The European Experience, Paris July 2nd to 3rd

The first big journey for our team lead us all the way to Paris, France. Following the invitation by the teams from iGEM IONIS and Evry we packed our suitcases and off we went.

And after a little climbing tour to Montmartre and maybe some Super-Last-Minute poster printing ;), we settled for the night in our shady "lodging" to be ready to showcase our project for the first time publicly.

Early in morning we headed to the event location. First objective: COFFEE,
which ended to be a great challenge than expected. Don't bring a knife (instant coffee) to a gun fight (horde of thirsty, tired students) :D

But after breakfast was aquired things started to get interesting. Dozens of awesome projects from all over Europe and even the UK! It was great to see all those ideas and of course to be able to show our bioprinting project to the world. We also got some helpful tips and hints.

After the poster sessions was over and food was ingested, some interesting panels on ethics and enterpreneurship in synthetic biology followed before it was time for Randy to drop some Brexit jokes.
