aim is to create new biological systems which can be transferred in organisms and grant them certain characteristics and features that don't exist naturally. These systems are created in a modular way what is the gist of SynBio and iGEM. These biological systems are designed by single gene parts, called BioBricks. Similar to Lego bricks these Biobricks can be combined in different and new ways. For the completion the teams can use BioBricks from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, comparable to a box of different Lego Bricks. There is no limit, anything is possible.<br />
<br />
The teams have half a year to realize their project, either using existing BioBricks or creating new ones. The projects vary a lot, one team faces environmental problems, others build very sensitive biosensors and another team deals with medical problems. <br />
In the beginning of November the teams present their projects and the results at the “final” at the MIT to the other teams. <br />
<br />
The [university] has this year again an iGEM Team. It is dealing with [short description]. If you want to know more about the project come on the 25th of August between [time] and [time] to the information booth at [place]. <br />

Was LEGO Steine mit Biologie zu tun haben<br />
<br />
Am 25.08.2012 laden die deutschen iGEM-Teams zum deutschlandweiten Aktionstag. In [Ort] informieren Studenten der [Universität] über Synthetische Biologie und den iGEM Wettbewerb.<br />
Wie in den vergangenen Jahren nehmen Studenten der [Universität] auch in diesem Jahr wieder an iGEM teil. iGEM steht für „international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. Dieser internationale Wettbewerb im Bereich der Synthetischen Biologie wird seit 2003 jährlich am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge (USA) ausgetragen. Über die Jahre hat sich iGEM zu einem der bedeutendsten internationalen Ereignisse auf dem rasch wachsenden Feld der Synthetischen Biologie entwickelt. Allein im letzten Jahr nahmen über 160 Studententeams aus der ganzen Welt an iGEM teil.<br />
Die Synthetische Biologie ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsgebiet, in dem die Fachbereiche Molekularbiologie, Chemie, Ingenieurwissenschaften, Biotechnologie und Informationstechnik verschmelzen. Ziel der Forschung ist die Entwicklung neuer, in der Natur nicht vorkommender, biologischer Systeme, die bestimmte Eigenschaften und Funktionen besitzen. Werden diese biologischen Systeme in einen Organismus eingebaut, verleihen sie ihm die gewünschten Eigenschaften. <br />
Der modulare Aufbau der neuen biologischen Systeme ist das Kernstück der Synthetischen Biologie und des iGEM Wettbewerbs. Die biologischen Systeme werden aus einzelnen genetischen Bausteinen, den sogenannten BioBricks. aufgebaut. Ähnlich wie LEGO Steine können die genetischen Bausteine miteinander zu neuen Kombinationen verknüpft werden. Für den iGEM Wettbewerb können die Studententeams aus der Registry of Standard Biological Parts, vergleichbar mit einer großen Kiste unterschiedlichster LEGO Steine, verschiedene BioBricks auswählen. Der Kreativität der Studenten sind dabei fast keine Grenzen gesetzt. Die Studententeams haben ein halbes Jahr Zeit, um mit Hilfe bestehender oder selbst entworfener BioBricks innovative Forschungsprojekte aus dem Themengebiet der Synthetischen Biologie umzusetzen. <br />
Die Wettbewerbsbeiträge sind ganz unterschiedlicher Natur. Während sich die einen mit Umweltfragen auseinandersetzen, bauen die anderen hochsensible Biosensoren, andere wiederum beschäftigen sich mit tiefgreifenden medizinischen Problemen. Anfang November präsentieren die einzelnen Teams ihre Ergebnisse auf dem großen Finale am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.<br />
Die [Universität] stellt erneut ein iGEM-Team. Dieses Jahr setzt es sich mit [kurze Beschreibung des eigenen Projekts].<br />
Wer mehr über das ambitionierte Projekt erfahren möchte, kann sich am 25. August 2012 zwischen [Anfangszeit] und [Endzeit] Uhr am Informationsstand am [Ort des Informationsstandes] informieren. Neben dem persönlichen Austausch, gibt es umfangreiches Informationsmaterial und [Platz für spezielle Angebote vor Ort].<br />

==iGEM Germany Action Day for Synthetic Biology==<br />
<hr/><br />
<div class="bezel mfull"><br />
<div style="text-align:justify;"><br />
<br />
====Background Information==== <br />
[[File:IGEM-Germany-logo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Fig. 1: German iGEM logo''']]<br />
At a conference in Berlin organized by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research all German iGEM Teams decided to take part in a '''Germany-wide''' "Action Day" on August 25th. The idea was to attract attention to iGEM and synthetic biology in Germany. '''The iGEM teams worked together''' to put this idea into practice. We wrote a [https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/Information_Day#Press_release_in_English press release] for all teams that was published in several newspapers all over the country. <br />
<br />
Each iGEM Team organized a kind of "SynBio Action" in its hometown on August 25th. We had an '''information booth''' in the city of Munich that we shared with the '''other Munich iGEM team (LMU)'''. During the day, we informed people about synthetic biology, iGEM and our project. Although many people in Germany are critical about genetic engineering, they were '''really interested in iGEM''' and our project, mainly because it deals with beer. Yet many people argued that they do not support genetically modified food. They are afraid of eating it because they do not know if it interferes with their body functions. <br />
<br />
However, we '''organized a poster, information materials and handouts''' to explain the basics of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. Almost everybody liked the idea of iGEM and that we are so ambitious to take part in it. Especially the '''transparency''' of this competition and the '''concept of standardization via BioBricks was favored.'''<br />
<br />
====What We Did==== <br />
To inform the people about synthetic biology we distributed '''two booklets''' of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. One was entitled '''"Hier steckt Biotechnologie drin"''' (There's biotechnology inside), the other one "Weiße Biotechnologie" (white biotechnology). Besides, we prepared [https://2012.igem.org/File:Informationbooklet.pdf information material] to present iGEM and the two projects of the Munich iGEM teams. Last but not least SCNAT (Swiss Academy of Science) provided us a comic about synthetic biology that we distributed. <br />
To get the children interested in scientific topics and to explain them the principles of standardized parts, we provided them '''Lego bricks''' at our booth and they build creative constructs. Moreover, many children took part in our painting competition. The challenge was to paint an animal that possesses at least one feature of another animal. <br />
<br />
[[File:TUM-legobrick.jpg|350px|thumb|left|'''Fig. 2: Lego Brick for the kids''']]<br />
<br />
====Conclusion====<br />
In total the Germany-wide "Action Day" was '''really successful'''. We addressed a lot of people and informed them about the ideas and opportunities of synthetic biology. Especially our project attracted much interest because everybody in Germany (and mainly in Bavaria) likes beer and consequently the idea to modify it using "super yeast". It is a topic everybody can talk about and thus it is easy to communicate the keynotes of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. <br />
The children often '''painted or built constructs with Lego bricks''' while their '''parents talked with us about iGEM and our project.''' Many people were attracted by our poster and stopped to read it. We are really happy that we addressed so many people and that we communicated them the principles of iGEM and BioBricks.<br />

All in all it was a lot of fun for us and the pedestrians - have a look at the pictures and see for yourself!<br />

