+
var bio_data = [
{"name":"Rohan Sinha","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014hs/c/cc/Rohan_s.png","question_1":"I love the fact that every living thing in the world is coded by the same language, DNA, and that with synthetic biology we are now able to not only read it, but also write it.","question_2":"Honestly, I do not want to live forever. But if I could live for longer I would try to develop close and meaningful relationships, want to see all the amazing places in the world, and try my best to help others. Things I try to do now. And I would try and learn different languages.","question_3":"I play tennis and do lots of MUN. I'm pretty sure I can beat most people in refilling tip boxes."},
+
{"name":"Dylan Chiu","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/c/c3/DChiu.JPG","question_1":"I signed up iGem due to my passion for computer science and biology. Computer science allowed me to engineer anything with the simple mechanics of \"if\" and \"else\", while biology allowed me to study the energy and structure of all forms of life. Synthetic biology allowed me to do both. Plus, it sounds really cool.","question_2":"Something along the lines of being a programmer."},
{"name":"Andy Wang","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014hs/b/ba/Andy_s.png","question_1":"I love that synthetic biology allows me to create new lifeforms with tangible results. It opens up another realm of possibilities for advances in fields such as medicine that I never thought I'd be able to get involved in as a student in high-school.","question_2":"Explore the universe. One day, we'll get there!","question_3":"Memorize the element song."},
+
{"name":"Bryan Tseng","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/e/e0/BTseng.JPG","question_1":"I became interested in iGem and synthetic biology because I am amazed by how engineering can be used as an approach to understand biology.

","question_3":"I can fold my tongue horizontally."},
+
{"name":"Daphne Liu","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/2/2f/DLiu.JPG","question_1":"Every time I passed by the lab last year, I saw iGEMers mesmerized, cheered and frustrated over bottles of water-like liquid. I asked myself “what kind of magic portion is that? I have to find out!”  So I joined iGEM.  (turns out to be E. coli- not disappointed) I also joined iGEM because of the growing role synthetic biology plays in health, food, and environmental issues. Rather than passively letting it seep into my life, I joined iGEM to be a part of current and future trend!","question_2":" I have many ambitions and I am open to all opportunities. I am fascinated by many occupations such as \"pharmacist\", \"biotechnology patent lawyer\", \"big data scientist\" and \"WHO agent\". I will stay proactive, committed and flexible to find out what is right for me. Above all, I want to embrace my family motto \"Do what you love, and Love what you do.\" My life goal is to balance between career and personal hobbies, and do something spontaneous and crazy once in a while!"},
{"name":"Bethany Shieh","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014hs/2/2f/Bethany_s.png","question_1":"I think it's incredible how much potential this field has in curing diseases and helping humans! :)","question_2":"I would spend my time with the people I love, travel to every country, and learn something new everyday.

+
{"name":"Leon Yim","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/8/8e/LYim.JPG","question_1":"I first heard about iGEM from our instructor, Mr. Clapper. At the time, he was putting in orders for primers and explaining how you can literally synthesize DNA fragments if needed. Since then, I thought of iGEM as building new animals or hacking DNA to create your own super power. The power to play was available.","question_2":"I would like to become a scientist. Maybe I'll be a researcher in a lab. I want to live long doing what I love: science."},
{"name":"Phillip Teng","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014hs/9/9b/Phillip_s.png","question_1":"Synthetic biology is a relatively new field of science, so that means that there is more to be discovered. To me, that signifies a chance that I may have a bigger impact in the field.","question_2":"I would teach philosophy and attempt to solve the meaning of life.","question_3":"I have quite a few hidden talents, but if I tell everyone, it's not hidden anymore."},
+
{"name":"Evonne Pei","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/4/4b/EPei.jpg","question_1":"Through iGEM, I am able to create, plan, and build together a SynBio project with people of the same passion. I've always been interested in biology, and synthetic biology just takes it to the next level. It is amazing how we can use biology to assemble parts and create things that can help the people around us or the environment we are in.","question_2":"Have 10 pugs and a big backyard. Not exactly kidding about the previous statement- but to add to that, I would like to have a job in a biology related field."},
{"name":"Dean Huang","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014hs/0/08/Dean_s.png","question_1":"My favorite thing about synthetic biology is the range of applications that it can have. It makes me proud to tell people that science is the most diverse and enabling subject of all. Whattup historians.","question_2":"If I could live forever, I would try to learn as much about the world as possible. I would travel the world and learn as much as possible in order to develop my own understandings and theories. I would also earn a Nobel prize and become the smartest person in the world.","question_3":"Handstand pushups"},
+
{"name":"Monica Lu","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/b/bf/MLu.jpg","question_1":"During the summer before my senior year, I was interning at a research lab at NYMU and found it quite interesting so I wanted to continue it somehow during the school year. From that experience, I found out that I wanted to be part of the whole research process, including coming up with the project which was something I did not get to do at NYMU. So I found that I would be able to get that opportunity by joining iGEM. And to me, synthetic biology just sounded fun in the sense that I could learn to manipulate genes to allow us to make bacteria do things that they were not originally able to do. So, I decided to give iGEM a try.","question_2":"Musician!"},

