iGEMers on iGEM
The iGEM competition gathers hundreds of undergraduates together to explore the potential of synthetic biology. What happens to iGEM alumni after the Jamboree? Does the experience of such a unique summer project change the career paths of iGEM students? What becomes of all the innovation and hard-won expertise developed whilst building biobricks?
To answer these questions, the 2011 Cambridge team conducted a census of iGEM alumni. Take the questionnaire here, or see our discussion of the results.
Some previous iGEMers were generous enough to grant us interviews, allowing us to record their experiences of life after iGEM. As well as providing the quotes and case studies in our report, you can see excerpts from their interviews. (With thanks to Veronica Ranner for assistance in filming and editing)
Why talk to iGEMmers?
The experiences of those who do iGEM is logged in wikis and wetwork and BioBricks, but we think more emphasis should be placed on looking at the long term influence of an intense summer of synthetic biology.