====Article Written by A Pupil of The School Magazine==== <br />
<br />
<br />
On July 24th, 2012, two students of the iGEM (international Genetically Engineered Machine competition)-Team of the TU Munich visited us. We attended an interesting presentation about this competition which takes place in Boston since 2003 and they explained us that their research goal is to manipulate the DNA in such a way that the cells get other characteristics. The project of the team is to manipulate yeast (''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'') to produce useful ingredients naturally on his own. As we all know, yeast is normally used for baking and brewing beer. Their goal is to transform normal yeast into "superyeast". Therefore, herbal enzymes in the form of external DNA will be inserted in the yeast. But buying a beer brewed with "superyeast" in a supermarket is very unlikely. Anyway we produced with the students of the TUM our own chemical beer, which one should '''not''' drink.<br />
<br />
They also explained us that iGEM does not only include the work in the laboratory but also the so called “Human Practice”. “Human Practice” means anything that is done in the context of the project '''outside the lab'''. Finally their visit was part of their "Human Practice" program.<br />
<br />
The first experiment they made with us was DNA-extraction from plants. This meant that we squished a banana to destroy the cells. Then we mixed it with salt and dish liquid to destroy the membrane of the cell, and added isopropyl alcohol at the end. After a while we could see the DNA. <br />
Afterwards we did another experiment: a gel electrophoresis. That is a common method to detect DNA. We poured the gel for the electrophoresis. This cannot be done in school in this way because we do not have the right equipment for it. For the gel electrophoresis we used a completed gel, that was made by another class. <br />
<br />
[[File:TUM_Schoolmagazine_logo.png |400px|thumb|left|'''Fig. 1: Logo from the school magazine''']]<br />
<br />
We were not only informed about DNA but also about enzymes. Therefore, we squished again some fruits (this time pineapple and kiwi). We put pineapple, kiwi and pineapple juice into bowls and added gummy bears. The enzymes in the pineapple juice can decompose the gelatin of gummy bears. Unfortunately we could not see the result because it should rest 24 hours and, of course, we forgot to look again. <br />
<br />
Anyway the day '''was very interesting''' for us and we learned a lot about iGEM, the DNA and the way enzymes work.<br />

<br />
====The School We Visited====<br />
<hr/><br />
[[File:TUM_School-picture.jpg|400px|thumb|right|'''Fig. 2: Picture from the school''']]<br />
We visited the '''Joseph-Bernahrt-Gymnasium''' in Türkheim. About 900 pupils go to this school, located in the beautiful region "Allgäu" in Bavaria. We visited a 10th grade biology and an 11th grade chemistry class, each for the duration of two hours. [http://www.gymnasium-tuerkheim.de/ This] is the link to the homepage of the school and [http://www.spickzettel-jbg.de this] to the school magazine.<br />
<br />
====Why We Came====<br />
<hr/><br />
Of course children are our future. This sentence is used a lot of times these days, but it is not the only reason why we drove almost 100 km to a school at 7 o'clock in the morning. <br />
One member of our team did her university-entrance diploma at this school. When we wrote to the school and asked for a visit the response of the teachers was amazing. Although we came at the very end of the school year, two teachers invited us to their courses.<br />
Moreover the pupils were '''excited''' about the experiments we made with them and they had a lot of questions. Explaining our project to pupils was a nice experience for us and for them. They were really interested in the broad spectrum of possibilities in science that is available nowadays and asked us many questions about our university and our fields of study.<br />
<br />
====What We Did====<br />
<hr/><br />
We made''' four different experiments''' with the pupils. First we brewed a chemical "beer", then we extracted DNA from fruits. Another experiment was to test the activity of enzymes in fruits. Therefore, we "destroyed" a gummy bear with pineapple juice and last but not least we did a gel electrophoresis. Here you can see our [https://2012.igem.org/File:TUM-schoolpresentation.pdf short presentation] we prepared for the pupils.<br />
<br />
=====Chemical Brewing=====<br />
It is based on several redox reactions, which in the end produce "yellow-brown" Iodine. Here you can see a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp0ayLGJNe4 video] of this experiment produced by another school.<br />
[[File:TUM Results.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Fig. 3:Pupil with our results''']]<br />
<br />
=====DNA Extraction from Fruits=====<br />
We extracted DNA from bananas. First the fruit was smashed, then dish liquid and salt were added. Last but not least we put the "mush" in a glass that was already filled with isopropyl alcohol. After 20 min we could see the DNA as white striation.<br />
<br />
=====Enzymes in Fruits=====<br />
We used pineapple, apple and kiwi juice. Pineapple juice contains bromelain, which degrades gelatine in a gummy bear and, therefore, dissolves it within 12 hours. To demonstrate a negative effect, we also used Coca Cola that cannot dissolve a gummy bear.<br />
<br />
=====Gel Electrophoresis=====<br />
The last experiment we did was a gel electrophoresis. First we poured an agarose gel, then we pipetted the samples and a marker in the slots and turned on the electricity. <br />
After about one hour we could see the results. While waiting, we discussed the use of this method in forensics and biology.<br />
<br />
Finally, we wanted to show the students the application of gel electrophoresis in criminalistics. Therefore, we showed them a simplified gel picture with the DNA patterns of three suspects and the DNA pattern of the DNA sample collected at a "site of crime". The pupils directly spotted the guilty suspect and explained correctly why it is possible to identify the correct suspect based on the gel photo.<br />
<br />
====Declaration of Consent====<br />
<hr/><br />
In Germany it is not so easy to publish pictures of children in school. Therefore, we wrote a letter to the parents. By signing this [https://2012.igem.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Declaration.pdf_declaration declaration] they gave us permission to use pictures showing their children during the experiments. The school supported us,too.<br />

<hr/><br />
===Background===<br />
The survey was carried out by the [http://portal.mytum.de/jungeakademie/index_html/document_view?/ TUM young academy], which planned to install a [http://www.genial-info.de/ website] to inform the public about genetic engineering. They made an '''online questionnaire''' and stood in Munich for one day, with a print out version.<br />
All in all''' 1183''' people participated, 979 online and 204 on the street, thereof 597 were male and 570 female. The problem is that, in this survey, the group of the age from 15-24 is drastically over represented with 70%, the reason could be that through the university project more students were reached.<br />
<br/><br />
This team allowed us to use their data for our project as well. As they had 33 questions, we chose the ones directly relied to genetic engineering, the ones dealing with the webpage they wanted to create we left out.<br />
<br />
===Basic Data===<br />
*Participants: 1183<br />
*Online participants: 979<br />
*Street participants: 204<br />
*Male: 597 <br />
*Female: 570<br />
*Age: mainly between 15-24 (70%)<br />
<br />
===Questions===<br />
====Evaluated questions====<br />
*How do you feel about genetic engineering in general?<br />
*How good do you think is your knowledge about genetic engineering?<br />
*Are you concerned about genetically modified food?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in medicine?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in farming?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in food?<br />
*Do you think the commentatorship in Germany is neutral?<br />
*Would you eat a genetically modified apple if it was healthier?<br />
*Would you eat a genetically modified apple if it tasted better?<br />

