In order to spread the word about Synbio, we have created the Biology Synthetic Club, which became the basis of this iGEM team.That´s how the SynBio Brasil blog [http://scienceblogs.com.br/synbiobrasil/] was created and soon incorporated to the largest community of science blogs in Portuguese: ScienceBlogs Brasil [http://scienceblogs.com.br/]. The blog has been viewed more than '''10,000 times''' since January 2012 and remains one of the only resources about SynBio in Portuguese.
