The Jamboree is less than a month away, and although you must be busy with preparations, you should also think about your team t-shirts. You're representing your team and university, so why not show off!

Design and wear your team t-shirt, especially for the iGEM from Above photograph. And since this year's Jamboree falls on Halloween (October 31) weekend, it'll be fun to have a team costume or mascot.

We're currently looking for volunteers who would like to help out during the iGEM 2009 Jamboree (October 30th to November 2nd). If you're an iGEM alum, interested in synthetic biology, or would like to take a peek at what we're doing at iGEM and the Registry of standard parts, we'd love to have your help. Check out the volunteer page to see how you can help.
