• Help another iGEM team by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.

  We've helped the valencia team.

• Outline and detail a new approach to an issue of Human Practice in synthetic biology as it relates to your project, such as safety, security, ethics, or ownership, sharing, and innovation.

  We've made a questionnaire and written a literature study about the ethics of synthetic biology.

Silver medal requirements
