Outside the Lab

Getting the word out

Opening the Lab to the public

We invited groups of international summer exchange students to our department. We took the opportunity to introduce them to Synthetic Biology and iGEM, shared our lab experience and organized small demonstration session.
The sessions sparked a lot of interesting questions and enthusiasm.

Meeting with secondary school iGEM teams

We got in touch with St Paul's 2013 iGEM team, who Will knew, and shared iGEM anecdotes and top tips. https://2013hs.igem.org/Team:St_Pauls_London Through them we met the current St Paul 2014 iGEM team and worked towards collaborating with them.

Departmental lunchtime talk

Still to do. We set up a lunchtime talk in our Department to present our work. It was a good practice presentation and a chance to meet and gain advice plant scientists working next to us.

Cafe Synthetic
Cafe Synthetic is a monthly science meetup at the local Panther Arms pub, open to anyone interested in Synthetic Biology. We signed up to present our iGEM project and get some critical discussions going. The event was attended by scientists from diverse fields and Salil's presentation captured everyone's attention. The fish n' chips were also very welcomed! http://www.meetup.com/Cambridge-Synthetic-Biology-Meetup/ Trip to Norwich YSB2.0 Friday Presentation The Cambridge Science Centre
