Team:SDU-Denmark/Team
Welcome To The Team
Team Mom
Astrid studies biomedicine, enjoys an active lifestyle with frequent biking or jogging and she really loves travelling. However, this poses a problem, because as she puts it: “I have the time, but not the money to travel as much as I want”. She joined iGEM to get an amazing experience, which could strengthen her qualifications in her field, teach her to research, and to be a part of a team with one concerted goal. And joining the big jamboree in Boston, US, was a lovely bonus. Her best experience in iGEM is the ping-pong discussion when things do not succeed, and in the end, when success is based on it. Last she is fond of baking, but the best part of baking is when others enjoy it.
The Wiki Witch
Birka is a fire breathing, number crunching, keyboard typing, soccer playing mathematician. She lives in Odense with her dog, cat and her lovely wife to whom she got married this summer and of course the SDU iGEM team was present at this marvellous event. She has been the one coding up our Wiki-page from scratch. Birka joined the team because she felt it would be an exciting challenge in her mathematical education. The best iGEM experience has been to actually witness the bacterial production of biodegradable plastic, what a wonder! Birkas number one favorite activity is performing fireshows with Cirkus Sort.
