HUMAN PRACTICES

"Science is not made for ouselves" (Niels Bohr in Copenhage)

For human practices we have done a variety of things, mostly dedicated to the dissemination of science within our University, locally in the city of Puebla and nationally through collaborations with other high schools

Law Initiative

During the length of our project, we found that importing chemicals reagents and biological agents that we needed were difficult to pass through customs. In coordination with other Mexican teams, specially Tec-Monterrey Team we propose to a local Deputy Patricia Leal Islas a change in customs law, to make it easier for future iGEMers and other scientists to continue with their investigations. Trough this Virtus-Parva shows as a team it's compromise to help the development of science in Mexico.

The Idea


Copenhagen Play

NEMS are nanometric electromechanical systems. In this case we take as basis the structure of a resonator which are engineered to make a conversión between energy, such as electric, magnetic, or vibrational into mechanical response.

How exactly do NEMS come into play in our project?

Well, by combining an inorganically synthesized nanoparticle, called magnetite and DNA into what we call BioNEMS drill.

Manuals

We also found that being the first iGEM team from our university was not an easy task, advice from a past iGEMer would have been very helpful. Other teams noticed this as well, in particular, Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey Campus Estado de México. In cooperation with them, we decided to write an extensive manual for future iGEM teams that need to consult on the mechanics of the contest and need a little push to continue teams in their own universities. This manual talks about an administrative section as well as a lab section. We have made 3 volumes named : "Good laboratory practices an iGEM laboratory work handbook", "The iGeM’s [unofficial, yeT (hopefully) very efficienT] TeaM Manual", " PARTS REGISTRY HANDBOOK: A Guideline into iGEM standardized parts
