Join the New Bioart Steering Group!
|
|
The iGEM Community is rich in the talent of its people, with students from different disciplines and it is really exciting for us to see how creative projects can be, with a special mention to those which take an artistic approach to synthetic biology.
Therefore, we are happy to announce our new Bioart steering group!
|
|
The bio-art steering group aims to bring discussions, raise questions, build speculation, and create exhibitions around synthetic biology.
The main goal of this group for 2022 is to create a bio-art exhibition to showcase curated work from the iGEM community and bring original work from artists working in this intersection. This exhibition intends to be during the Jamboree and a virtual experience for our community.
If you are passionate about the creative side of synthetic biology, join us!

Our working groups are looking for your contribution!
|
|
The new PI Hub Initiative is looking for collaborators to be part of their working group for this iGEM season. If you have been a PI before or you are a postgraduate student and you would like to join, send an email to pi@igem.org and someone from our team will reach back to you.
|
|
The Academia and Research Steering Group of the iGEM Community has created this survey for iGEM Alumni. The feedback from these questions will be used to (1) connect iGEM alumni with current members to assist with iGEM projects as well as to (2) help iGEM Community members pursuing the field of Academia or Research beyond iGEM.

We asked iGEMers in different places around the world about the challenges they are facing when it comes to building their local synthetic biology ecosystems and advancing the engineering progress of biology.

This newsletter was made like any good PCR- the machine stopped midway through, and the team started over again, but those bands came out like a Picasso.
