Meet the Team

Age? 20

What do you enjoy aside from science? I enjoy keeping fit and cooking yummy meals! I am also into photography, fashion, travelling, hanging out…. I am just interested in anything interesting really!
Why iGEM? You get to learn loads by working with others! iGEM is all about collaborating with experts from different fields, a good team-working environment is crucial to develop an outstanding project. On top of that, it also allows you to be creative! Can’t get any better than pioneering Synthetic Biology and also developing a project that can make a difference.
Is the glass half-empty or half-full? Being pessimistic is great! I prefer preparing for the worst, so if things don’t go as planned I won’t get disappointed. Is this weird?
Hot or cold? Hot during the summer, cold during the winter, just right :)

What languages do you speak? Spanish, English, and I also like to say I can speak a hint of German.
Lab name? Pending...
Age? Almost 20
Where are you from? Beijing
What do you enjoy aside from science? Ice-skating, badminton, perhaps also stupify myself with some cooking inventions...?
Why iGEM? Cause I like jewellery :)
Is the glass half-empty or half-full? It depends.
Hot or cold? About room temperature.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Hard question. But I always wanted to be a great traveller and build a jungle tree house of my own. Plus live a self-contained ecolife, i.e. be a farmer.

Is the glass half-empty or half-full? Doesn’t matter either way.
Hot or cold? There’s no such thing as ‘hot’ or ‘cold’, just ‘too hot’ and ‘too cold’.

Why iGEM? I was bored.
Is the glass half-empty or half-full? N/A; my glass never drops below three quarters.
Hot or cold? To tackle this age-old question I have been dedicating my knowledge to develop a radical new temperature, using both hot and cold elements, which I have dubbed “hold”.

Why iGEM? Because I really wanted to work on a big scale SynBio project with a potential life outside of the lab. I also wanted to work in a team with likeminded people in order to create something awesome. Free trip to the US doesn’t hurt either.
Is the glass half-empty or half-full? It’s broken; I’m too clumsy.
Hot or cold? As long as I’m wearing the right clothes, either works.
