CONTRIBUTION

Our team called for papers once the new topic occurred to us. After collecting articles, we did the layout and then distributed new issues to all teams we had managed to get in touch with as soon as possible.

With the help of Paris_Bettencourt and Pasteur_Paris, Newsletter was spread all over the world.

In spite of Meetups, we have Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and QQ to keep in touch with other teams in no time. Thanks to their generous help, we successfully publish our Newsletters to the public. Meanwhile, we send Newsletters as attachments to both writers and readers who we’ve contacted.

In particular, we are grateful to Stockholm for offering the platform called issuu.com, which made it easier to show our issues.

We really appreciated it that Professor Wayne Materi attached us a permitted version of his article named ‘Leading a Successful iGEM Team’ when we began the first issue. 'I am happy that students still consider this article useful. It is a few years old now and I haven’t been involved in iGEM for several years. I’m surprised it’s still relevant.'

We’ve managed to get in touch with 76 teams who were interested in Newsletter and finally the following 52 teams from 33 countries joined us.

  • Issue 1

    The first issue-the first special issue at the same time, which was released on May 17th, is about how to set up and operate an iGEM team. Many teams were at the beginning of the establishment at that time, so we drew our inspiration from that. We really appreciate the contributions from Professor Wayne Materi and eleven experienced teams. Though each situation differs, there is still some important reference value to both old and new teams.

  • Issue 2

    The publication of the second issue contains two parts: Project Introduction and Ethical Discussions. Eight teams showed their projects and sixteen teams expressed their opinions on a controversial research in April based on ethics. The researchers, headed by gene-function researcher Huang Junjiu at Guangzhou's Sun Yat-sen University, modified in human embryos a gene responsible for beta thalassaemia, a blood disorder that can be fatal.

  • Issue 3

    On June 15th, we released the third issue only about projects with the participation of twelve teams.

  • Issue 4

    The fourth issue-the second special issue came out in late June. This special issue is about the present situation of synthetic biology in different countries. Twelve teams from nine countries were willing to share their views.

  • Issue 5

    The coming fifth issue consists four parts: Project Update, Interview, Human Practices and About Competition System. Many teams got started on Human Practices in July, so the new part was added. Meantime, we interview professors and collect suggestions to make connections between teams and the organizing committee.

  • Issue 6

    The sixth issue, a special issue about software, consists four parts: Project Update from DRY Teams; Open Questionnaire about Software; Project Update from WET Teams and Human Practices about Collaboration & Problems. We did an open-ended questionnaire with the following three questions:
    1. What software are you using in iGEM this year?
    2. What software have you used in previous competitions? (Maybe you can list some and that will help a lot.
    3. What kind of software do you need most? Which features are you looking forward to?

  • Issue 7

    Finally, the seventh issue-the last issue was shown with four parts: Project Update, Interview, Human Practices and About Competition System. Twenty-two teams joined us, which made Newsletter for 2015 iGEM a happy ending.

  • We’ve made improvement this year and we hope to make it better!
