Why Did You Join iGEM?
"I joined iGEM because to me it seemed like a great way to get my foot in the door in terms of lab experience, which ideally would help me get into a professor’s lab down the road."
- Ruth
What Was Your First Year on the Team Like?
"This past summer was definitely a steep learning curve for me and there was a lot to do and learn, from patch plating to
running and interpreting gels. I learned a lot of practical skills, and when I took MBG*3350 Lab Methods
in Molecular Biology this past semester, I realized just how much I learned because most of the things
we did in that course were things I had already done or observed over the summer (which made the
course really easy to get a good mark in!). I also got to present our team’s poster at a conference
alongside graduate students, and how many undergraduates get to do that? It’s a great learning
experience and I would 10/10 recommend giving iGEM a shot if you’re at all thinking about grad school
because it gives you a taste of what research is actually like in the day-to-day, which is a really valuable
opportunity."
