       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Bachelor of Health Sciences <br>Year of Study: Third Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? The chance to travel to Boston with friends!!<br>iGEM Confession: To rehydrate our peptides I had a choice of DMSO in a red falcon tube and TEF buffer in a blue falcon tube. I chose the blue falcon tube.... I regret it since...");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology <br>Year of Study: Fourth Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I joined iGEM because of an intense interest in molecular genetics. iGEM's unorthodox approach to having a student-led research program is super cool, and I couldn't stop myself from applying. <br>iGEM Confession: I wear other people's pants to do experiments sometimes.");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Health Sciences <br>Year of Study: Fourth Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I was attracted to iGEM for the opportunity to be part of a multidisciplinary team. I wanted to have a mix of wet lab work while exploring other fields that I found interesting, particularly website design and basic coding. The other big draw was to be independent and be able to develop an idea into our own project. <br>iGEM Confession: I would rather be climbing.");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology <br>Year of Study: Fifth Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I used to hate biology in grade school. I particularly detested learning about prokaryotic cells because they seemed irrelevant to daily life. In my senior year, I became good friends with my biology teacher, who introduced me to genetics. Without her, I wouldn't have pursued my interest in genetic engineering. I love working in the wet lab, and iGEM presented a perfect opportunity for me to gain experience while being a part of something bigger.<br>iGEM Confession: Sometimes I feel remorse for all of the E. coli and B. subtilis cells I kill during specific protocols, I love cell bio that much.");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Cellular Molecular Microbial Biology <br>Year of Study: Third Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I joined iGEM because I was fascinated by the novelty of the emerging field of synthetic biology as it combines Fundamental research with principles of engineering to design innovative solutions to key issues that affect our lives today. <br>iGEM Confession: Popping bubble wrap is my thing.");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Cellular Molecular Microbial Biology <br>Year of Study: Fourth Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I wanted to learn more about synthetic biology and see what it would be like to design a project from start to finish. <br>iGEM Confession: I didn't really know what iGEM was until I was already on the team.");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Combined degree in Biological Sciences and Psychology <br>Year of Study: Fifth Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I joined iGEM because I have a passion for biological research that has the potential to advance humanity in the long run. iGEM provided a great opportunity for personal growth and insight into the world of synthetic biology, bacterial genetics, and bioengineering. <br>iGEM Confession: I like to think that I've narrowed down the art of scribing and I regularly offer to scribe during team meetings and interviews when in reality it's all a façade :P");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Mechanical Engineering <br>Year of Study: Third Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I wanted to get experience in engineering and biology/medicine. <br>iGEM Confession: That diffusion model took way longer than I expected to understand and code in MATLAB... I wonder whether our engineering P.I. had a good laugh privately because he had to correct me so many times about it.");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Chemical and Petroleum Engineering <br>Year of Study: Third Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I like bio and I do engineering. <br>iGEM Confession: I started many inside jokes to keep the lab a fun place, and I love you guys ♥.");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Biological Sciences <br>Year of Study: Fourth Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM: I joined iGEM as I was intrigued by synthetic biology, a field I was completely unaware of. I thought that iGEM would provide me with a unique opportunity that would allow me to develop a mixture of both soft and technical skills. <br>iGEM Confession: What is life without iGEM?.");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Chemical Engineering with a Specialization in Biomedical Engineering <br>Year of Study: Second Year <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I joined iGEM again because I continue to be intrigued with its novelty. Genetic engineering combines scientific research, engineering principles and imagination to find a new perspective to currently unsolvable problems. iGEM has given me hands on experience to be a part of this process. <br>iGEM Confession: I hoard falcon tubes like nobody’s business in the lab.");

       $('#teamInfo').html("Program: Civil Engineering <br>Year of Study: Third Year<br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I joined iGEM because I know I will be the best version of myself when I finish it, and being part of such a great team with great goals is such a great privilege and experience. So much greatness in a sentence hey <br>iGEM Confession: I am an innocent kid.");

       $('#advisorsInfo').html("Name: Daniel Ziemniak <br> Program: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology <br>Year of Study: Graduate Student <br>Why Did You Join iGEM? I joined iGEM because I like the idea of engineering nature - molding components of our ecosystem according to our wants and needs. Evolution has developed and optimized a plethora of molecular technologies and synbio allows us to harness those tools. <br>iGEM Confession: I spent extra time at festivals this year to get away from the onerous reality of iGEM");

I joined iGEM because it combines two of my favourite disciplines – engineering and biology. With so many applications of synthetic biology, the possibilities are limitless when interdisciplinary teams of students get creative. <br>iGEM Confession: I really wanted this to be a space project. I shared a few articles about the current challenges in human space exploration with the team. All ideas I brought to the table had an application in space exploration. I was beyond excited to learn that this year’s project is space related.");
