Communication is really important to exchange our ideas while doing our project, thus we attached much attention to talking with many teams in China.
With Nanjing-China
The communication with Nanjing-China was held on April 3th to 5th during the Tomb-sweeping-day vacation in China. The contents contained both projects and some experience about experiments and modeling. And we sincerely appreciated Nanjing-China for their assistance of providing of some key parts for our project. Hope we can develop synthetic biology together with our true friendship.
With XMU
We participated the publication of newsletter firstly held by XMU. The newsletter, published every week as planned, will involve many teams from all over the world to introduce the project of their own and provide some key information and complicated problems of doing experiments. The first newsletter of our team was mainly about the brief introduction of our project and the history of our team. The second one contains the latest breakthrough of our work and puzzles required to be solved. The third letter talked about the organization of our team and the development of our team.
The 2nd International Genetically Engineered Machine Conference in Taiwan
The 2nd International genetically engineering machine conference was held in Hsinchu, Taiwan by National Chiao Tong University (NCTU) and NCTU_Formosa in August 3 to 8.More than 20 teams from Taiwan and Mainland joined the conference for understanding each other and meeting many friends. The conference included official presentations along with Q&A and a poster session. We introduced our project to all, received much valuable advice and learnt much knowledge from other teams. And the host guided us to visit Chi Hu in which Chiang Kai-Shek, the president of ROC, were buried and the National Palace Museum where many treasures and collections sit. We sincerely acknowledge NCTU for their warm serve and we gained a lot through the conference.
Meetup in our school
The meet-up in our school is held up by USTC_Software in August 15-17. 6 teams in China joined the meet-up. We introduced our development and breakthrough of our project so did them. Because this meet-up was mainly built for software improvement, we provide some advice for software team to enhance an user friendly software.
With Peking
In August 21, Peking visited our school and our lab. We sincerely exchanged our project with different aspects including some lab apparatus, modeling and experiment methods.
Communication in China
Distribution of he teams we contacted in China are shown in the following:
Communicating with guys from other teams help us to understand synthetic biology and iGEM better. And we also met more friends and we enjoyed it!
