Hello <<First name>>,
 
Welcome to the iGEM Community Newsletter. The Newsletter is home to synthetic biology news, events, opportunities and the latest advancements in synthetic biology research - from around the world. Not only that, here you'll also find out about updates & announcements from the world of iGEM. Let's Dive In!
 
Updates & Announcements
As we step into the 20th year of iGEM, we invite you to celebrate with us at the 2023 iGEM Grand Jamboree in Paris. Over 70,000 people from all over the world are connected by iGEM, and everyone is invited to gather together to reflect on iGEM’s 20-year history and look to the future that you and others are building with synthetic biology. Check our Jamboree website.
