UBC iGEM Words of Wisdom

You can't optimize what you don't have - Eric L.

Do what makes you happy, and everything else will follow - Eric L.

My motto: To give more of yourself than you take away. - Alina

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
