The students of iGEM-IIT Madras realized the rising popularity of popular science and decided to venture into this by writing about new and upcoming areas of scientific research.

Research Magazine

    The students of iGEM-IIT Madras realized the rising popularity of popular science and decided to venture into this by writing about new and upcoming areas of scientific research. This inspired many of our non-iGEM peers as well and with a sufficient number of articles, we launched a research magazine called ‘Synkranti’ for the students of the Department of Biotechnology of our university. The name derives from Synthetic Biology and Kranti which is a Sanskrit word that means revolution. The first edition of the magazine being initiated by iGEM is a special issue with focus on “synthetic biology”. The magazine consists of the following sections:
    Current research
    Interviews with professors
    Internships
    iGEM





    Current research
    With so many advancements in various fields in science, our popular science writing team comprising of iGEMers and non-iGEMers decided to write articles in the following topics: Car-T cell therapy, Astrocytes, CRISPR

    Interviews with professors
    The Department of Biotechnology at IIT Madras agreed to support our initiative and thus, we also begun to interview our PIs and other professors that supported this. Our primary PIs spoke to us about their views on synthetic biology and iGEM. They also gave us an overview of the start of their research career and motivation to pursue their current fields of research. We then interviewed other professors about their research and views.

    Internships
    Student internships are a critical part of our undergraduate research experience in IIT Madras. Many of us visit Indian universities while some also visit other countries to work on exciting projects for 10 weeks. The internship section is a collection of articles and memoirs of summer research projects undertaken by the students.

    iGEM
    We added an ‘exclusive’ iGEM section in the magazine in order to explain our current project and initiatives like ‘language project’ to our peers. We interviewed our instructor Dr. Anantha Bharathi on synthetic biology and elaborated on our project for this year. The article on Language Project includes a detailed account of work that went behind ‘Language Project’ from drawing images to collaborating and public engagement. We also have an article on Biosecurity from one of our members that attended the session by FBI at the Giant Jamboree 2017.



    Articles on Medium
    In order to reach a wider audience we decided to publish some of our articles onto our medium blog. The blog can be found here:
