Team:Arizona State/Attributions

Attributions

Thank you to any mentors, professionals, and graduate students that aided us during the span of our iGEM project. We have learned so much from this experience, and truly appreciate all your help and support.

Thanks to our mentors!

Thank you to:

Dr. Karmella Haynes

For being our primary faculty mentor and helping us through every step of this project. It was through your determination and vision that this iGEM project became a reality. From the mounds of paperwork to the numerous team meetings, thank you for everything you have done!

Dr. Emma Frow, Dr. David Nielsen, Dr. Jeremy Mills, Dr. Xiao Wang

For providing mentorship and support throughout this entire process. Thank you for guiding us during the progression of this process and providing valuable input during presentations and meetings.

Thanks to our graduate mentors!

Cassandra Barrett

For always being there for us and always knowing how to help. Your experience with iGEM and constant stream of innovative ideas have been instrumental in the completion of this project. Thank you for running the team meetings, keeping tabs on all team members, and always being willing to help with all facets of this project.

Rene Davis

For always being open to helping out and giving advice. You always provided interesting new perspectives to our project that we would not have thought of, which pushed us to work harder and more meaningfully. Your mentorship has provided us with irreplaceable experiences and skills

★ ALERT!

This page is used by the judges to evaluate your team for the Attributions bronze criterion.

Delete this box in order to be evaluated for this medal. See more information at Instructions for Pages for awards.

Each team must clearly attribute work done by the student team members on this page. The team must distinguish work done by the students from work done by others, including the host labs, advisors, instructors, and individuals not on the team roster.

Why is this page needed?

The Attribution requirement helps the judges know what you did yourselves and what you had help with. We don't mind if you get help with difficult or complex techniques, but you must report what work your team did and what work was done by others.

For example, you might choose to work with an animal model during your project. Working with animals requires getting a license and applying far in advance to conduct certain experiments in many countries. This is difficult to achieve during the course of a summer, but much easier if you can work with a postdoc or PI who has the right licenses.

What should this page have?
  • General Support
  • Project support and advice
  • Fundraising help and advice
  • Lab support
  • Difficult technique support
  • Project advisor support
  • Wiki support
  • Presentation coaching
  • Human Practices support
  • Thanks and acknowledgements for all other people involved in helping make a successful iGEM team
Can we base our project on a previous one?

Yes! You can have a project based on a previous team, or based on someone else's idea, as long as you state this fact very clearly and give credit for the original project.

Team training and Project start

Tell us if your institution teaches an iGEM or synthetic biology class and when you started your project:

  • Does your institution teach an iGEM or synthetic biology course?
  • When did you start this course?
  • Are the syllabus and course materials freely available online?
  • When did you start your brainstorming?
  • When did you start in the lab?
  • When did you start working on your project?
