EVERYONE:

Add something about yourself to the team page; look below.
We should also add something about the 2012 and 2013 teams and their accomplishments.
Jordan - let's see if we can get a nicer pic(s?) of our t-shirt.

Undergraduates

'''Alejandro "Alex" Gutierrez''' - I am a third-year undergraduate neurobiology major, and a new member of the iGEM team. Before joining iGEM, I did research in creating metal nanoparticles to use as catalysts. Besides doing research, I also enjoy cooking, reading, and sleeping.
'''Jordan Monk''' - I am a senior cell & molecular biology major returning from last year's iGEM team. For the past year and a half I have worked on "smell project, something else...". I'm probably in the lab as you're reading this.
'''Catherine "Kate" Mortensen''' - A returning member from the 2013 iGEM team. Kate is awesome and works harder than anyone to make sure that the iGEM team runs smoothly. She will do any task, no matter the difficulty. Also, you need to write about yourself Kate, otherwise I will say even more nice things. -dennis
'''Nathan Shin''' - I'm a third year microbiology major at the greatest university in the entire world. Besides my immense love for all things iGEM, I also enjoy sleeping, playing tennis, and binge watching Netflix. And I also enjoy long walks on the beach.
'''Ella Watkins''' - I am third year at the University of Texas, and striving to earn my Bachelors of Science in Biology. This summer has been such a whirlwind of amazing learning and hands on experience. I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to participate on the iGEM team. I remember my first successful PCR as if it was only 3 months ago… oh wait, it was. Look at that beauty, full of bright bands: [[file:bestpcrever.PNG|thumb|right|150 px| First success! Maybe move this to a notebook section or elsewhere??]]

Advisors

'''Dennis Mishler, PhD''' - Postdoc in the Barrick lab at UT Austin. Dennis has worked on projects relating to synthetic biology and RNA sequence/structures relationships for an undisclosed number of years. He has also worked with undergraduates in the classroom or at the bench for the past several years.
'''Professor Jeff Barrick''' - For
'''Michael Hammerling''' - Us?

=Attributions= Unless otherwise noted, all projects, lab work, and materials were created by the five team members listed above with assistance and oversight from Professor Barrick and Dr. Mishler. Mike Hammerling provided critical input with regards to working with ncAA and the plasmids containing the tRNA sythetase/tRNA pairs. In addition to the iGEM 2014 team members, the following individuals participated in the [https://2014.igem.org/Team:Austin_Texas/human_practices SXSW Create event]. Their assistance included gathering samples, performing experiments and training new iGEM team members, evaluating data sets, and presenting at SXSW (a multi-day all-day event). *'''Razan Alnahhas''' (2013 iGEM team member, graduated class of 2014) **The team would especially like to thank Razan for taking the time to train the new team members who had never previously worked with bacteria. *'''Mike Hammerling''' *'''Ashley Kessel''' The team would also like to thank lab members of the Barrick lab for helpful comments, advice, and suggestions throughout the summer. In particular, they would like to mention Sean Leonard who showed them how to run an SDS protein gel and gave advice on how to handle the ncAA 4-azidophenylalanine (AzF). '''FUNDING''': List Beacon? CSSB? ICMB? BIOCHEM? others?