<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br />
<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
In contrary to our first impression, about half of the questioned people said that they have a "normal" or better amount of knowledge. In our former human practice events we often realized that the discussions are rather emotional than scientific. This difference could arise from the mostly younger people who participated. Because in Germany genetic engineering started to play a bigger role in schools and in the media, although as mentioned below, the media is not always neutral.<br />
The overall impression of genetically modified organisms is not that bad, but it needs to be differentiated where genetic engineering is used. Most people agree that it is appropriate to use it in medicine.<br />
<br/><br />
In contrast 633 people (food) and 573 people (farming) of 1183 participants did not accept genetic engineering in food and agriculture. As already mentioned on our [https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/Overview overview page] people do not accept GMOs in their food. In Germany great skepticism persists.<br />
The fact that people (533) would not eat genetically modified apples even if they would taste similar, shows the low acceptance as well. If genetic engineering would be used for production of healthier aliment, the renunciation decreases. <br />
<br/><br/><br />
The advantages of green biotechnology are not present in people's minds and many people think that they are not informed impartial. This leads to a negative point of view and therefore neutral reporting is essential.<br />
<br />
All in all red biotechnology is widely accepted in Germany whereas green biotechnology is discussed controversial. Additionally some Germans think that media does not report objective about GMOs. Furthermore people wish that genetic engineering plays a bigger role in politics.</div>Nadine1990http://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/RadioTeam:TU Munich/Human Practice/Radio2012-10-26T16:58:35Z<p>Nadine1990: /* Radio interviews */</p>

==iGEM Germany Action Day for Synthetic Biology==<br />
<hr/><br />
<div class="bezel mfull"><br />
<div style="text-align:justify;"><br />
<br />
====Background Information==== <br />
[[File:IGEM-Germany-logo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Fig. 1: German iGEM logo''']]<br />
At a conference in Berlin organized by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research all German iGEM Teams decided to take part in a '''Germany-wide''' "Action Day" on August 25th. The idea was to attract attention to iGEM and synthetic biology in Germany. '''The iGEM teams worked together''' to put this idea into practice. We wrote a [https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/Information_Day#Press_release_in_English press release] for all teams that was published in several newspapers all over the country. <br />
<br />
Each iGEM Team organized a kind of "SynBio Action" in its hometown on August 25th. We had an '''information booth''' in the city of Munich that we shared with the '''other Munich iGEM team (LMU)'''. During the day, we informed people about synthetic biology, iGEM and our project. Although many people in Germany are critical about genetic engineering, they were '''really interested in iGEM''' and our project, mainly because it deals with beer. Yet many people argued that they do not support genetically modified food. They are afraid of eating it because they do not know if it interferes with their body functions. <br />
<br />
However, we '''organized a poster, information materials and handouts''' to explain the basics of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. Almost everybody liked the idea of iGEM and that we are so ambitious to take part in it. Especially the '''transparency''' of this competition and the '''concept of standardization via BioBricks was favored.'''<br />
<br />
====What we did==== <br />
To inform the people about synthetic biology we distributed '''two booklets''' of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. One was entitled '''"Hier steckt Biotechnologie drin"''' (There's biotechnology inside), the other one "Weiße Biotechnologie" (white biotechnology). Besides, we prepared [https://2012.igem.org/File:Informationbooklet.pdf information material] to present iGEM and the two projects of the Munich iGEM teams. Last but not least SCNAT (Swiss Academy of Science) provided us a comic about synthetic biology that we distributed. <br />
To get the children interested in scientific topics and to explain them the principles of standardized parts, we provided them '''Lego bricks''' at our booth and they build creative constructs. Moreover, many children took part in our painting competition. The challenge was to paint an animal that possesses at least one feature of another animal. <br />
<br />
[[File:TUM-legobrick.jpg|350px|thumb|left|'''Fig. 2: Lego Brick for the kids''']]<br />
<br />
====Conclusion====<br />
In total the Germany-wide "Action Day" was '''really successful'''. We addressed a lot of people and informed them about the ideas and opportunities of synthetic biology. Especially our project attracted much interest because everybody in Germany (and mainly in Bavaria) likes beer and consequently the idea to modify it using "super yeast". It is a topic everybody can talk about and thus it is easy to communicate the keynotes of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. <br />
The children often '''painted or built constructs with Lego bricks''' while their '''parents talked with us about iGEM and our project.''' Many people were attracted by our poster and stopped to read it. We are really happy that we addressed so many people and that we communicated them the principles of iGEM and BioBricks.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br> <br />
<br />
All in all it was a lot of fun for us and the pedestrians - have a look at the pictures and see for yourself!<br />

===Children painting contest illustrating synthetic biology===<br />
[[File:TUM-TicketsZoo.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''Fig. 3: The tickets for Munich Zoo''']]<br />
The painting competition was a descriptive way to explain children the principles of synthetic biology. By transferring a feature of one animal to another you can '''create a completely new organism'''. All in all this is the idea of synthetic biology. We also explained the children that we do this in our project as well. Yet we do not work with big animals but with smaller organisms. Finally, we are able to transfer features of plants to yeast. Besides, we explained the principles of iGEM using Lego Bricks and the children built interesting constructs on their own.<br />
The children who participated in our competition won tickets to the zoo in Munich ("Tierpark Hellabrunn"). They painted really nice pictures as you can see below.<br />
We learned from the kids that there are actually no boarders for imagination and that the statement "thinking outside the box" was here more present than anywhere else. They talked to us and were so enthusiastic about SynBio, because for them it is a tool to change the world. Showing us their view of the world and as a consequence make things very simple had a huge impact on us. <br />

===Press release in English===<br />
This press release is the neutral version which was sent to all iGEM Teams. <br />
<br />
'''What Lego Bricks and Biology have in common'''<br />
<br />
<br />
On the 25th of August the German iGEM Teams held a Germany-wide action day. In [City] students of the [University] informed about Synthetic Biology and the iGEM competition. Students of the [University] participate this year, like the last years too, in iGEM. iGEM is the abbreviation for "international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. This international competition in the field of Synthetic Biology is held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, since 2003. Within the years iGEM got one of the most famous competitions in the steadily growing field of SynBio. In the last year 160 student teams from all over the world participated.<br />
Synthetic Biology is an interdisciplinary field of study, combining molecular biology, chemistry, engineering, biotechnology and IT.<br />
<br />
The aim is to create new biological systems which can be transferred in organisms and grant them certain characteristics and features that don't exist naturally. These systems are created in a modular way what is the gist of SynBio and iGEM. These biological systems are designed by single gene parts, called BioBricks. Similar to Lego bricks these Biobricks can be combined in different and new ways. For the completion the teams can use BioBricks from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, comparable to a box of different Lego Bricks. There is no limit, anything is possible.<br />
<br />
The teams have half a year to realize their project, either using existing BioBricks or creating new ones. The projects vary a lot, one team faces environmental problems, others build very sensitive biosensors and another team deals with medical problems. <br />
In the beginning of November the teams present their projects and the results at the “final” at the MIT to the other teams. <br />
<br />
The [university] has this year again an iGEM Team. It is dealing with [short description]. If you want to know more about the project come on the 25th of August between [time] and [time] to the information booth at [place]. <br />
The action day takes part in several German cities, the team inform about iGEM, Synthetic Biology and their project<br />

