2.- Jamboree Information
Please complete this section as well as you can. You will be asked to check or update this information prior to the Jamboree.
1. Sweatshirt Size:
2. Dietary restrictions. If you have other dietary restrictions, please contact iGEM HQ
3. Are you available to attend the entire Giant Jamboree (October 25 - 28 2018, in Boston)?
3.1 If not, please indicate which days/times you are available to attend.
Note
If you are selected as a judge, you MUST attend the iGEM 2018 Giant Jamboree in Boston (October 25-28). iGEM currently cannot provide travel funding for judges to attend.
If you are registered as a Primary PI, Secondary PI, Instructor, or Advisor for a 2018 iGEM team, you will receive a 50% discount on your Giant Jamboree registration fee if you are selected as a judge. As both an instructor and a judge, your primary role must be as an instructor. We ensure that your judging assignments do not conflict with your own team's presentation.
If you are not on the roster of a 2018 iGEM team, your Jamboree attendance fee will be waived .
3.- Conflicts of Interest
There are many possible reasons why you might be unable to judge some teams impartially. For example if you are a PI or instructor for the team, if the team comes from a school that you attended, or a school where you work or if you mentored or advised the team informally
To select multiple teams, use Ctrl-click or Cmd-click Team List .
1. Team Affiliations:
Please select any teams you are officially affiliated with (i.e. you are listed on the team roster as a PI, Instructor, or Advisor).
I have no 2018 team affiliations
2. Conflicts of Interest:
Please select any teams for which you have a conflict of interest for another reason. (For example, a team that you mentored informally, or a team from the university where you were an undergrad student.)
I have no 2018 team conflicts of interest
3. If you have any other conflicts of interest that are not indicated above, please describe them:
4.- Motivation
Please answer these questions in detail.
Did you apply to judge last year? View your answers from last year.
1. Why do you want to be a judge in iGEM?
2. What professional experience do you have that's relevant to iGEM (e.g., synthetic biology, hardware, software, human practices)?
3. Have you judged student competitions other than iGEM before? If so, which ones? (e.g. FIRST, BIOMOD, Science Olympiad)
4. What features of an iGEM team and their project make them worthy of recognition?
(New judges may want to familiarize themselves with the 2015 Judging Handbook Part 1 . The 2018 Judging Handbook will be available later this year.)
5.- Track Preferences
iGEM teams compete in several "tracks", based on the topics of their projects. Please see the Track page for more information on each track.
When we assign judges to teams, we will try to assign you your first preferences wherever possible. However, we can't anticipate how many teams will be in each track, so it may not always be possible to assign you your first choice. Therefore, you can indicate how you feel about each track. The more first choices you select, the more likely it is that you will be assigned teams in those tracks. If you are unable to evaluate teams in some track areas (software or measurement, for example), please put "Avoid" for those tracks.
Please indicate how highly you prefer each track. You may select multiple first, second, and third preferences.
