Team:Cambridge/Blog/Week 11

Week 11 : 5th of September to 11th of September

Monday

Team members are taking occasional holidays (we probably need it, given the hours we're working). By chance, it's only the men of the team in this week, and coincidentally the lab reaches its nadir of untidiness, and there's a team curry-night on Thursday.

Tuesday

Wednesday

The team have sent out a questionnaire to past iGEMers, to have a look at the ways they think iGEM has affected their career, and all sorts of other interesting things. A fair few of our respondents told us that they'd be happy to be interviewed; the day is spent filming them in person (if they're sufficiently local) or recording skype conversations (for those who are not). iGEM seems not just to be changing peoples' career paths, but also altering peoples' scientific mindsets from a more traditional kind, to an interdisciplinary syn-bio variety. Given that iGEM was set up by some of the great syn-bio evangelists, this was perhaps - partly! - the purpose of the competion.
