Informal Information Evening
On Friday the 26th of September we hosted an open evening for friends, family and other interested parties to inform them of the essence of synthetic biology, its opportunities and challenges and our iGEM project. During the evening we gave two presentations, one on synthetic biology in general (Dutch or English) and one on our project specifically (Dutch or English). To see whether or not we helped our guests better understand synthetic biology we also took various tests, which were part of a social experiment. Below some pictures are shown in order to give an impression of the evening.

In our opinion the evening was quite successful and we are glad we could share our enthusiasm for synthetic biology with the community. We hope we have presented synthetic biology and our iGEM project in a way that was understandable to everyone present the evening of the 26th of September. If there are questions about the content of the lectures, please contact the presenters of the lectures.
