In the first week of the experiment, we could not begin our Interlab project since we had not received our iGEM kit. At that time, round to July 10th, BNDS_China had completed the Interlab project and there was a plethora of materials left, so we borrowed the kit from them so that we could finish our project before the due.
Help BFSUICC_China
As our team followed the procedure of Interlab, we found that we were specialized in the dilution procedure. We had done an excellent job in the dilution process: the colony of different dilutions had perfectly normal differences, and the efficiency was much high. Therefore, we offered help to the team of BFSUICC_China to dilute the sample. Additionally, after having counted the colony, we helped them to wash the plate.
Help from Team Tsinghua
During July and August, we did our experiment in the next room of Team Tsinghua. Sometimes we shared one facility together, including the gel electrophoresis, the balance, the incubator, and the super clean bench. Team Tsinghua was there to help us at anywhere and anytime. Since we were not familiar with the location of some necessities, they were so active to guide us how to get them. Additionally, when we got something confused or incorrect, they were readily to help us. They reminded us to clean the balance after measuring the weight since we sometimes were a little bit careless when using the balance, they guided us to use their gel electrophoresis device, and they told us many of their lab rules in order to keep us safe.
Modelling Learning with BJRS_China
In August 11, 2018, our team and BJRS_China learned the basic methods to construct modelling of our data online together. We helped mutually to well comprehend the principle rule and solve questions of one another. All of us assimilated the rule of modelling, and by the time we built solid friendship with teammates of BJRS_China.
Jointly Organize Northern China High School iGEMers’ Meetup
In October 4, 2018, 5 Schools in Northern China: RDFZ_China, SHSBNU_China, BFSUICC_China, BJRS_China, and SDSZ_China, together held the Northern China High School iGEMers’ Meetup. The main purpose was to share our lab results, hold a rehearsal of Giant Jamboree presentation, and correct our problems. Our team members—especially Xuze Shao—designed handout of the meetup.
