California Academy of Sciences

SCIENCE IN ACTION VIDEO COMING SOON! FILMING ON 10/12/2012

Our team knew from the get go that we wanted to make a significant effort to bring synthetic biology, specifically our story, out to the public through some visual media. Luckily, an amazing opportunity came to us: making a video production with the California Academy of Sciences. At the San Mateo Maker Faire, a representative from the California Academy of Sciences’ Visualization Studio was fascinated by our project and suggested we collaborate.

We met with the Morrison Planetarium Director, a Visualization Studio Producer, and a Science in Action Producer on August 2nd. After our engaging day of meetings there it was ultimately decided that we would do a video news story to be published/aired by the Academy’s Science in Action, something we are very excited about. The filming and interviews of our team will occur on Oct. 12 right before iGEM’s regional competition. The video will be made and published several weeks later, which we hope will be a very effective mode of bringing the creativity and wonder possible with synthetic biology to the public.
