SynBioDay: Street Science in Bielefeld
On 28th of June all german iGEM teams were invited to the strategy process „Biotechnologie 2020+“. In Berlin we decided to plan and arrange a common day in all german cities with participating iGEM teams. In the end the SynBioDay took place in Munich (TU and LMU), in Darmstadt, Göttingen, Marburg, Tübingen, Bonn and of course in Bielefeld. To raise public awareness we all agreed to organize the event on 25th of august. The idea behind our common day was to inform public not only about Snythetic Biology, but also about iGEM and our project. We also wanted to show that there are plenty of iGEM teams with great ideas, that's why as part of our collaboration with the iGEM team from the Southern University of Denmark we invited them to present a poster at our booth and to help us with the realization.
In Germany there is an ongoing debate about modern life sciences, especially biotechnology, genetic engineering and synthetic biology and we thought that by informing and explaining we might lower the prejudices (for the german debate about Synthetic Biology see here our discussion with René Röspel, a member of the german parliament).
In Bielefeld we organized the booth in cooperation with [http://www.bielefeld-marketing.de/de/index.html Bielefeld Marketing].
- a microscope to have a look on microorganisms and “wanted poster” for the organisms
- pipettes and lab coats for kids to feel like scientist
- colored water for the kids to pipet and merge
- posters for everyone to understand our project and our approach
- an experiment for DNA extraction
- a video about [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD5uNAMbDaQ Synthetic Biology] (taken from [http://technyou.edu.au/fun-stuff/videos/video-transcripts/ TechNyou]). Credits to the iGEM Team from Bonn for translating, thank you. Click [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bykAeGMMosI here] to watch the video in german.
- Kevin also made a short video about plenty of different microorganisms, showing impressive electromicroscopic pictures (pictures were taken from [http://www.wikipedia.org/ wikipedia] and from working groups of our university.
