Last week we had a conversation with IGEMers from Estonia iGEM for knowing more about our projects and getting advice. We are also looking for a mutual collaboration.
La semana pasada tuvimos una charla con IGEMers del equipo de Estonia para conocer más sobre nuestros proyectos y aconsejarnos. Asimismo, tenemos en mira una colaboración mutua.

Surveys Development within iGEM
Dear iGEM Ecuador,My name is John and I am a member of iGEM Thessaloniki. I am contacting you to let you know about the collaboration we are organising. More specifically, our team is working on designing a system to increase robustness of measurements by decoupling gene expression from copy number. So, if you would like to take part in our Interlaboratory Collab all you have to do is to conduct measurements, measuring fluorescence with our constructs in a plate reader. We will gather and compare results from around the world and find out if our system diminishes interlaboratory variations caused by differences in plasmid copy number.
In addition, we have created a survey about synthetic biology, laboratory work, safety and ethics that is addressed to experienced scientists working on the synthetic biology field . We would appreciate it if you could forward this survey to your PIs, instructors and advisors. You can find the survey here: https://goo.gl/forms/xigcfX3wmFpywlMo2
Hope you see you in our Interlaboratory Collaboration. For more information don’t hesitate to contact us.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Best,
John Alexopoulos
Dear iGEM Team Ecuador,
I’m a member of this year’s iGEM Team Bielefeld-CeBiTec (Germany) and we have a little favor to ask. We prepared a survey on the topics Dual Use and Dual Use Research of Concern for which we need your help! We already have many German respondents and would be very happy to get a more international view - that’s why we would be pleased if as many of you as possible could participate! If we can also do something for you, please do not hesitate to contact us
See you in Boston & best wishes!
Matthias
Dear team Ecuador
Are you interested in contributing to the well being and prosperity for future iGEM participants? All we need is your attention for 1 minute
We’re the team from Lund University in Sweden. After talking with previous and current iGEM students we’ve come to the conclusion that iGEM can be a very stressful and frustrating experience for many.
iGEM is multifaceted and challenges its participants in many ways. For many individuals, it can become an overwhelming experience which in turn can cause mental health complications such as stress, anxiety and depression. Others members, such as the team leaders, might also face problems with managing the team and ensuring that the project progresses in the right direction.
We strongly believe that this can be changed with the proper tools and guidance.
As a part of our human practices initiative this year, we will be conducting a world-wide survey to map out self-fulfillment, motivation, stress, organization and management, and group dynamics within the iGEM community.
This survey will serve as a foundation for a handbook written by us about team-organization for future iGEM members and team leaders. The handbook will skip all the theoretical jargon and dive straight into tools and practices the teams can apply to improve their work flow and well-being.
It would mean a lot to us if you could distribute our survey to as many people as possible within your team. It takes less than 5 minutes to answer all the questions.

Please don’t hesitate to ask if there’s anything our team could help you out with.
Warm regards,

Dear Team Ecuador,
Hello!
My name is Ayano Furuta, and I’m a student at Tokyo University of Science in Japan. I belong to Botchan Lab Tokyo, this University’s iGEM team, and I would like to ask you a favor.
In this year, my team is planning to think deeply about food issues through Human Practice, and we want to collect a data which regard to awareness of food problem from different countries.
If it’s ok with you, please take a few minutes to fill out the survey below. I want as many people as possible to fill out the one, so if you can ask your friends or family, please ask them to answer the questions.
I am really appreciate that you take your precious time to read this.
If we can also do something for you, please do not hesitate to contact us!
I’m looking forward to see you in Boston

¡Saludos desde iGEM Tec-Chihuahua!
Estamos trabajando actualmente en un manual de emprendimiento con el cual los equipos de iGEM podrían contar para el desarrollo de la sección de emprendimiento de sus proyectos. Queremos que este manual se pueda utilizar en las próximas ediciones de la competencia para que los equipos puedan tener una guía adecuada en la cual se puedan basar para sacar adelante el área.
Es nuestra intención que esta guía incluya situaciones que los diferentes equipos de iGEM de todo el mundo experimentan mientras exploran el campo de emprendimiento. Por lo tanto, los invitamos a colaborar con nosotros y con la comunidad de iGEM enviándonos sus preguntas y preocupaciones que llegaron a surgirles al administrar esta sección de sus proyectos. iGEM Tec-Chihuahua consultará a diferentes expertos y compartiremos con ustedes las mejores soluciones. También incluiremos sus preguntas e inquietudes con sus respectivas respuestas en nuestro manual para futura referencia.
Adjunto a este mensaje, encontrarán un Google Forms para recibir su apoyo en el desarrollo de este manual. Aquí incluimos algunas preguntas para recopilar estadísticas sobre el emprendimiento en iGEM y una sección para que ustedes nos compartan su opinión sobre este manual.
La fecha límite para completar este Google Forms es el 8 de julio y iGEM Tec-Chihuahua enviará las respuestas correspondientes a cada equipo la primera semana de agosto.
Le deseamos lo mejor para sus proyectos.
Muchas gracias!
