I learned a lot about what other iGEM teams were working on in the realm of synthetic biology from the actual researchers themselves. Since the projects were done by undergraduates just like me, they seemed more approachable and I was more comfortable asking them questions than I would have with established professors. Besides the research, I especially enjoyed the culture and diversity that was represented at the Jamboree. During the poster session, our team was approached by people who spoke with all different kinds of accents. Even coming from New York, I had never been in a more culturally rich group before. It was cool to see that synthetic biology research was taking place all over the world and not only in the United States. Since this was our inaugural year, the Jamboree was a true learning experience for us. Even though iGEM provided sufficient resources from past years for us to reference while creating our presentation and poster, being up there presenting in front of an auditorium of people was very different from just practicing in the classroom. Going through the entire experience ourselves definitely will help us in helping subsequent teams from Northwestern. ==Ragan Pitner== Insert thoughts here ==Kevin Rogacki== It is easy to see why the iGEM Jamboree is the culminating event for the iGEM competition. After a summer long effort, teams from all over the world descended on MIT to show off their results and for a chance to earn top honors for their work. Taken together, the Jamboree is an inspiration to work towards continuing the tradition of Northwestern iGEM. I'm looking forward to the Nothwestern iGEM 2011 winning top honors in Fall 2011! ==Matt Tong== Insert thoughts here ==Sean Yu== Insert thoughts here ==Ben Zhang== Insert thoughts here
