Week 10 : 29th of August to 4th of September
Monday
The human practices effort has been surprisingly succesful - tracking down a person knowing only their name and alma mater is (disconcertingly) easy with the aid of the internet, and ex-iGEM-ers seem enthusiastic to help out.
The team has had the vague (perhaps impossible) idea of spin-coating a toy car with reflectin as a demonstration of one of the many wonderful applications it could have.
Tuesday
It turns out (with some ruefulness on our part) that the sinister tendrils observed on our slides may have been due to other components in the thin film, not reflectin. On the plus-side, however, we're near-certain that the iridescence of the film itself is due to reflectin, and we're seeing some new unusual behaviours in our latest films (things like oscillating patterns too poorly examined by us to write about yet).
A very detailed social itinerary is being put-together for the Amsterdam trip. To the delight of some and bemusement of others, no time is scheduled for sleep!