+
{"name":"Jonathan Chen","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/a/a8/JChen.jpg","question_1":"I got involved in iGem and synthetic biology because I like the topic of biology and I thought syn-bio could provide me with more knowledge and understanding on the subject. Also iGem made me feel like I'm part of a team working towards one goal; it's something very special.","question_2":"Professional baller"},
{"name":"Xiaoyang Kao","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014hs/1/18/Xiao_s.png","question_1":"I like how much synthetic biology resembles traditional engineering.","question_2":"Wait until I can go to Mars and live there!","question_3":"I can work for a very long time before sleeping."},
+
{"name":"Paul Chevassus","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/b/b2/PChevassus.jpg","question_1":"I got interested in the program via the iGEM club at our school. The science that was being presented captivated me and therefore I joined the program. ","question_2":"Not sure yet"},
{"name":"Jude Clapper","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014hs/6/6e/Clapper_s.png","question_1":" I like, because of synthetic biology, that biological parts are becoming increasingly standardized.  This allows for the design process of synthetic biology to really add a lot of creativity when trying to solve industrial, environmental or health related problems.","question_2":"I think that I would try out many different careers if I could live forever. I’ve always wanted to be a scuba diver instructor, an adventure travel guide or a gourmet chef. If I could live forever, I’d have the time to test out many different careers.","question_3":"I’m a classically trained singer, amature radio operator (KB3AVY), passed the ground school test for flying small aircraft, have advanced open water scuba certification and can juggle."},

+
{"name":"Phillip Teng","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/5/5b/PTeng.png","question_1":"It was a coincidence. I had to swim after school so I couldn't go off campus for research. As I started learning more and more about synthetic biology, I fell in love with it, and this is my second year participating in the iGEM competition!","question_2":"My dream career is to work on automating medical diagnosis and treatment. My life goal is to be a good person and hopefully influence a few people around me to live a meaningful life."},
 +
{"name":"Jude Clapper","photo_url":"https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/3/33/JClapper.JPG","question_1":"I'm a chemist by training, but I really got interested in synthetic biology because of the relatively straightforward approach to designing biological contructs.

Most graduates of TAS go on to attend colleges and universities in United States, although some choose to attend schools in other countries. Elite high schools, such as TAS, are constantly trying to stay ahead of the curve in STEAM education. The most difficult aspect of STEAM education to teach is the 'E', which stands for engineering. Besides robotics (we participate in VEX, FRC, ROV, RoboCup), most high schools are at a loss for how to add additional engineering components to their curriculum. However, Dr. Hartzell, our high school principal, met this challenge by revamping our scientific research department and supporting the creation of an iGEM team.</p>

About Taipei American School

Taipei American School is a private independent school with an American-based curriculum located in Tianmu (T'ien-mu), Shilin District (Shih-lin), Taipei City. Most graduates of TAS go on to attend colleges and universities in United States, although some choose to attend schools in other countries. TAS strives to stay ahead of the curve in STEAM education. An important aspect of STEAM education is the 'E': Engineering. Our iGEM team represents the application of engineering beyond robotics.

About The Lab

We work in the Sandy R. Puckett Memorial Research Lab, which was completely renovated in 2013 to provide a research laboratory for on-campus student research in synthetic biology and nanotechnology. It is fully equipped with lab tools for research for the iGEM competition. The students have the opportunity to be creative and exploratory in many areas of scientific research at TAS.

Synthetic Biology

The fusion between biological research and engineering has culminated in the creation of synthetic biology. This interdisciplinary area was facilitated by the recent advances in technology, allowing humans to actually design and construct biological devices as if they were machinery. However, the advent of synthetic biology has raised concerns with biosafety and biosecurity, which is why iGEM places such importance on "safety".
