A first contact with the Mexican team was over Skype. They are going after water pollution, a critical environmental problem affecting megadiverse ecosystems and many communities close to the natural and polluted water sources. To help, we provided them with '''water samples''' from all over France so they can analyze them with several techniques in order to make a valuable overview.

Throughout our adventure iGEM we had the opportunity to interact with various teams. These exchanges were extremely beneficial for us because besides the fact that we were able to discuss our projects and what we wanted to do, we were able to help each other on the functioning of a team and on all points. essential to the smooth running of our project. We had the opportunity to discuss videoconferencing with two teams working on distinct projects.

First we talked with the team [https://2018.igem.org/Team:Bielefeld-CeBiTec Bielefield] who were trying to find a way to recycle the metal. This team explained to us how their research was going and how their team was involved in the wet lab. This allowed us to reflect on the organization of our team and the role of everyone in our project.

We then exchanged with the Team [https://2018.igem.org/Team:Leiden Leiden ] who works on the stress of bacteria. This time we were able to discuss the human practices part we told them all the events we had done and those that remained to come and we were able to discuss the vision of each team on the importance of human practices and how we wanted to integrate it into our project.

The Chinese team OUC-China created a comic book where it describes microbiology aspects to the non-scientific community. They wanted to translate it into several kinds of languages in order to popularize synthetic biology and they proposed us to translate the book into our native language (French). So we jumped on board this interesting educational project, where the team sent us the English script of the comic book and we translated it into French.


Connecting with the iGEM community
