Team:Aix-Marseille/Press
For the Aix-Marseille team, communication is the pillar of scientific research. For this we devoted ourselves largely to public engagement through several events that seemed to us crucial to carry out our project. During these events we wanted to explain synthetic biology as well as molecular engineering to the general public. In France, GMOs are not appreciated and often this term is scary. Our team wanted to show that GMOs, despite having disadvantages, also have advantages. Therefore we wanted to establish a strong communication with the general public on this subject.
After our commitment through various events in Marseille, we wanted to extend our communication. For that we have to contact the local press, the radio as well as the television channel France 3.
After various interviews about our project and the competition, we had several articles that appeared in various newspapers known in our region as the 20 minutes or La Provence. Regarding television and radio, we had the chance to explain our project to the cameras of the team France 3 Television and discuss our project at the microphones of Radio Grenouille.
