  Lazy excuse of a doctoral student who spends all his time reading any research paper except those about the topic
  he’s ought to study. Quite knowledgeable about entomology, marine biology and world mythology, can read hieroglyphics.
  Still a worthless researcher because he’s supposed to do microbiology work. Special skills
  include using his rubber gloves as a sling to shoot.
  Eppendorf tubes with remarkable accuracy and reading while walking on difficult terrain (our faculty is
  on top of a hill and surrounded by a forest for some reason, there's a lot of difficult terrain here.)

It is Burcu from Bilkent University, Institute of Material Science and Nanotechnology. I am very proud of being a
member of Bilkent UNAM Turkey team because I think; here we reflect the real team spirit. Here is a brief
information about me: I spent every minute of me by listening music! Nothing makes me happy like talking with
people. I do love sports activities if I can bring down my laziness. Reading books is not for me but reading
articles has become my pleasure for a long time. As many members of my team, it is my first IGEM participation.
I hope we will rock the IGEM world with our endless energy and success!

  The picture you look represents me. And that is all.
  By the way, i like playing computer games such as DotA, TF2 and AoE2 and also -while playing-
  I love characterizing other players. In order to do so, I may sometimes change, replace or insert some DNA into computer games,
  I mean the source code. Some calls this cheating, but I swear it is not.

  I am Tarkan and one of the member of the Bilkent – UNAM – Turkey team. I love watching and playing sports especially
  football and basketball just as usual Turkish guys do. I love dancing but generally too shy to start
  doing it in public. I like talking and meeting new people. Telling jokes and amuzing people is my style of
  communication, because that is the best way of telling your good intentions towards others. I participate
  volunteering action a lot in the campus and that actions target poor, rural and disabled children. I love them
  and enjoy spending time with. So, that is it for me now.
