Team:Glasgow/Collaborations
Cambridge Team You got us under the microscope
As a team, we have been focusing on the theme of education, and promoting synthetic biology outwith the science community. The bridge between the public and our team has been our children’s night-light, ‘Furri-Lux’, a great tool for children and parents alike, powered by our bioluminescent bacteria. To enhance the impact of our project, we displayed a stall at Glasgow Science Centre’s ‘Meet the Experts’ event and invited some students studying Lab Skills and Advanced Higher Biology at a nearby secondary school to learn more about how we operated with aseptic technique. Alongside this, we also utilised and promoted an easier, safer alternative to common gel staining techniques using Azure A.
