UBC iGEM Wall of Quotes
The only lesson I've learnt so far is "I have to do it again." - Phillip
iGEM: New and interesting ways to fail. - Eric L.
I know it's nice out, but make sure you wear your pants. - Eric F.
Are they easy to contaminate? Oh, sorry, I'm Rafael by the way. - Rafael
Alina: So one PCR product was twice the size of the other and you ran both in the same PCR? Why?
Phillip: It was Phusion. I thought it was magic!
Eric F.: (on September 22) It feels like Jamboree is next week.
Alina: It's not.
I've got a few drafts, but you don't want to see it. It's mostly swear words and stuff. - Eric F.
People who don't know what synthetic biology is are at least 10 smoots away from commenting on its applications and ethics. - Alina
Alina: Maybe we should ask Red Bull for sponsorship.
Eric L.: That could be part of our human practices project-investigating which energy drink is the best.
Alina: That could be part of our gold medal achievements too-it'll help ALL of the iGEM teams.
(After 4 months of failing to obtain a S. aureus phage from another lab) I guess we should have tried a soil sample from outside the building? - Charles
So much hair... - Eric F.
If the curve looks bad, we're not doing it again. - Eric F.
(One team meeting in June 2010)Who is Steve Jones? - Alina
(September 2010) Who is this Elf you speak of? - Alina
(5 minutes later) Who is this Road Warrior you speak of? - Alina
What are we talking about? Suddenly I just hear all these keywords. - Vicki
(On Shakespeare and biofilms)Out, damn'd spot! out, I say! - Alina
(On Jamboree) Just wait until the UBC people meet the Albertans. There's going to be trouble! - Rafael
We're all nerds here-there's no denying that! - Eric L.
