| − | <p2> We are proud to say that all members of the 2016-2017 iGEM team helped contribute to every aspect of our project, including lab work, outreach like human practices and fundraising, collaborations, designing the website and poster. Not a single member was excluded from participating in any of the activities and everyone helped come up and develop our project idea. We started brainstorming our project around January and working on our project in March. We began our lab work towards the end of May and the beginning of June. | + | <p2> Our 2017-2018 team started out with minimal to no experience in synthetic biology, but through this process gained appreciation and excitement for the capabilities of this field. We began brainstorming our project in January, and started our lab work and project work in mid-June. |

| − | <p2>Bo Zhao and Minnie Langlois from UNC-Chapel Hill for teaching us different and useful lab techniques, that expanded upon our basic classroom knowledge and helping us with our presentation. | + | <p2>Thank you to Dr. Joseph Harrison, for his continued help and guidance in our project. Dr.Harrison also served as a mentor for the 2016-2017 East Chapel Hill team, and despite his relocation to California, continued to give our team invaluable advice. |

| − | <p2>Dr. Randy Stockbridge from the University of Michigan for troubleshooting and providing us with possible explanations/reasons about the unexpected ∆crcB growth and the relationship between Fluoride and pH value. | + | <p2>A warm thank you to Jessica Hobson, Rhese David, and Shu Zhang for always pushing our team to aim for the best. We are extremely grateful for their patience, time, and support put into this project. They taught as valuable lab skills and techniques, to be patient and precise, and to accept and learn from every “failure” or mistake. |

| − | <p2>Mr. William Vincent, Dr. Stephen Snyder, and Ms. Patricia Berge for supporting us with the logistics about how to run a team and always being organized so that we can stay on top of things. They also helped and gave advice about how to raise funds so that we could get the chance to enter into the competition. At times when the UNC lab space wasn't available, they graciously provided their classroom for us to use. | + | <p2>Thank you to Ms. Patricia Berge from East Chapel Hill High, for being patient with our team as we figured out logistics and organization issues, answering our many questions, and generously donating her time to support our team. |

| − | <hr> | + | <p2>We would like to note that our project was built off the work that the 2016 - 2017 East Chapel Hill iGem team did previously. Dr. Joseph Harrison, who served as the primary instructor for the previous team, helped us to identify how we may valuably improve upon the previous team’s work with the fluoride riboswitch. |
