Team:BU Wellesley Software/Notebook/MeganNotebook
From 2011.igem.org
Welcome to my wiki! I am a first-year PhD student at Tufts University studying Human-Computer Interaction. I'm interested in how next-generation interaction techniques can support research through enhanced brainstorming and within-group collaboration. Lead by Dr. Orit Shaer of the Wellesley College HCI laboratory and Dr. Douglas Densmore of the SynBio laboratory at Boston University, I am the Wellesley student mentor for the development and engineering of multi-touch and tangible interaction software and tools.

Bootcamp
05.31 - 06.03 : This is week 1 of our work towards the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition in synthetic biology. We have a lot of excitement, but a lack of experience. Thus the BU team leaders have put together a bio bootcamp to take everyone bio 101, software support, and outreach opportunities in three days.
Technology Tour
Tuesday, we welcomed our three newest members - Kelsey, Casey, and Kathy - to the HCI laboratory with a tour of the technology and tools. New students and current iPhone programmers worked on "Hello World", Microsoft Surface style. Kathy, our resident bio-enthusiast and expert, started a survey of state-of-the-art genomics tools and molecular infographics.
Bio Basics
Wednesday began the BU-Wellesley iGEM bootcamp.

06.20 - 06.24 : Already week 4, already mid mid 20's! My mentor and lab mates, new and old, surprised me with cake and gifts to celebrate the new week and my old age. The focus this week was to finish the adaption of G-nome Surfer to visualize prokaryotic data and to design Primer BLAST for the Surface.
