British boutique ice cream maker Lick Me I'm Delicious (yes, that is the company's real name) recently released a glow-in-the-dark ice cream that uses a luminescent protein from glowing jellyfish. The idea? Lick the ice cream and calcium-activated proteins react by glowing, thanks to differences in your mouth's warmer pH level and the ice cream's more neutral pH.

You can make time to attend classes and do your homework in the daytime and you only need to do experiment at nights when you don’t have classes. Basically you don’t have a weekend. With winter and summer vacations together, you can rest for over half a month in total and the intensity of study and doing experiment is nothing less than graduate students……

One iGEMer’s Monologue

If you ask me, will I be busy if I join the iGEM and prepare for competitions, I would say, you are more relaxed on weekdays.

You can make time to attend classes and do your homework in the daytime and you only need to do experiment at nights when you don’t have classes. Basically you don’t have a weekend. With winter and summer vacations together, you can rest for over half a month in total and the intensity of study and doing experiment is nothing less than graduate students……

Besides, I will add, “I’d like to. “after you’re shocked.

To fall in love with iGEM, you need to be absolutely single-minded. When I just became a sophomore, in order to get closer to science, I gave up the chance of keeping on working in the Public Relations Department of BBT. Later I meet iGEM by chance, so I quit my job of Judge Committee in the Red Cross in our school and as for the student work, I only stay in the Party Branch of my major. Later practice proved my choice to be correct, and necessary—in order to accomplish the task of iGEM better, I must make time for it from other affairs, and quitting other job is responsible for old colleagues.

I ‘ve lost my principle since I became a member of PR department. I believe many students who participate in students’ work have such feeling.

Indeed, a reasonably-configured team must consists of members of different personalities and values.Everyone’s experiences that haven’t been gone through by others and ideas that haven’t been heard by others can be shared or gossiped. New ideas will also appear in the process of working together and communication.

Now fluorescent proteins have been already widely used in many scientific research fields, especially in biology. In iGEM, fluorescent proteins are usually used as reporters. What are reporters? The answer is that in synthetic biology, they are often used as a mechanism to display information. For example, fluorescent proteins cause a cell to fluoresce when excited with light of a particular wavelength. What’s more, the iGEM team of Tokyo Tech once used fluorescent proteins to create a pen whose ink is the different genetically engineered bacteria. The bacteria can express different fluorescent proteins so that people can use it to draw many colorful paintings.

Reporters are frequently used to quantify the strength or activity of upstream gene expression parts. Reporters, when fused in frame to other protein coding sequences, can also be used to identify where a protein is located in a cell or organism, which is fully reflected in this year’s project of Team SCUT. Our Team will use the cherry,yellow,blue,green and cyan fluorescent proteins to indicate whether our target proteins reach the right positions of the cell.
