Have you ever tried to estimate the kilometers travelled by your team during this summer?
According to our calculations, one member walks approximately 4 kilometers per day all around the laboratory. This represents 5544 kilometers for the whole team during the 126 days of this epic adventure. What does that mean exactly? Simply that we could walk, cycle, swim or whatever you want until Kazakhstan, Russia, Kenya… We could even have reached the USA but we decided to stay in the lab and take the plane to go to Boston!
What do trees lining the “Canal du Midi” think about SubtiTree?
According to our homemade impartial survey, 94% of the questioned plane trees approve our project and are interested in serving as guinea pigs for our new bacterial medicine. This percentage represents 41 580 trees which are also gathered in the association called: “Happy tree friends“.
Multidisciplinary…Yes we are!
Housework in our laboratory became necessary when most of people were in vacations except us. But do you know the novelty this year in our team? Times are changing because now men are cleaning! ;-)
The unmissable event this summer: The football World Cup 2014!
From 06/12/14 to 07/13/14, the Toulouse iGEM Team was cheering on the French team. During the games of the French team, our group was juggling with wet lab and large screen projection! Despite our support, the French team didn’t win the World Cup. However, we have not said our last world yet: let’s see what will happen in 2018… ;-)
Have you ever forgetten a culture tube or a petri dish?
Never? Let us show you what happens in this case!
