Notebook
It's been a busy year! Take a look at the progress we've been making in our project: both in and outside of the lab.
"Competing in iGEM required more strength, endurance, and sacrifice than any other project I have undertaken. But nothing could have prepared me more for the post graduate study I am now pursuing than formulating and completing our project as an independent scienctist."
