Created in 1992, the Science Fair is a French national event of scientific popularization. 2017’s topic was “How can we change the preconceived ideas in science ?”. We had the chance to have our own stand to present the iGEM competition as well as our project SnapLab. Our main aim was to popularize synthetic biology and the field in which it is applied.
Our team was contacted by Cyril, a journalist working for the world class radio “NRJ”. On September the 26th, our team was welcomed at NRJ’s studio.
reated in 1992, the Science Fair is a French national event of scientific popularization. 2017’s topic was “How can we change the preconceived ideas in science ?”. We had the chance to have our own stand to present the iGEM competition as well as our project SnapLab. Our main aim was to popularize synthetic biology and the field in which it is applied. We met a lot of different profiles: adults and kids, with or without scientific backgrounds, with or without knowledge in biology… This is why we had to adapt our explanations depending on the type of public we were facing. This allowed us to tremendously improve our scientific communication skills ! As we had the visit of classrooms, from middle and high school level, we also organized quizzes about the basics in biology: “What do you know about DNA ?”, “What is a genetically modified organism ?”. The experience was very enriching and receiving the enthusiasm of the public was extremely gratifying. We were even interviewed and got an article about iGEM project in a newspaper!
Our team was contacted by Cyril, a journalist working for the world class radio “NRJ”. On September the 26th, our team was welcomed at NRJ’s studio. We started by introducing ourselves as well as the iGEM contest and the applications of synthetic biology. Cyril also asked for a little bit more informations on our project, from the administrative part to the fundraising campaign and the scientific realisation of our kit: SnapLab.
This is the new tradition of our university: once a year in September, all students are welcome to the central place of the campus. Many different animations, associations and activities are proposed to the students for free. For the very first time, iGEM Grenoble-Alpes was represented during this event.
Before being able to detect fluorescence that bacteria are going to emit, we have to make sure our system is capable of detecting fluorescence! And, that’s what we did! First time we detected fluorescence, we are on the right direction but still lots of work to achieve!

Many different animations, associations and activities are proposed to the students for free. For the very first time, iGEM Grenoble-Alpes was represented during this event. Despite the bad weather, we met several people interested in SnapLab and low-cost diagnostic kits. At the end of the day, a giant concert took place. We would like to thank the organizers as well as all the people he talked to.

What a better way to thank everyone that supported us so far than organizing an “Apéritif Dinatoire” as we would say in French.
Such a beautiful day for a photoshoot session! So as to present ourselves on our website, we had this idea to take photos in a street art environment. Grenoble hosts each year the Street Art festival, giving us the opportunity to discover amazing piece of arts as well as artists. In the depths of Grenoble’s streets, fun we had!
