Collaborations
Interviews
Marie Matos from the EPFL iGEM team contacted us in September if we would be interested in a collaboration through an interview on Skype. Always interested in the projects of the other teams, this gave us an ideal opportunity to gain information on their project by the team members themselves. We also had a chance to talk about our own project, with a subteam consisting of three of our master students, and our advisor. Not only was this interview a lot of fun to do, and did we meet two new awesome people, they also published the interview on their igem.today site, where we are team of the week of 21 September. Under this text, you can see a picture of both of our teams during the Skype call, and our participation badge.
Meetings
In the week of 29 August, our advisor Steven went to Lausanne to meet up with EPFL iGEM team. They had a barbecue together on which both teams elaborated on their projects. Steven had a lovely day, with lots of new insights on how we can improve Dewpal (which can be found under Human Practices). He also learned many new things about synthetic biology, with which he was not familiar. This sparked an interest in him to start exploring this, for him, new field, and even looked into taking a class on this subject.
Surveys
As iGEM is also about gaining new knowledge, we participated in two surveys from fellow teams, namely the University of Virginia and the Paris-Saclay team. Not only provided these surveys us with a lot of new knowledge, we also could help another team by this, as all these answers contributed to giving them a more clear view on how others look at their projects and the subjects they touch. As a proof on this collaboration, both teams gave us a button.
