Want to know what we've been up to this summer? Need to know how to structure your Synthetic Biology School Workshop? Or do you just want to check out some pictures of our project? No worries, just sit back and relax! We've compiled a whole host of videos and images to give you a taste of what we've been up to.

More brainstorming
...and more brainstorming
Ideas on regulation of Synthetic Biology