Was LEGO Steine mit Biologie zu tun haben<br />
<br />
Am 25.08.2012 laden die deutschen iGEM-Teams zum deutschlandweiten Aktionstag. In [Ort] informieren Studenten der [Universität] über Synthetische Biologie und den iGEM Wettbewerb.<br />
Wie in den vergangenen Jahren nehmen Studenten der [Universität] auch in diesem Jahr wieder an iGEM teil. iGEM steht für „international Genetically Engineered Machine competition“. Dieser internationale Wettbewerb im Bereich der Synthetischen Biologie wird seit 2003 jährlich am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge (USA) ausgetragen. Über die Jahre hat sich iGEM zu einem der bedeutendsten internationalen Ereignisse auf dem rasch wachsenden Feld der Synthetischen Biologie entwickelt. Allein im letzten Jahr nahmen über 160 Studententeams aus der ganzen Welt an iGEM teil.<br />
Die Synthetische Biologie ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsgebiet, in dem die Fachbereiche Molekularbiologie, Chemie, Ingenieurwissenschaften, Biotechnologie und Informationstechnik verschmelzen. Ziel der Forschung ist die Entwicklung neuer, in der Natur nicht vorkommender, biologischer Systeme, die bestimmte Eigenschaften und Funktionen besitzen. Werden diese biologischen Systeme in einen Organismus eingebaut, verleihen sie ihm die gewünschten Eigenschaften. <br />
Der modulare Aufbau der neuen biologischen Systeme ist das Kernstück der Synthetischen Biologie und des iGEM Wettbewerbs. Die biologischen Systeme werden aus einzelnen genetischen Bausteinen, den sogenannten BioBricks. aufgebaut. Ähnlich wie LEGO Steine können die genetischen Bausteine miteinander zu neuen Kombinationen verknüpft werden. Für den iGEM Wettbewerb können die Studententeams aus der Registry of Standard Biological Parts, vergleichbar mit einer großen Kiste unterschiedlichster LEGO Steine, verschiedene BioBricks auswählen. Der Kreativität der Studenten sind dabei fast keine Grenzen gesetzt. Die Studententeams haben ein halbes Jahr Zeit, um mit Hilfe bestehender oder selbst entworfener BioBricks innovative Forschungsprojekte aus dem Themengebiet der Synthetischen Biologie umzusetzen. <br />
Die Wettbewerbsbeiträge sind ganz unterschiedlicher Natur. Während sich die einen mit Umweltfragen auseinandersetzen, bauen die anderen hochsensible Biosensoren, andere wiederum beschäftigen sich mit tiefgreifenden medizinischen Problemen. Anfang November präsentieren die einzelnen Teams ihre Ergebnisse auf dem großen Finale am Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.<br />
Die [Universität] stellt erneut ein iGEM-Team. Dieses Jahr setzt es sich mit [kurze Beschreibung des eigenen Projekts].<br />
Wer mehr über das ambitionierte Projekt erfahren möchte, kann sich am 25. August 2012 zwischen [Anfangszeit] und [Endzeit] Uhr am Informationsstand am [Ort des Informationsstandes] informieren. Neben dem persönlichen Austausch, gibt es umfangreiches Informationsmaterial und [Platz für spezielle Angebote vor Ort].<br />
<br />
Der deutschlandweite iGEM Aktionstag findet in ausgewählten Städten Deutschlands statt. Die jeweiligen Teams informieren über Synthetische Biologie, iGEM und die Projekte der jeweiligen ortsansässigen Teams.<br />

===Articles about The Whole Project===<br />
'''"Laborwelt.de"''' is an online magazine which focuses on scientific issues. We cooperated with them and they gave us the opportunity to post about the progress of our project every week on their Facebook page (1000 likes). We made '''more than 12 posts''' to inform the readers about our work in the lab and other events. You can take a look at their page [https://www.facebook.com/laborwelt Laborwelt.de]. "Laborwelt" is a also a print magazine in Germany. It is published every quarterly with a run of '''20,000 copies'''. <br />
<br />
'''"Jetzt.de"''', a part of the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" (very popular newspaper in Germany), wrote an article about us and iGEM. It is the '''biggest online youth magazine''' in Germany that has more than 400,000 users monthley and 1,000,000 visitors. Here you can read the article (page 4) [http://jetzt.sueddeutsche.de/texte/anzeigen/544866/4/1#texttitel]. In this article, projects of young scientists are described. Our project is headed "The Miracle Yeast" and it tells about us and what we want to do. Besides we are '''the only iGEM Team''' mentioned in this article. <br />
<br />
'''"biotechnologie.de"''' is another popular scientific homepage in Germany. It belongs to the '''Federal Ministry of Education and Research.''' In the context of the "Action Day" of all German iGEM Teams, a detailed article was published about iGEM and every German iGEM Team [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=153818.html].<br />
<br />
Last but not least our project was presented on the homepage of the '''Technical University of Munich''' [http://portal.mytum.de/ccc/newsletter/studierende/2012_03/02/]. Besides the article was also added to the newsletter which was sent to all students of the university. The pictures of us with traditionally Bavarian clothing were made by a professional photographer of the TU Munich.<br />
<br />
===Articles after The Europeen Jamboree===<br />
[http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=154774.html?listBlId=74462 Biotechnologie.de] presented an article about the German teams which advanced to Boston directly after the Jamboree.<br/><br />
One of our Teammembers was interviewed and quoted in the article. Besides, the projects of the five German teams were described and explained. <br/><br />
At the 23rd of October we had a visitor from the [http://www.dradio.de/dlf/ Deutschlandfunk]. He made an interview with us for the radio station which will be aired during the jamboree. Four of team members reported on the project our human practice events and showed our brewing experiment.<br/><br />
Furthermore the [http://www.sueddeutsche.de/ Sueddeutsche] visited us in the lab at October 24th and asked us some questions about the project. The article will be online as soon as possible. <br/><br />
Last but not least [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/Service/Videos/biotechnologie-tv-gesamt.html biotechnologie.tv] interviewed on of our members via Skype for almost one hour. This interview is now in the postproduction and will be online at the 5th of November. Biotechnologie.tv belongs to biotechnologie.de and therefore is an initiative of the federal ministry of education and research.<br/><br />
It was overwhelming how big our outreach was after the European jamboree. We were prod that we could help to explain SynBio in a way that the public understands it and therefore help to increase the acceptance of genetic engineering in Germany.<br />
<br />
===Articles about The Panel Discussion===<br />
This article published on September 20th, 2012, gives a '''short summary about our panel discussion''' [http://www.merkur-online.de/lokales/freising/widerstand-gegen-gruene-gentechnik-waechst-weiter-2510648.html]. It states that the green biotechnology is controversial, but the red biotechnology is rather accepted in Germany. Yet it also mentions that there were many supporters of green biotechnology at the discussion and that most of the invited guests supported it, too. In general, the whole event was '''really informative and enjoyable.'''<br />
One of the participants of our panel discussion, Peter Warlimont (SPD), wrote about his impressions of the evening [http://www.peter-warlimont.de/index.php?nr=46952&menu=1]. He is still rather skeptical about green biotechnology, but honors the enthusiasm of the students and scientists.<br />
</div><br />

