Biobrick workshop at DTU (2nd of May - 4th of May)
Our team was lucky to participate in the BioBrick workshop at DTU in Copenhagen, which took place over a full weekend in the spring. The program for the weekend included Safety, USER cloning, general information on iGEM, wiki design and editing, and social events. Our team had not been in the wet-lab at that time, some had not even had a pipette in hands before, so this weekend was a really good introduction to the laboratory, with a good mix of theory and practice. We learned a lot and had very much fun - many thanks to the DTU-Denmark team for teaching us how to make USER cloning and for hosting a great workshop.
Interactive lecture: how to find information
We had a visit from people form the library that taught us how to optimize the search of information in different sources, such as Web of Science, Compendex, Encyclopedia of Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine, Ullmann, etc. Thanks a lot to them for their time and great help!
The enneagram: discover your type (5th of June)
We had a complete day course on “The enneagram” , which is a tool to identify types of personalities. We did this to strengthen the personal bounds between the group, to get aware of our own up-and downsides and to gain awareness of how to use this knowledge in favor of our team and project. Thank you very much to Jane, from the company “Trivselsforum” for her uninterested help!
Ethics workshop at KU (21st of August)
Three girls from our team participated in the Ethics Workshop in Copenhagen organized by the UNIK-Denmark team. Our project encourages many ethical issues and the workshop was therefore very suitable and beneficial. We learned a lot about dealing with ethical issues in synthetic biology and got many good inputs to an ethics-related discussion about our project. In addition to this we also got in touch with relevant people and organizations that have been able to help us continue with our human practices. We would like to thank the UNIK-Denmark team for the invitation and their work - it has been a very nice workshop.
iGEM meet-up in London hosted by YSB (1st of September - 2nd of September)
Our team was very lucky and extremely pleased to be able to participate in the British iGEM Meet up organized by YSB (Young Synthetic Biologists) in collaboration with the UCL-team. The event was an excellent preparation for the Giant Jamboree because we could rehearse our presentation, and make a first try to design a poster. In addition, we got the opportunity to hear about other teams' projects. We also participated in 6 different workshops: Intellectual Property, Human Practices, Characterization, Public Engagement, Citizen Science, BioArt The other iGEM teams were very helpful to give us constructive criticism and many good ideas for future work. Additionally, there were a lot of friendly participants who helped by filling in our questionnaire. Our team gained very much by attending the event : It was both fun and educational. We would like to thank YSB (Young Synthetic Biologists) and the UCL-team for two fantastic days in London.
