Today’s society relies more and more on the internet. Since, a vast group of people today widely use Social media for communication, we decided to use Facebook [http://www.facebook.com/iGEM.ETH.Zurich?fref=ts Facebook] and Twitter [http://twitter.com/ETH_iGEM twitter] to share our results, news and updates. This enabled us to reach a large group of people almost instantaneously. Both accounts refer to our wiki where more background information can be found.

We think sharing the news of our project on social media increases the attention given by people to synthetic biology. We observed that for many people, the curiosity increased after seeing a post or a picture with a short description of what we had done on Facebook. We also shared fascinating videos presented by other teams and links to their wikis. Thus, we were able to increase the overall awareness of synthetic biology and iGEM.
