Wang Zhizheng met the head of the project of CUHK. We have a very fruitful discussion and a nice lunch in Shanheng College. We have a deep-going talk about the problems we faced in the experiments and the solutions and how to design a fantastic project. We gained some useful advice and experience. Meanwhile we talked about the expenses of the project.

This day, we had a online communication with the team leader of HKU. It is so nice of him to talk with us after a tired travel. We mainly talk about the team construction and HP work. We also exchange our own opinions about the development and continuity of iGEM team. Afterwards, we often have online talks with each other. It’s of great efficiency.

We determined to cooperate with the Innovation Club for Science and Technology of SCUT. We planned to use their “Wechat” public platform to issued our original electronic magazine，”iGEM Life”. The club is the biggest academic innovation club for science and technology, which is affiliated to Dean’s Office. Its public platform has a lot of members including students, teachers and staffs, which enjoys a high level of popularity. So we planned to use its great impact to introduce synthetic biology and iGEM. We planned to issue 2-3articles every 5 days.

Two delegates of GENEWIZ were invited to our lab. We showed them around our labs and told them our project and what we were doing. We introduced synthetic biology and iGEM to them in order to gain some donation. Finally, we really gained their donation.

On the same day, we released the first questionnaire towards the faculties who are engaged in the area of bioscience research. The title is Approving Degree Questionnaire of The iGEM Project of Cellular Compartmentalization. The questionnaire aims at reflecting the approving degree of our idea.

We talked about many things including some macro contents such as project, team construction, HP work and the outlay. Besides, we also discussed some concrete contents such as the modeling software we used, the design of the main gene circuit, the schedule and so on. We feel so grateful for their king consideration!

Our team leader named Zhang Junjie and another two delegates made a wonderful report for almost 500 teenagers and high school teachers who comes from five different provinces. We introduced synthetic biology, iGEM competition and our project to them. It aroused their great interests. Many high school students said they wanted to major in biology and participated in iGEM competition in the future.

On this day, we joined iGEM China Community. Here are a lot of iGEMers around China. We usually discuss some experiment problems with them.
