    Awareness

    What is Safety?
    Let me google that for you: Safety, noun,  from Latin 'Salvus'       1. the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury. 
    or in our own words:

    With power comes responsibility

Safety and Security

    iGEM Safety Checks

    Filling in forms:
    We discussed, checked and submitted the 'About-Our-Lab' and 'Safety' iGEM forms.
    Looking it up:
    We made sure that all our substrates were all in 'the White' via the iGEM list (hyperlink to list)

    Public and Environmental Safety: Cambridge and beyond

    To keep with the 'to do no harm' philosophy, nothing we do should have a negative impact on our fellow human beings or environment around us.
    How to achieve this?
    Followed the guidelines
    Recycled
    ...

    Researcher Safety: Our Ten Commandments

    Wet Lab

      Thou shall follow Barbara's (Lab Guru) instructions
      Thou shall follow department guidelines
      Thou shall minimize risks
      Thou shall not take short cuts (which often go wrong and just take longer)
      and above all Thou shall understand WHY ye should follow these commandments.

    Hard Lab

      Our 10 Commandments, being Universal and fully complied to, also apply to the Hard Lab.
    Group reminders was a good way of keeping us on our toes.

    Keeping ourselves Sane :P

    Working in a team can be hard and to let of the steam, we devised some strategies:
      Regular Coffee Breaks!
      Barbecues, to sample Miha's latest chef-d'oeuvre
      and the Big Brother Outlet!

    Into the Future
