Jovita Byemerwa
I am from Tanzania, and I am currently in my third year at Brown University concentrating in Computational Molecular Biology. This summer, I worked on the biodegradability project and the Human Practices of UAVs. My huge interest is in languages: I love learning them, speaking them and even teaching them. I speak Kiswahili (which is my mother tongue), English (of course), Italian and a bit of Spanish.

Benjamin Doughty
Ben is a sophomore at Brown University intending to concentrate in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Over the summer he worked on the Cellulose Acetate and Amberless Hell Cell projects. In high school he took home third place at a curling tournament, and he can sing the alphabet backwards.

Jotthe Kannappan
Hello! I am a small and energetic junior in bioengineering at Stanford University. This summer, I worked with wasp proteins in material waterproofing and biomaterials on the production of cellulose acetate. When I'm not pipetting, I can be found humming obnoxiously, dancing, or curled up with a good book.

Raman Nelakanti
Hello! I am the captain of the SBS iGEM team. I recently graduated from Stanford with a major in Bioengineering and worked on the Amberless Hell Cell project this summer. Outside of science, my interests include singing, hiking, exploring, and living life. And one random fact about me - I once serenaded Justice Sandra Day O'Connor!

Dr. Lynn Rothschild
Lynn is the lead scientist in synthetic biology at NASA Ames Research Center where her lab has been working on cool projects ranging from the search for life in the universe and extremophiles, to pioneering how synthetic biology can be used to address NASA's missions. She is also an adjunct professor at Brown University, inter alia, Brown Home Page. Her lab looks forward to hosting the team every year as they pioneer ways to take synthetic biology literally "out of this world".
