We're getting the word out about iGEM and synthetic biology!

iGEM Regional Meetup

On August 18th, the Brown iGEM Team was proud to host the iGEM East Coast Meetup.

Lots of enthusiastic attendees, including the iGEM teams from MIT, McGill (Canada) Cold Spring Harbor, Boston University, as well as Mac Cowell from the Registry!

The teams started out with an icebreaker led by Mac, the infamous egg drop competition. Each team was given a trash bag, a few straws and toothpicks, and a roll of tape. A couple survived!

Each school then gave a short presentation about their progress through the summer. It was great talking with other teams about similar experiences, like problems with protocols, contamination, and the joy of Biobricks.

Then we headed out to dinner and a night on the town!

High Schoolers

July 30, 2007 Deepa and Tito gave a presentation to Brown Summer students and discussed the applications of synthetic biology

July 3, 2007 The iGEM Team met up with Jody Hall's Biotechnology class on July 3rd. Afterwards we toured the lab and discussed the ethics of synthetic biology.


If you're a middle school or high school teacher interested in iGEM, contact Tito@BrowniGEM.com.
