In today's society, the use of social media has become a necessary daily activity. Social media is typically used for social interaction and access to news and information, and decision making. It is a valuable communication tool with others locally and worldwide, as well as to share, create, and spread information.For this reason, our presence in social media was strong and continuous since the spring of 2020. We managed to gather many followers that applauded our content and engaged with us frequently.
Our team’s representation can be found in social media through
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn. Our role in social media is to raise
awareness about the iGEM competition and Synthetic Biology, as well as to show our work and
actions to the public. We also followed a more fun way of spreading knowledge and engaging
people with the use of little quizzes, fun facts and famous quotes about science, activities
proven to have helped people learn more effectively. We are proud to have achieved our goal to
share knowledge, while actively interacting with the public, with the use of social media.
To bring attention to biology and sciences via participation, we created more than 70 science
quizzes and
published them on the team’s social media. To create an integrated fun experience for the
public, we added
science fun facts and famous science quotes. The aim was to draw public’s attention to science
and increase
knowledge and understanding via short participatory sessions.
Below there are some of the pictures we posted in our team's instagram during an initiative called "Pic of the Week"!
We also created a series of quizzes for our audience to answer through our Instagram stories feature. Once the duration of the stories ended, we posted the answers to the quizzes so as to educate people.