<div class="mfull bezel"><br />
Most of our publicity was done in the Internet, mainly on Facebook. The outreach of this social network is larger than any other. That is why we used it for contacting the populace. During our main working time in August, '''over 9000 people were reached''' by our posts. Besides, our homepage was an important information source and other iGEM teams followed us mainly on twitter. A blog completed our "Public Relation" work. We had around 1000 page views in 4 months. <br />
All in all it is to say that we were '''present on a broad range of social media''' to have a big outreach. <br />
==Facebook==<br />
'''99''' people liked our [https://www.facebook.com/pages/iGEM-TU-M%C3%BCnchen/149746078408629 Facebook page],this is an increase of ten people, because before the Jamboree we only had 88 likes. During one week (20th to 26th August) we reached 9046 people with our account. In the picture below you can see the statistics of our Facebook page. The blue line represents the number of people we reached, the green one the number of people who talked about us and the purple line stands for the number of our posts. <br />
The number of friends of fans is '''23524'''. These are the people who could see our posts when they open up their facebook profile.''' 10''' is the number of people who talked about us, and '''412''' is the reachout of the last week.<br />
We are sorry that it was not possible to create this statistics page in English. <br />
<br />

[[File:TUM-Facebook_age.png|center]]<br />
<br />
In the picture above you can see that our "outreach" is divided according to gender and age. We reached more men (down) than women (top) and people between 18 and 34 years were mostly reached.<br />
<br />
==Blog==<br />
This is our blog [http://tum-igem2012.blog.de/]. Overall we had '''433''' visitors from May 2012 to September 2012 and '''989''' page views in general. This shows that our visitors wanted to be kept up-to-date and read our blog regularly. We honored this by writing a '''comment at least once a week'''.<br />
<br />
==Report on Our Panel Discussion==<br />
Many weeks before the panel discussion we did a lot of advertisement for this event. That is why articles were published on the homepage of the TUM [http://www.wzw.tum.de/index.phpid=189&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=418&cHash=966e4554a85d97bee8ae1d7d5c0c3d9] <br />
[http://www.wzw.tum.de/fachschaften/biowiss/home/]. In addition external pages such as the Munich Biotechcluster posted invitations to our event [http://www.m4.de/der-cluster/datenbanken/termindatenbank/details/8490.html?tx_biomdatabaseconnection_calendarevent%5Bis_search%5D=].

===Articles about The Whole Project===<br />
'''"Laborwelt.de"''' is an online magazine which focuses on scientific issues. We cooperated with them and they gave us the opportunity to post about the progress of our project every week on their Facebook page (1000 likes). We made '''more than 12 posts''' to inform the readers about our work in the lab and other events. You can take a look at their page [https://www.facebook.com/laborwelt Laborwelt.de]. "Laborwelt" is a also a print magazine in Germany. It is published every quarterly with a run of '''20,000 copies'''. <br />
<br />
'''"Jetzt.de"''', a part of the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" (very popular newspaper in Germany), wrote an article about us and iGEM. It is the '''biggest online youth magazine''' in Germany that has more than 400,000 users monthley and 1,000,000 visitors. Here you can read the article (page 4) [http://jetzt.sueddeutsche.de/texte/anzeigen/544866/4/1#texttitel]. In this article, projects of young scientists are described. Our project is headed "The Miracle Yeast" and it tells about us and what we want to do. Besides we are '''the only iGEM Team''' mentioned in this article. <br />
<br />
'''"biotechnologie.de"''' is another popular scientific homepage in Germany. It belongs to the '''Federal Ministry of Education and Research.''' In the context of the "Action Day" of all German iGEM Teams, a detailed article was published about iGEM and every German iGEM Team [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=153818.html].<br />
<br />
Last but not least our project was presented on the homepage of the '''Technical University of Munich''' [http://portal.mytum.de/ccc/newsletter/studierende/2012_03/02/]. Besides the article was also added to the newsletter which was sent to all students of the university. The pictures of us with traditionally Bavarian clothing were made by a professional photographer of the TU Munich.<br />
<br />
===Articles after The Europeen Jamboree===<br />
[http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=154774.html?listBlId=74462 Biotechnologie.de] presented an article about the German teams which advanced to Boston directly after the Jamboree.<br/><br />
One of our Teammembers was interviewed and quoted in the article. Besides, the projects of the five German teams were described and explained. <br/><br />
At the 23rd of October we had a visitor from the [http://www.dradio.de/dlf/ Deutschlandfunk]. He made an interview with us for the radio station which will be aired during the jamboree. Four of team members reported on the project our human practice events and showed our brewing experiment.<br/><br />
Furthermore the [http://www.sueddeutsche.de/ Sueddeutsche] visited us in the lab at October 24th and asked us some questions about the project. The article will be online as soon as possible. <br/><br />
Last but not least [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/Service/Videos/biotechnologie-tv-gesamt.html biotechnologie.tv] interviewed on of our members via Skype for almost one hour. This interview is now in the postproduction and will be online at the 5th of November. Biotechnologie.tv belongs to biotechnologie.de and therefore is an initiative of the federal ministry of education and research.<br/><br />
It was overwhelming how big our outreach was after the European jamboree. We were prod that we could help to explain SynBio in a way that the public understands it and therefore help to increase the acceptance of genetic engineering in Germany.<br />
<br />
===Articles about The Panel Discussion===<br />
This article published on September 20th, 2012, gives a '''short summary about our panel discussion''' [http://www.merkur-online.de/lokales/freising/widerstand-gegen-gruene-gentechnik-waechst-weiter-2510648.html]. It states that the green biotechnology is controversial, but the red biotechnology is rather accepted in Germany. Yet it also mentions that there were many supporters of green biotechnology at the discussion and that most of the invited guests supported it, too. In general, the whole event was '''really informative and enjoyable.'''<br />
One of the participants of our panel discussion, Peter Warlimont (SPD), wrote about his impressions of the evening [http://www.peter-warlimont.de/index.php?nr=46952&menu=1]. He is still rather skeptical about green biotechnology, but honors the enthusiasm of the students and scientists.<br />

<div class="mfull bezel"><br />
Most of our publicity was done in the Internet, mainly on Facebook. The outreach of this social network is larger than any other. That is why we used it for contacting the populace. During our main working time in August, '''over 9000 people were reached''' by our posts. Besides, our homepage was an important information source and other iGEM teams followed us mainly on twitter. A blog completed our "Public Relation" work. We had around 1000 page views in 4 months. <br />
All in all it is to say that we were '''present on a broad range of social media''' to have a big outreach. <br />
==Facebook==<br />
'''99''' people liked our [https://www.facebook.com/pages/iGEM-TU-M%C3%BCnchen/149746078408629 Facebook page],this is an increase of ten people, because before the Jamboree we only had 88 likes. During one week (20th to 26th August) we reached 9046 people with our account. In the picture below you can see the statistics of our Facebook page. The blue line represents the number of people we reached, the green one the number of people who talked about us and the purple line stands for the number of our posts. <br />
The number of friends of fans is '''23524'''. These are the people who could see our posts when they open up their facebook profile.''' 10''' is the number of people who talked about us, and '''412''' is the reachout of the last week.<br />
We are sorry that it was not possible to create this statistics page in English. <br />

==Report on our Panel discussion==<br />
Many weeks before the panel discussion we did a lot of advertisement for this event. That is why articles were published on the homepage of the TUM [http://www.wzw.tum.de/index.phpid=189&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=418&cHash=966e4554a85d97bee8ae1d7d5c0c3d9] <br />

