Description
New England iGEM, or NEGEM, is a gathering of teams from the New England and the Northeast. The Third Annual NEGEM meet up was actually be a 3-fold event spread throughout the course of the summer and fall.
June Meetup: Friday, June 20, 2014
The first meetup focused on discussing the teams' ideas and plans for the summer to give teams the chance to get feedback at the start of their projects. Participants included BostonU, Harvard BioDesign, MIT, Rutgers, Tufts, and WPI Worcester. Teams presented a brief overview of their project along with their specific summer goals, then discussed alternative ways to approach their projects, and ended the day with brainstorming ways for the teams to collaborate on either experiments or policy and practices (or both!). We also held a discussion session where students from the six iGEM teams discussed ways they use, or could use, software in their projects. Dr. Traci Haddock, the BostonU Team Advisor, also went through some of the "fine print" associated with iGEM and helped answer questions from the new iGEM teams.
August Meetup: Wednesday, August 6, 2014

The second NEGEM meet up had 5 teams present their work up to that point and talked about progress and challenges in particular. We also had a discussion about the Giant Jamboree presentations and posters. Students broke into groups and discussed the pros and cons of each team's presentation and project. During the second NEGEM, students were asked to fill out a presentation questionnaire to get teams thinking about their slides in more detail. The PDF of the questionnaire is below.

October Meetup: Saturday, October 4, 2014
The October meet up will follow the format of the First and Second NEGEM meetings. Teams will come together for an afternoon (usually on a Saturday due to class schedules) to formally present their work in preparation for the Giant Jamboree. We'll also set aside time for each team to discuss their plans for their posters. Each team will leave this meet up with a stack of "feedback forms", which will be filled out by the other attendees. These forms have a handful of questions focusing on the clarity and aesthetics of the presentation, with a particular focus on how data is presented.
