| − | <p>On August 6, our team met with two iGEM teams - La Verne and UCLA - at the first Southern California iGEM meetup held at UCLA. Our entire team attended along with two of our advisors, Phillip and Bart. We discussed our projects and what we have been doing in an attempt to make iGEM a sustainable program at our respective universities because we are all relatively new teams. We concluded that fundraising and garnering support from our academic departments are a few obstacles, but significantly helps the team establishment. Also, we considered the possibility of starting a smaller synthetic biology conference in California. Overall, we had a great time meeting new people over pizza and cookies!</p> | + | <p>On August 6th, our team met with 2 iGEM teams -La Verne and UCLA- at the first Southern California iGEM meetup held at UCLA.

| − | <p>We ended our week by meeting up with seven members of the Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest San Diego high school iGEM team on September 4. The team shared with us their project goals and progress, and we offered input about the several applications that they mentioned. Both teams talked about our approach to Human Practices, and we informed TP_CC San Diego about how we tackled funding and gained sponsorships from on-campus laboratories and local biotechnology companies.<br><br> | + | <p>We ended our week by meeting up with the Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest San Diego high school iGEM team on September 4th.

| − | TP_CC San Diego presented a few issues they were facing: since minimal research had been done on LbCHI31-chitinase before, they had difficulty mapping the effectiveness of the encoding gene against varied concentrations of purified chitin. A few of us helped troubleshoot. Due to the limited amount of time left, they wanted to run the trail <i>in silico</i> but did not have experience with modeling. Therefore, we gave insight on modeling and how the results should relate to laboratory work.<br><br> | + | TP_CC San Diego presented issues they were facing: Since minimal research had been done on LbCHI31-chitinase before, they had difficulty mapping the effectiveness of the encoding gene against varied concentrations of purified chitin.
