Tim is a chemistry student turned molecular biologist for the summer. He's still not quite sure why they let him on the team, but he's learning as he goes and trying to add the skills he has to the momentum of the project. Outside of iGEM (there's an outside?) he used to have a life, but it has been replaced by error propagation and wavefunctions. Still he remembers fondly the times he used to read often, sing as a tenor, lion dance and fulfill his duties as VP communications for the Chemistry Undergraduate Society. He has over the course of the summer fallen for pipette tips, late nights mini-prepping and discussions about parts and devices. iGEM's been a blast and he's glad to be a part of it.
