August 15th. We took part in the University-wide Summer Plant Project day organized by the Sainsbury's Lab. This propelled us to finalize our poster and clarify our core project focus. We presented ___name of Project__ amongst another 30 groups. Explaining our project and getting feedback from people outside our lab helped a lot in highlighting what we should keep or better in our presentation. You can never get too much practice for the Jamborees!

19th June. We kicked off the summer by joining the Oxford iGEM conference organized by the Oxford iGEM team.
It was a great chance to meet other teams. We connected especially well with the Irish team working on Cystic Fibrosis and look forward to seeing them again at the Jamborees!

The buzz of the conference was energizing and revealed the collaborative philosophy of iGEM as opposed to individualistic competition.

11th July. Old Cambridge-iGEM team members were kind enough to come by the lab and share some words of wisdom. It was striking to here how their iGEM summer had changed their career path. Theo Sanderson from the E.Glowli 2010 iGEM team gained a pHD post in part thanks to his experience.

8th Augut. The UEA 2014 iGEM team are also pioneering plants in the iGEM competition. We met up in Norwich to discuss what common standards we should follow and set for future teams. Together we submitted a new RFC promoting a new plan specific vector backbone compatible with both MoClo and BBa standards.
