<p class=text3><b>This biweekly iGEM newsletter is cofounded by the Paris-Bettencourt team and the Xiamen University team in June. Through the three and half months, we had four regular issues, one special issue that includes interviews of past judge and iGEMer, and one student review session of the judging process.</b><br><br> There were more than 30 teams involved, from more than eight countries and regions. The regular issues have two major parts: project update and team member introduction. The teams wrote about one of the parts every two weeks, asked questions they want feedback on, and provided insights about other teams’ projects.</p>
+
<p class=text3><b>Rather than saying we started the newsletter, we would like to think that the newsletter idea came to us.</b> In May 2014, before we officially started working on the project, we got an email from the Xiamen University iGEM team, looking for cooperation. The original idea was to translate our website. However, we wanted to have something more interactive and updated. “Why not doing a newsletter for iGEM” came naturally into mind. After talking to Xiamen University team, we decided newsletter is not only a good option to follow up with each other’s project, but also can develop into a system of peer review. To reach the goal of constant communication, networking among young synthetic biologists and establishing a real-time peer review system, we decide to publish one issue of newsletter every two weeks. The focus of one issue would either be team member introduction or project update. Each team can ask questions about their project that they want feedbacks on. Some of the questions are scientific, while a large portion of them is about ethical and philosophical discussions. We, as the organizer of the newsletter, collected the answers and distributed them to teams accordingly. Later, thanks to the contribution from other teams and continue brainstorming of cooperation, we did a student review session of the questions that iGEM judges use to grade teams.</p>
-
                 <p class=text3>We hope that through this activity, the teams are able to keep better record of their own projects, gain feedback from their peers and get to know other young synthetic biologists. It is a system of real-time peer review. We also try to provide the iGEM organization interesting feedbacks of how students regard the judging standard.</p>
+
                <p class=text3>In total, we had four regular issues, one special issue that includes interview of past judge and iGEMers, and one student review session of judging process. There are more than 30 teams involved through the process, from more than 8 countries and regions. Students have used the newsletter as a platform of pursuing further cooperation in specific projects, of promoting special events and even of building friendship with people sharing similar interests. </p>
 +
                 <p class=text3>We would call the newsletter a successful project and meaningful cooperation if iGEMers have found supports, feedbacks and networks through it. It brought us to talk to iGEMers from China, Germany and Switzerland, which we found interesting and encouraging. One of the most valuable resources in synthetic biology is the mind of people involved. Through the newsletter, we tried to maximize the contribution of such intelligent mind to benefit not only iGEM projects, but also, to provide useful feedback to the judges and to further discussion in synthetic biology in general. </p>

Rather than saying we started the newsletter, we would like to think that the newsletter idea came to us. In May 2014, before we officially started working on the project, we got an email from the Xiamen University iGEM team, looking for cooperation. The original idea was to translate our website. However, we wanted to have something more interactive and updated. “Why not doing a newsletter for iGEM” came naturally into mind. After talking to Xiamen University team, we decided newsletter is not only a good option to follow up with each other’s project, but also can develop into a system of peer review. To reach the goal of constant communication, networking among young synthetic biologists and establishing a real-time peer review system, we decide to publish one issue of newsletter every two weeks. The focus of one issue would either be team member introduction or project update. Each team can ask questions about their project that they want feedbacks on. Some of the questions are scientific, while a large portion of them is about ethical and philosophical discussions. We, as the organizer of the newsletter, collected the answers and distributed them to teams accordingly. Later, thanks to the contribution from other teams and continue brainstorming of cooperation, we did a student review session of the questions that iGEM judges use to grade teams.

In total, we had four regular issues, one special issue that includes interview of past judge and iGEMers, and one student review session of judging process. There are more than 30 teams involved through the process, from more than 8 countries and regions. Students have used the newsletter as a platform of pursuing further cooperation in specific projects, of promoting special events and even of building friendship with people sharing similar interests.

We would call the newsletter a successful project and meaningful cooperation if iGEMers have found supports, feedbacks and networks through it. It brought us to talk to iGEMers from China, Germany and Switzerland, which we found interesting and encouraging. One of the most valuable resources in synthetic biology is the mind of people involved. Through the newsletter, we tried to maximize the contribution of such intelligent mind to benefit not only iGEM projects, but also, to provide useful feedback to the judges and to further discussion in synthetic biology in general.
