10. Completed: Improve the function OR characterization of an existing BioBrick Part or Device (created by another team or your own institution in a previous year)

BBa_K1396001: improvement on Utah State biobrick which consists of only the LL-37 biobrick

11. Completed:Help any registered iGEM team from another school or institution by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.

Held a Skype conference with Utah State on October 24th, 2014 so that we could share our ideas with the Utah State iGEM Team and also hear about their project. Since our projects both involve use of antimicrobial peptides, we thought this would be a great way to provide feedback and suggestions for each of our projects.

Submitted a 50 mL Water Sample taken from Mill River in New Haven, CT, to Cornell iGEM to help with their project goals 12. iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Describe an approach that your team used to address at least one of these questions. Evaluate your approach, including whether it allowed you to answer your question(s), how it influenced the team’s scientific project, and how it might be adapted for others to use (within and beyond iGEM). We encourage thoughtful and creative approaches, and those that draw on past Policy & Practice (formerly Human Practices) activities.