===Articles about the panel discussion===<br />
This article published on September 20th, 2012, gives a '''short summary about our panel discussion''' [http://www.merkur-online.de/lokales/freising/widerstand-gegen-gruene-gentechnik-waechst-weiter-2510648.html]. It states that the green biotechnology is controversial, but the red biotechnology is rather accepted in Germany. Yet it also mentions that there were many supporters of green biotechnology at the discussion and that most of the invited guests supported it, too. In general, the whole event was '''really informative and enjoyable.'''<br />
One of the participants of our panel discussion, Peter Warlimont (SPD), wrote about his impressions of the evening [http://www.peter-warlimont.de/index.php?nr=46952&menu=1]. He is still rather skeptical about green biotechnology, but honors the enthusiasm of the students and scientists.<br />

Most of our publicity was done in the Internet, mainly on Facebook. The outreach of this social network is larger than any other. That is why we used it for contacting the populace. During our main working time in August, '''over 9000 people were reached''' by our posts. Besides, our homepage was an important information source and other iGEM teams followed us mainly on twitter. A blog completed our "Public Relation" work. We had around 1000 page views in 4 months. <br />
All in all it is to say that we were '''present on a broad range of social media''' to have a big outreach. <br />

===Articles about The Whole Project===<br />
'''"Laborwelt.de"''' is an online magazine which focuses on scientific issues. We cooperated with them and they gave us the opportunity to post about the progress of our project every week on their Facebook page (1000 likes). We made '''more than 12 posts''' to inform the readers about our work in the lab and other events. You can take a look at their page [https://www.facebook.com/laborwelt Laborwelt.de]. "Laborwelt" is a also a print magazine in Germany. It is published every quarterly with a run of '''20,000 copies'''. <br />
<br />
'''"Jetzt.de"''', a part of the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" (very popular newspaper in Germany), wrote an article about us and iGEM. It is the '''biggest online youth magazine''' in Germany that has more than 400,000 users monthley and 1,000,000 visitors. Here you can read the article (page 4) [http://jetzt.sueddeutsche.de/texte/anzeigen/544866/4/1#texttitel]. In this article, projects of young scientists are described. Our project is headed "The Miracle Yeast" and it tells about us and what we want to do. Besides we are '''the only iGEM Team''' mentioned in this article. <br />
<br />
'''"biotechnologie.de"''' is another popular scientific homepage in Germany. It belongs to the '''Federal Ministry of Education and Research.''' In the context of the "Action Day" of all German iGEM Teams, a detailed article was published about iGEM and every German iGEM Team [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=153818.html].<br />
<br />
Last but not least our project was presented on the homepage of the '''Technical University of Munich''' [http://portal.mytum.de/ccc/newsletter/studierende/2012_03/02/]. Besides the article was also added to the newsletter which was sent to all students of the university. The pictures of us with traditionally Bavarian clothing were made by a professional photographer of the TU Munich.<br />

===Articles about the whole project===<br />
'''"Laborwelt.de"''' is an online magazine which focuses on scientific issues. We cooperated with them and they gave us the opportunity to post about the progress of our project every week on their Facebook page (1000 likes). We made '''more than 12 posts''' to inform the readers about our work in the lab and other events. You can take a look at their page [https://www.facebook.com/laborwelt Laborwelt.de]. "Laborwelt" is a also a print magazine in Germany. It is published every quarterly with a run of '''20,000 copies'''. <br />
<br />
'''"Jetzt.de"''', a part of the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" (very popular newspaper in Germany), wrote an article about us and iGEM. It is the '''biggest online youth magazine''' in Germany that has more than 400,000 users monthley and 1,000,000 visitors. Here you can read the article (page 4) [http://jetzt.sueddeutsche.de/texte/anzeigen/544866/4/1#texttitel]. In this article, projects of young scientists are described. Our project is headed "The Miracle Yeast" and it tells about us and what we want to do. Besides we are '''the only iGEM Team''' mentioned in this article. <br />
<br />
'''"biotechnologie.de"''' is another popular scientific homepage in Germany. It belongs to the '''Federal Ministry of Education and Research.''' In the context of the "Action Day" of all German iGEM Teams, a detailed article was published about iGEM and every German iGEM Team [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=153818.html].<br />
<br />
Last but not least our project was presented on the homepage of the '''Technical University of Munich''' [http://portal.mytum.de/ccc/newsletter/studierende/2012_03/02/]. Besides the article was also added to the newsletter which was sent to all students of the university. The pictures of us with traditionally Bavarian clothing were made by a professional photographer of the TU Munich.<br />
<br />
==Articles after the Europeen Jamboree==<br />
[http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=154774.html?listBlId=74462 Biotechnologie.de] presented an article about the German teams which advanced to Boston directly after the Jamboree.<br/><br />
One of our Teammembers was interviewed and quoted in the article. Besides, the projects of the five German teams were described and explained. <br/><br />
At the 23rd of October we had a visitor from the [http://www.dradio.de/dlf/ Deutschlandfunk]. He made an interview with us for the radio station which will be aired during the jamboree. Four of team members reported on the project our human practice events and showed our brewing experiment.<br/><br />
Furthermore the [http://www.sueddeutsche.de/ Sueddeutsche] visited us in the lab at October 24th and asked us some questions about the project. The article will be online as soon as possible. <br/><br />
Last but not least [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/Service/Videos/biotechnologie-tv-gesamt.html biotechnologie.tv] interviewed on of our members via Skype for almost one hour. This interview is now in the postproduction and will be online at the 5th of November. Biotechnologie.tv belongs to biotechnologie.de and therefore is an initiative of the federal ministry of education and research.<br/><br />
It was overwhelming how big our outreach was after the European jamboree. We were prod that we could help to explain SynBio in a way that the public understands it and therefore help to increase the acceptance of genetic engineering in Germany.<br />
<br />
===Articles about the panel discussion===<br />
This article published on September 20th, 2012, gives a '''short summary about our panel discussion''' [http://www.merkur-online.de/lokales/freising/widerstand-gegen-gruene-gentechnik-waechst-weiter-2510648.html]. It states that the green biotechnology is controversial, but the red biotechnology is rather accepted in Germany. Yet it also mentions that there were many supporters of green biotechnology at the discussion and that most of the invited guests supported it, too. In general, the whole event was '''really informative and enjoyable.'''<br />
One of the participants of our panel discussion, Peter Warlimont (SPD), wrote about his impressions of the evening [http://www.peter-warlimont.de/index.php?nr=46952&menu=1]. He is still rather skeptical about green biotechnology, but honors the enthusiasm of the students and scientists.<br />

Most of our publicity was done in the Internet, mainly on Facebook. The outreach of this social network is larger than any other. That is why we used it for contacting the populace. During our main working time in August, '''over 9000 people were reached''' by our posts. Besides, our homepage was an important information source and other iGEM teams followed us mainly on twitter. A blog completed our "Public Relation" work. We had around 1000 page views in 4 months. <br />
All in all it is to say that we were '''present on a broad range of social media''' to have a big outreach. <br />
==Facebook==<br />
'''99''' people liked our [https://www.facebook.com/pages/iGEM-TU-M%C3%BCnchen/149746078408629 Facebook page],this is an increase of ten people, because before the Jamboree we only had 88 likes. During one week (20th to 26th August) we reached 9046 people with our account. In the picture below you can see the statistics of our Facebook page. The blue line represents the number of people we reached, the green one the number of people who talked about us and the purple line stands for the number of our posts. <br />
The number of friends of fans is '''23524'''. These are the people who could see our posts when they open up their facebook profile.''' 10''' is the number of people who talked about us, and '''412''' is the reachout of the last week.<br />
We are sorry that it was not possible to create this statistics page in English. <br />

