Dear Diary... Week 1

1st-2nd July

At long last, the UCL iGEM 2010 campaign kickstarted with a meeting where everyone was present and a chance for all the members to meet each other! It was the very first meeting..the air was buzzing with enthusiasm and everyone just could not wait until this would take flesh and bones. Biochemical Engineers from 2nd to 4th year, Biochemists 1st to 3rd year, Artists and Designers and even our own Communication Ambassador.Darren and Eli presented the project and explained it as simple as they could for everyone to understand. A few ideas were thrown on the table..about the wet lab, the biobriks registration, the project name, the application of this project, the presentation which was months away...many unshaped ideas were discussed...but yet one thing was shaped for sure...the commitment to the competition...

UCL iGEM2010...had so much to look forward to...................

The following day, we had our 2nd meeting which took place..this time..just between the team members. We went out for lunch, and really just relaxed and socialized together. Was a great stress free day and got to know each other better which essentially is step one to that GOLD that we're looking for!
