Team:BU Wellesley Software/Notebook/DougNotebook

This is my notebook. This is my voice on TV.

Anyway, welcome to my single notebook entry. Here we go. Team #3. This is my third time running an iGEM team. My first two teams were at UC Berkeley. This year, now that I am a professor at Boston University, I figured I should run a team here. So, why I am excited about our team?

1. Our team is joint with Wellesley College. A year or so ago, I stumbled across this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf-zMFdlqQ4"> YouTube video</a>. I thought it was really cool. I figured if we could get a great HCI project combined with the Clotho project it could address many of the concerns folks had about the learning curve associated with software tools for synthetic biology. I don't think we have this completely settled yet by any means but at least this project was able to get that collaboration started and we have established a way to collaborate.

2. We really revamped the Clotho core and main dashboard. Clotho has a completely new look and feel in 2011. Not only that but we have cleaned up much of the internal code and migrated the core to a new repository.