In the picture above you can see that our "outreach" is divided according to gender and age. We reached more men (down) than women (top) and people between 18 and 34 years were mostly reached.<br />
<br />
==Blog==<br />
This is our blog [http://tum-igem2012.blog.de/]. Overall we had '''433''' visitors from May 2012 to September 2012 and '''989''' page views in general. This shows that our visitors wanted to be kept up-to-date and read our blog regularly. We honored this by writing a '''comment at least once a week'''.<br />
<br />
==Report on our Panel discussion==<br />
Many weeks before the panel discussion we did a lot of advertisement for this event. That is why articles were published on the homepage of the TUM [http://www.wzw.tum.de/index.phpid=189&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=418&cHash=966e4554a85d97bee8ae1d7d5c0c3d9] <br />
[http://www.wzw.tum.de/fachschaften/biowiss/home/]. In addition external pages such as the Munich Biotechcluster posted invitations to our event [http://www.m4.de/der-cluster/datenbanken/termindatenbank/details/8490.html?tx_biomdatabaseconnection_calendarevent%5Bis_search%5D=]. On their website a comprehensive overview of the Munich Biotechnology community can be found.<br />
The same article was posted on the website of the LMU because they worked together with us on the action day [http://www.uni-muenchen.de/aktuelles/news/2012/aktionstag_igem.html].<br />
Of course we also posted an event on Facebook to invite people [https://www.facebook.com/events/180510918750781/].<br />

Most of our publicity was done in the Internet, mainly on Facebook. The outreach of this social network is larger than any other. That is why we used it for contacting the populace. During our main working time in August, '''over 9000 people were reached''' by our posts. Besides, our homepage was an important information source and other iGEM teams followed us mainly on twitter. A blog completed our "Public Relation" work. We had around 1000 page views in 4 months. <br />
All in all it is to say that we were '''present on a broad range of social media''' to have a big outreach. <br />
==Facebook==<br />
'''99''' people liked our [https://www.facebook.com/pages/iGEM-TU-M%C3%BCnchen/149746078408629 Facebook page],this is an increase of ten people, because before the Jamboree we only had 88 likes. During one week (20th to 26th August) we reached 9046 people with our account. In the picture below you can see the statistics of our Facebook page. The blue line represents the number of people we reached, the green one the number of people who talked about us and the purple line stands for the number of our posts. <br />
The number of friends of fans is '''23524'''. These are the people who could see our posts when they open up their facebook profile.''' 10''' is the number of people who talked about us, and '''412''' is the reachout of the last week.<br />
We are sorry that it was not possible to create this statistics page in English. <br />

==Report on our Panel discussion==<br />
Many weeks before the panel discussion we did a lot of advertisement for this event. That is why articles were published on the homepage of the TUM [http://www.wzw.tum.de/index.phpid=189&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=418&cHash=966e4554a85d97bee8ae1d7d5c0c3d9] <br />
[http://www.wzw.tum.de/fachschaften/biowiss/home/]. In addition external pages such as the Munich Biotechcluster posted invitations to our event [http://www.m4.de/der-cluster/datenbanken/termindatenbank/details/8490.html?tx_biomdatabaseconnection_calendarevent%5Bis_search%5D=]. On their website a comprehensive overview of the Munich Biotechnology community can be found.<br />
The same article was posted on the website of the LMU because they worked together with us on the action day [http://www.uni-muenchen.de/aktuelles/news/2012/aktionstag_igem.html].<br />
Of course we also posted an event on Facebook to invite people [https://www.facebook.com/events/180510918750781/].<br />

==Articles==<br />
<hr/><br />
===Articles about the whole project===<br />
'''"Laborwelt.de"''' is an online magazine which focuses on scientific issues. We cooperated with them and they gave us the opportunity to post about the progress of our project every week on their Facebook page (1000 likes). We made '''more than 12 posts''' to inform the readers about our work in the lab and other events. You can take a look at their page [https://www.facebook.com/laborwelt Laborwelt.de]. "Laborwelt" is a also a print magazine in Germany. It is published every quarterly with a run of '''20,000 copies'''. <br />
<br />
'''"Jetzt.de"''', a part of the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" (very popular newspaper in Germany), wrote an article about us and iGEM. It is the '''biggest online youth magazine''' in Germany that has more than 400,000 users monthley and 1,000,000 visitors. Here you can read the article (page 4) [http://jetzt.sueddeutsche.de/texte/anzeigen/544866/4/1#texttitel]. In this article, projects of young scientists are described. Our project is headed "The Miracle Yeast" and it tells about us and what we want to do. Besides we are '''the only iGEM Team''' mentioned in this article. <br />
<br />
'''"biotechnologie.de"''' is another popular scientific homepage in Germany. It belongs to the '''Federal Ministry of Education and Research.''' In the context of the "Action Day" of all German iGEM Teams, a detailed article was published about iGEM and every German iGEM Team [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=153818.html].<br />
<br />
Last but not least our project was presented on the homepage of the '''Technical University of Munich''' [http://portal.mytum.de/ccc/newsletter/studierende/2012_03/02/]. Besides the article was also added to the newsletter which was sent to all students of the university. The pictures of us with traditionally Bavarian clothing were made by a professional photographer of the TU Munich.<br />
<br />
==Articles after the Europeen Jamboree==<br />
[http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=154774.html?listBlId=74462 Biotechnologie.de] presented an article about the German teams which advanced to Boston directly after the Jamboree. One of our Teammembers was interviewed and quoted in the article. Besides, the projects of the five German teams were described and explained.<br />
At the 23rd of October we had a visitor from the Deutschlandfunk. He made an interview with us for the radio station which will be aired during the jamboree. Four of team members reported on the project our human practice events and showed our brewing experiment.<br />
Furthermore the Sueddeutsche visited us in the lab at October 24th and asked us some questions about the project. The article will be online as soon as possible. <br />
Last but not least biotechnologie.tv interviewed on of our members via Skype for almost one hour. This interview is now in the postproduction and will be online at the 5th of November.<br />
It was overwhelming how big our outreach was after the European jamboree. We were prod that we could help to explain SynBio in a way that the public understands it and therefore help to increase the acceptance of genetic engineering in Germany.<br />
<br />
===Articles about the panel discussion===<br />
This article published on September 20th, 2012, gives a '''short summary about our panel discussion''' [http://www.merkur-online.de/lokales/freising/widerstand-gegen-gruene-gentechnik-waechst-weiter-2510648.html]. It states that the green biotechnology is controversial, but the red biotechnology is rather accepted in Germany. Yet it also mentions that there were many supporters of green biotechnology at the discussion and that most of the invited guests supported it, too. In general, the whole event was '''really informative and enjoyable.'''<br />
One of the participants of our panel discussion, Peter Warlimont (SPD), wrote about his impressions of the evening [http://www.peter-warlimont.de/index.php?nr=46952&menu=1]. He is still rather skeptical about green biotechnology, but honors the enthusiasm of the students and scientists.<br />

