<p><b>About you:</b> Aimée never fails to cheer us up in the lab with her chit chat and big smile. She’s very relaxed when it comes to following a protocol! But somehow still manages to get the job done. She is also very determined even after the 18<sup>th</sup> attempt at cloning the same gene! Her favourite thing in the world (other than iGEM of course…) is anything sweet. It’s fair to say that she is totally obsessed with cake! </p>

<p><b>About you:</b> Jack of all trades is what I tend to be described as. That just so happens when broad interests lead to interesting detours in the early career. I joined iGEM because it's the most amazing way of encouraging entrepreneurship as an undergraduate student. I started iGEM as a Biologist, but I ended being from a Physicist to a Networking Champion. There are a lot of these so called prestigious internships out there, but what use is all the prestige if there is no fun and no 'out of the comfort zone' experience involved.</p>
