- | <br>On June 19th 2014, the Oxford iGEM team invited all of the teams in the UK and Ireland to talks in the Oxford University Biochemistry Department, including a talk by the CEO of iGEM Randy Rettberg; 'Synthetic Biology - Short Past and Long Future'. The event was attended by 15 iGEM teams as well as Oxford University undergraduates and postgraduates. We would like to thank Randy Rettberg, Dr. Richard Kelwick and Dr. Jarek Bryk for their insightful and entertaining talks. Later in the afternoon came the first opportunity for the the UK and Irish teams to get to know each other, initially by chatting over sandwiches before moving out of the department to the less formal setting of the pub. Our thanks to all those who attended and we hope this is the start of many successful team collaborations to come! Thank you also to The Oxford Society for Synthetic Biology (SynOx)for their help in co-organising the event. | + | <br>On June 19th 2014, the Oxford iGEM team invited all of the teams in the UK and Ireland to talks in the Oxford University Biochemistry Department, including a talk by the CEO of iGEM Randy Rettberg; 'Synthetic Biology - Short Past and Long Future'.
