−
As with other great scientists from history, (looking at you, Sir Isaac), Mark’s inspiration for inquiry began with an apple tree.
+
              <span style="font-size:17px">As with other scientists, (looking at you, Sir Isaac), Mark’s inspiration for inquiry began his curiosity about the seasonal changes of his favorite backyard apple tree. He has plans to pursue a career in biochemistry. Mark worked on the mutagenesis synthetase modeling and gathering LCMS data this summer.   
−
In his youth, Mark was always fascinated by the seasonal changes of his favorite backyard apple tree.  
+
                  Outside of the lab, you will likely find Mark working on his car while simultaneously reading his favorite Nietzsche novel.</span>
−
Mark wanted to know where the tree came from, why it was always changing, and how it “knew” when to change.
+
−
This curiosity lead him on a quest for knowledge that later turned into plans for a career in biochemistry.  
+
−
Mark is highly dedicated to his work and conveys a genuine, unyielding enthusiasm for physical science.
+
−
Also, he provides strong leadership and guidance to our team.   
+
−
This is not surprising, considering that along with Raquel and Madeleine, Mark completes our triumvirate of INTJ masterminds.
+
−
Outside of the lab, you will likely find Mark climbing epic rock faces while simultaneously reading his favorite Nietzsche novel.
+
−
Although a member of the Virginia iGEM team, Mark’s interest in machines reaches beyond those that are genetically engineered – he enjoys working on his car during his free time.
+
−
When searching for inspiration, Mark turns to his favorite sci-fi movies like Jurassic Park – the inspiration for this year’s project – to find new ideas.
+
−
Guided by an imperative to improve the quality of human life, Mark tweaks scientific fantasies into feasible realities.

−
From a young age, Kelli struggled with the choice of pursuing a career in either mathematics or physical science.
+
                This summer, Kelli was involved in policy interviews and write-ups, the design of the wiki, and wet lab tasks.  
−
An avid reader in her youth, Kelli was particularly inspired by one book.  
+
Inspired by Ayn Rand’s “Anthem”, she has decided to pursue a career overseas in engineering.
−
Ayn Rand’s “Anthem” sparked Kelli’s passion for benevolent invention.
+
Whether it’s playing volleyball, walking forest trails with her dog, or enduring the frustrations of Pictionary with close friends, Kelli values fun, novelty, and the freedom to explore the natural world… just don't ask her to play contact sports.
−
She determined that through engineering, she can pursue a career that involves both science and mathematics, guided by the principles of innovative design and optimization.
+
Wherever Kelli’s journey leads her, the road will be paved with a healthy balance of IR-spectra, SDS sheets, and good humor.
−
Behind this calculating engineer is an adventurer with global ambitions.

−
Nivedha is one of the few remaining descendants of the revered Kannapadi bloodline.  
+
Nivedha, an adventurous spirit, is passionate about all things health. In the seventh grade, Nivedha recorded a country mixtape to send to Nashville record labels in pursuit of stardom. Unfortunately, this endeavor was futile, so she resigned to a life dedicated to science. During our project, she led the human practices team and worked on the cleavage enzyme BioBrick. In her free time, she enjoys going on road trips, having conversations with people and coercing her friends to go to the library with her.
−
Growing up in the American South, she quickly developed an affinity for country music.
+
</span></p>  
−
As her musical ambitions progressed, Nivedha realized she could use her growing popularity to instigate cultural change.
+
−
Nivedha is an advocate for vegetarian diets.
+
−
She believes in sourcing food through sustainable, local channels.
+
−
She recently released her first studio LP titled “The Key of Vitamin C”.  
+
−
The album includes tracks such as: “Spuds on the Run”, “Ode to Celery”, and “Orange You Glad You Bought My Album?”.
+
−
Aside from her musical prose, Nivedha finds inspiration in the little things.
+
−
During lab days, she will often walk around the UVa grounds, finding inspiration in mundane phenomena.
+
−
She once returned to lab infatuated with an empty carton of orange juice.
+
−
She progressed to draw beautiful analogies between the carton and a tRNA synthetase enzyme.  
+
−
She uses a delicate speech cadence that presents itself as unintended poetry.
+
−
Her long-term goal is to become an MD with an emphasis on women’s health.
+
−
Nivedha will lead global efforts to improve women’s health, inspiring and enlisting followers to develop a healthier world.

−
The catalytic event that inspired Dan to pursue a career synthetic biology was comically simple.
+
In seventh grade, Daniel watched a video on synthetic biology hosted by SciShow and became intrigued. On our project, he focused his time on characterization of the cleavage enzyme and the development of our mutagenesis software script.  
−
In seventh grade he watched a video on synthetic biology hosted by SciShow, a scientific YouTube channel.  
+
Don’t be surprised if you find him locked into a late night battle with docking software or zombies online.
−
Dan became incredibly interested in the topic from this video, and from then on made it his goal to participate in this type of research.
+
With eight years of trumpet experience and a seat in Charlottesville Symphony Orchestra, Daniel supplements his scientific endeavors with a love for music.  
−
Coming to UVa in his first year, Dan already had plans to join the iGEM team and saw these plans come to fruition.
+
Daniel is an exemplar renaissance man with interests in cats, cooking, and fiction-writing; he stands to be a character as multidimensional as the conceivable universe.
−
One look at Dan and you would assume he’s into modeling – this is true, but not the kind you might think.  
+
−
Don’t be surprised if you find him locked into a late night battle with docking software, optimizing every possible configuration.
+
−
His software battles can also be recreational; Dan is a skilled video game player and an online force to be reckoned with.
+
−
Dan’s knowledge of keys extends beyond his computer.  
+
−
With eight years of trumpet experience and a seat in the UVa orchestra, Dan supplements his scientific endeavors with a love for music.
