During the summer, we were joined by two [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axolotl Axolotls]. They are studied for their regenrative properties and praised for their constant smile. We built them a habitat in an aquarium tank with rocks and plants and fed them daily. Their presence in our workspaces added a touch of light to our basement laboratory.

Contributions/Attributions/Acknowledgements
For iGEM 2010, the description of each project must clearly attribute work done by the team and distinguish it from work done by others, including the host labs, advisors, and instructors:
- For the light circuit, because the registry did not contain the majority of parts crucial to our circuit, we collaborated with teams EPF-Lausanne, PKU, and Davidson-Missouri Western to obtain the relevant parts. From EPF-Lausanne, we received BBa_K191003 and BBa_K191005. We received from PKU Beijing AraC+pBad+T7ptag+Terminator, NahR+pSal+supD+Terminator, the Bistable switch, and other miscellaneous parts. From Davidson-Missouri Western, we received BBa_K091141 and BBa_K091147 to aid in the characterization of the pLac/Mnt hybrid promoter in the distribution. Thanks all for the assistance!
- For the E.Cargo project, we obtained the original Tat-PTD DNA and the idea to use Tat from fellow student Will Donovan (william_donovan@brown.edu).
- We would like to thank TU Delft for their WikiHacks section and BCCS Bristol for inspiring our menubar design
All other portions of the project were conducted by the undergraduate members of the Brown iGEM team. As detailed on our Obstacles/Lessons page, our advisors are there to answer questions, register us for the Jamboree, and help us troubleshoot protocols, but we are responsible for all other aspects of iGEM and the laboratory.
- Gary served as an awesomely optimistic and encouraging mentor and role model
- Adrian and Zak helped us troubleshoot lab protocols and taught us how to use equipment
Contributions to the projects were universal across the whole team. If something in the wetlab needed to be done, it was done by whoever could do it. Particular roles/contributions of note are:
- Ethan Richman was the captain of the Light Pattern project and designed the original idea of the circuit and explanatory diagrams
- Julius Ho captained the Tat project and helped organize the information and experiments for that
- James Weis was the king of modeling.
- Lily Chan designed the logos for our projects and was awesome at troubleshooting wetlab protocols
- Jen Kao maintained our relationship with our alumni network and communications with other groups
- Tim Johnstone designed the wiki, delegated work for wiki/Jamboree preparedness, captained and created the SynBio survey, and took the photos you see on our site
- Julius and Jen were in charge of giving presentations for outreach
- Lily, James, and Ethan designed the posters for the summer poster session and activities fair
