Team:UCL London/Week 3

Notebook - Week 3

I guess the real work really started this week, Xiang and James got down to analysing exactly how about we were going to out the lab work, and the plan behind it. Somehow, we mangaged to convince ourselves that's we will be done in 3 weeks, that's taking into consideration that there are 0 errors and 100% efficiency. James designed a "pretty plan" on powerpoint, quite impressive actually.

Today Xiang, James, Mariam and Omar met up to really discuss how the lab work will be structured. We had forms and other issues to sort out such as before our lab work really kick started.

We have already emphasised the importance of safety, and so we went about arranging for a safety session where our suprvisors ans safety technicians went through the to do and not to do rules of the lab, well atleast that's what we thought it would be like. So to summarise, we now know how to pinpoint the location of all the fire extinguishers in the ACBE...yes indeed..was a great session.

To summarize, it was quite a relaxing week where we got a chance to get to know each other better and also to understand iGEM further. All of us spent a lot of time researching and understanding what we were going to put ourselves through over the next few months.