<br />
Use this sign-up sheet to sign up for a slot on Friday night (November 2nd) to practice your talk. Note that there will NOT be any A/V (audio/visual) support on staff. All classrooms will be unlocked and you should use them and leave them as you found them. Be sure to bring necessary computer equipment with you, such as chargers and adapters, as these will not be provided.<br><br> <br />
<br />
There are a limited number of time slots available on a first-come first-serve basis so please only choose one slot. We cannot match the room that you will ultimately give your presentation in with the practice room. This should, however, give you a chance to practice your talk in a new environment. Please keep in mind that there will be teams waiting to use the room after you, so make sure that your practice finishes on time.<br><br><br />
<br />
Also, pre-registration will be available on Friday November 2nd<!-- beginning at <strong>1pm at Compton Lounge</strong>. Conference services will be on-site to pass out team registration boxes (see the <a href="https://2012.igem.org/World_Championship_Jamboree/Handbook">Jamboree Handbook</a>) -->. <br><br><br />
<br />
<strong>Note</strong>: Use the wiki edit button to add your team to the schedule (the markup is located at the bottom of the page). Additional rooms may be added in the coming weeks.<br />

= Survey =<br />
<hr/><br />
===Background===<br />
The survey was carried out by the [http://portal.mytum.de/jungeakademie/index_html/document_view?/ TUM young academy], which planned to install a [http://www.genial-info.de/ website] to inform the public about genetic engineering. They made an online questionnaire and stood in Munich for one day, with a print out version.<br />
All in all''' 1183''' people participated, 979 online and 204 on the street, thereof 597 were male and 570 female. The problem is that, in this survey, the group of the age from 15-24 is drastically over represented with 70%, the reason could be that through the university project more students were reached.<br />
<br/><br />
This team allowed us to use their data for our project as well. As they had 33 questions we chose the ones directly relied to genetic engineering, the ones dealing with the webpage they wanted to create we left out.<br />
<br />
===Basic data===<br />
*Participants: 1183<br />
*Online participants: 979<br />
*Street participants: 204<br />
*Male: 597 <br />
*Female: 570<br />
*Age: mainly between 15-24 (70%)<br />
<br />
===Questions===<br />
====Evaluated questions====<br />
*How do you feel about genetic engineering in general?<br />
*How good do you think is your knowledge about genetic engineering?<br />
*Are you concerned about genetically modified food?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in medicine?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in farming?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in food?<br />

==Conclusion==<br />
In contrary to our first impression about half of the questioned people say that they have a "normal" or better amount of knowledge. In our former human practice events we often realised that the discussions are rather emotional than scientific. This difference could arise from the mostly younger people who participated. Because in Germany genetic engineering started to play a bigger role in schools and in the media, although as mentioned below, the media is not always neutral.<br />
The overall impression about genetically modified organism is not that bad, but it has to be differenced where genetic engineering is used. A lot of people agree that it is appropriate to use it in medicine (922).<br />
<br/><br />
Whereas in food and agriculture the acceptance is with 633 (food) and 573 (farming) people who say no, very low. As also mentioned on our [https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/Overview overview page] people do not accept GMO in their food. The skepticism in Germany is rather big.<br />
This is also depicted in the fact that people (533) will rather not eat a genetically modified apple even if it would taste the same. Eating a healthier apple is not that controversial but not many Germans would (404). So with around 50% of people who would not eat a healthier apple, when it is healthier because of genetic engineering, the problem lies in the acceptance. Even a positive result is not enough to convince people. But the question about medicine shows that the benefit is here that good that people accept genetic engineered therapeutics. So maybe the benefit of green biotechnology is not that present in the people's minds. <br />
<br/><br/><br />
Nevertheless it is to be mentioned that a lot of people think that they are not informed impartial. This might lead to a rather negativ point of view, because a neutral reporting is essential to come up with his or her own mind. <br />
All in all it is to say that the red biotechnology is widely accepted in Germany, whereas green biotechnology has a hard stand. Although it is to say that the Germans think that the media is not neutral about GMO, 808 think so. Also they have the wish that plays a bigger role in politics (655).</div>Nadine1990http://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Human_Practice/SurveyTeam:TU Munich/Human Practice/Survey2012-10-25T09:20:22Z<p>Nadine1990: /* Background */</p>

= Survey =<br />
<hr/><br />
===Background===<br />
The survey was carried out by the [http://portal.mytum.de/jungeakademie/index_html/document_view?/ TUM young academy], which planned to install a [http://www.genial-info.de/ website] to inform the public about genetic engineering. They made an online questionnaire and stood in Munich for one day, with a print out version.<br />
All in all''' 1183''' people participated, 979 online and 204 on the street, thereof 597 were male and 570 female. The problem is that, in this survey, the group of the age from 15-24 is drastically over represented with 70%, the reason could be that through the university project more students were reached.<br />
<br/><br />
This team allowed us to use their data for our project as well. As they had 33 questions we chose the ones directly relied to genetic engineering, the ones dealing with the webpage they wanted to create we left out.<br />
<br />
===Basic data===<br />
*Participants: 1183<br />
*Online participants: 979<br />
*Street participants: 204<br />
*Male: 597 <br />
*Female: 570<br />
*Age: mainly between 15-24 (70%)<br />
<br />
===Questions===<br />
====Evaluated questions====<br />
*How do you feel about genetic engineering in general?<br />
*How good do you think is your knowledge about genetic engineering?<br />
*Are you concerned about genetically modified food?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in medicine?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in farming?<br />
*Do you think genetic engineering is reasonable in food?<br />
*Do you think the commentatorship in Germany is neutral?<br />
*Would you eat a genetically modified apple if it was healthier?<br />
*Would you eat a genetically modified apple if it tasted better?<br />

==Improvement of an existing BioBrick: [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K801100 BBa_K801100] ==<br />
In 2012 the [http://partsregistry.org Registry of Standard Biological Parts] defined <partinfo>BBa_J04450</partinfo> as the standard shipping part that is required for submission of backbones, creating the need for a RFC25 compatible standard shipping part.<br><br />
<br />
We extended the standard compability of the RFP coding device (<partinfo>BBa_J04450</partinfo>) to RFC10 and [http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/45140 RFC25] by adding the NgoMIV and AgeI restriction sites into the prefix and suffix of this part. Additionally two AgeI restriction sites that were present in the generator itself were deleted. <br><br><br />
<br />
This part may be used as a standard insert for RFC10 as well as [http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/45140 RFC25] backbones. This improvement became necessary because insertion of <partinfo>BBa_J04450</partinfo> into a RFC25 compatible backbone leads to the deletion of the desired [http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/45140 RFC25] restriction sites that are needed for protein fusions.</div>Nadine1990http://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Munich/Results/BiobricksTeam:TU Munich/Results/Biobricks2012-10-23T13:30:31Z<p>Nadine1990: /* Identification of incorrect BioBricks BBa_K268000g */</p>

<br />
On August 19th, we were invited to give a radio interview at the local students' radio station [http://www.m945.de/ M94,5]. Nadine, Fabian and David presented our project and talked about iGEM and synthetic biology in general. The interview was''' live aired''' during the programm "Kortex", the science magazine of the radio station. You can find the interview on [http://soundcloud.com/m945/kortex-tum-projektteam-igem/ Soundcloud] or listen right here - however, it is only in German: <br />
