2nd Annual Mid-Atlantic Mini-Jamboree
July 22nd, 2016
UMaryland iGEM founded the first Mid-Atlantic Meet-up and hosted four other teams: UVA, William and Mary, Duke, and Rock Ridge High School. Each team gave a 25 minute presentation of their project followed by a Q&A with the audience. We were also fortunate enough to have Special Agent Edward You of the FBI and UMD Professor Raymond St. Leger as guest speakers.
This year we expanded our efforts including more iGEM teams in the Mid Atlantic Area. University of Pittsburg, The US Naval Academy, Willam and Mary, and UVA iGEM Teams joined UMaryland iGEM in sharing ideas and receiving feedback about their projects. We were joined by guest speakers Dr. Eli Groban and Dr. Ganesh Sriram with opening remarks by Dr. Edward Eisenstein.
