Human Practices

For human practices, the University of Calgary team took a few approaches this year. Our first approach was to find out how the government looked at naphthenic acids in tailings ponds and how they regulate their cleanup. This led to a report that we have summarized on the report page. We also visited a school outside of Calgary to promote iGEM and science in general. The Student Union at the University of Calgary jsut sanctioned a new iGEM club that we will be developing. We are hoping to promote iGEM and help attract new members to the team. Two of our current members competed in a presentation competition and exposed a new range of scientists and engineers to the ideas and themes of synthetic biology. Lastly, we are in the process of making a music video. Stay tuned for updates on this after the wiki freeze!
