Meetups & Collaborations
Meetups
KU Leuven
With the success of Exposciences
Midi-Pyrenées we were given the opportunity to participate in theInternational Exposciences
which took place in Brussels, Belgium, between the 19th and the 25th of July.
Taking advantage of our being in Brussels, we met four representatives of the iGEM KU Leuven team (Belgium).
For an entire afternoon, we exchanged views about our projects and particularly about the modeling part since our teams are using different softwares and methods. iGEM KU Leuven team uses (among others) the MatLab software whereas we use the Opflux software with the FBA (Flux Balance Analysis) and FVA (Flux Availability Analysis) methods.
This first meeting then evolved in a collaboration about modeling our projects.
Meet-up in Bordeaux - 29th/30th August
The French-speaking meet-up took place in Bordeaux on the 29th and the 30th of August. Numerous teams were represented there: Bordeaux, Paris Saclay, Paris Pasteur, Leuven (Belgium), EPFL (Switzerland), Aix-Marseille and our own team.
The program of this meet-up was very complete, from the discovery of Bordeaux through a tour of the city to the presentation of the projects and activities prepared by some of the teams present.
The presentations were held in a museum called CapSciences, dedicated to the popularization of science. We had to present our project both in French and English to a public composed of the other teams and non scientific people. It was very interesting to work on our communication skills and trying to find the balance between simplistic and still understandable by everyone. It was also a great opportunity to learn about other teams’ projects.
On Sunday, the two parisian teams had prepared activities. Paris Pasteur was a survey related to their subject. Paris Saclay offered us to reflect on biosafety applied to our projects. They helped us identify the potential dangers in our project and how we could act on them. Each team was filmed explaining its solution. You can find our own video here.
All in all this meet-up was a great chance to exchange and get to know other French-speaking teams. We would like to warmly thank the Bordeaux team for organizing it !
