                                   <p>This is kiwifruit: originally called “yang tao”, “melonette” or Chinese gooseberry. Cultivated in its fuzzy variety from Chinese imports, the fruit proved popular with American military servicemen stationed in New Zealand during World War II, with commercial export to the United States starting after the end of the war. In California, the fruit was rebranded as “kiwifruit” due to its resemblance to New Zealand’s national bird. However, it is not a “kiwi”, which is also the demonym for native New Zealanders. Saying “I’m going to eat a kiwi” implies that you are either a cannibal or planning to dine on an endangered flightless bird.</p>

I am a computer science specialist, but was a member of the wet lab team this year! (makes sense) My interests in bio lie within the field of epigenetics - specifically questions like how DNA methylation is inheritable and chromatin remodelling. Fun fact: I have a pet poodle named Rocky which people find hilarious for some reason.

I was part of the wet lab team this summer and am probably the team member most afraid of sybrsafe (or the only one). Having just started my 4th year in life sciences and being a first time iGEM-er, I really enjoyed learning about the applications of a plasmid-loss system. I love coffee and puns, and trying to miniprep faster than the previous time.
