UiOslo IGEM 2014

Events

Career day at the university - April 24th

We had a stand on the career day for the Institute of Biosciences. There we met students and talked with them about possibilities within synthetic biology, and specifically about the IGEM competition.

Stand at the career day.

Masterpub - April 24th

After the career day the student society Realistforeningen had an event called "Masterpub", where the goal is to inform students about what they can do during their master degrees. There we spoke about IGEM!

Håkon talks about IGEM at Masterpub.

Nanoschool - August 7th

The material sciences department at the University of Oslo has invited high school students to do a one week summer course in nanotechnology. Elina held a lecture for these pupils about Bio-nanotechnology and iGEM was a part of this lecture to show students that they can do research at a fairly early level in their studies.

Speech for new students - August 11th

Elina held a speech for the new students at the nanotechnology-program about opportunities as a student. Naturally iGEM was a part of this speech.

Synthetic Biology Day - August 25th

As a part of a science library arrangement, we had 6 presentations about iGEM in general for new biology students.

Vilde talks about our project.

Lecture by Drew Endy in Trondheim - August 25th

We were invited by The Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board to go to Trondheim and listen to a presentation by Drew Endy. A post-presentation conversation with Mr. Endy, the Trondheim iGEM Team and us was set up with an audience. The event was filmed by NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) Additionally we were “flies on the wall” during a radio interview of Mr. Endy.

Seminar on IGEM for geologists - September 12th

One of the science groups in geology holds friday-seminars. They heard about iGEM and wanted a lecture about the project in one of their friday-seminars.

Another Synthetic Biology Day - September 16th

Altough in a smaller scale this time, we had 3 talks about IGEM and our project for new biology students at our university. Trying to make sure there will be IGEM teams from The University of Oslo in the years to come!

Stian talks about IGEM.

Talk on science communication - September 19th

We held a speech at the Litterature house before a debate about science communication. Elina talked about iGEM and our media experiences.

Ungforsk (translated: Yound Science) - September 23rd-24th

Ungforsk (translated: "Young Science") is a part of Forskningsdagene (translated: "Science Days" arranged by the Research Council of Norway. We gave 6x45 min presentations to in total 300 junior high school pupils. The response was good and the teenagers was excited and interested in the field.

Stian talks about IGEM.
