So you want to be an iGEMer
What is Synthetic Biology?
A Day in the Life of an iGEMer
The idea behind the video was to provide a sneak peek for Young Scientists to see what a lab looks like, where we do research and all the exciting things go on.
We incorporated safety considerations such as:
- Always have proper footwear (ie. bare feet is UNACCEPTABLE and flip flops aren’t good either)
- Wear long pants
- Have long hair tied back
- No food or drink in the lab (fuel up before you head in!)
- Wear a lab coat
- Always work with someone else in the lab, never work alone.
- Wear gloves (for sanitary high-fives)
- Use a proper lab notebook to keep a record of your lab work
- and many other things that can be spotted in the video...
