Safety Questionnaires due June 26
"About Our Lab" and "About Our Project" questionnaires are due on Friday June 26! The "About Our Lab" form is for you to tell us about your laboratory space and safety equipment, and the "About Our Project" form is for you to tell us about your primary project idea, what organisms and parts you will use, and what your project will do.
To complete your questionnaires, please see the Safety hub. Questions? Please contact us!
Other teams' content showing up in your wiki?
There is a problem with some team wikis, where content from the wrong team appeared by accident.
Please do not edit other teams' wiki pages! Instead, just remove their content from your wiki page, and add your own.
If you want to get a "clean copy" of the blank wiki, you may copy from the Example2 wiki. Remember to change "Example2" to your own team name whenever it appears!
AlumniGEM Mentorship Program
Do you want to mentor a team this year? Are you in a high school or collegiate team and interested in mentorship? AlumniGEM is running a mentorship program to match iGEM alum and current high school/collegiate teams together. Check out the Mentorship page and apply today! The application deadline is June 19th and we will announce the teams and mentors soon after.
