I’m Alexis, a student from Shenzhen College of International Education, blue-haired, not very humorous. This is my second year participating in iGEM but the first time as a team leader. I am involved in a lot of parts of mCATNIP, but mainly I focus on project design and team management. Speaking as a high school student, this experience with iGEM and synbio is simply fascinating: after being overwhelmed by the existing delicate rational designs, we get to create our own designs and build them from pieces. But it’s a huge challenge towards my resilience to be honest, especially when the transformation keeps failing and colony PCR shows no correct results. But still, I would listen to Paciencia y Fe by Lin-Manuel Miranda and continue working. Beyond iGEM, I’m a fan of musical theater, an equestrian enthusiast, and a cheese lover. |
