He likes to oil up and flex his muscles, as his second ambition in life is to be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger. Cal was hot to learn HTML, due to us having no students who study computers science or design. He’s a bright lad with an uplifting Scottish voice. If you see him in Boston ask him to say “There’s been a murrr-der!”.</p> |

He joined iGEM because he felt it’s the most amazing way of encouraging entrepreneurship as an undergraduate student. He came into iGEM as a Biologist, but ended being anything from a Physicist to a Networking Guru. He’s a short German man with a great sense of humour, and he’s always pushing us to strive out of our comfort zones. </p> |
