Meetings September
From 2009.igem.org
September was a very eventful and hectic month!! The constructs that were ordered from GeneArt arrived. That means we could start with making our final constructs and testing them. The silver stuff has not made any progress. We were not able to reproduce the paper and hence had to look for alternative protocols. We talked to eugene and got some interesting insight into the silver stuff.. so we will work on some new protocols. The vesicle stuff looks quite promising, the vesicle guys are able to make the vesicles at a consistent speed and of a homogeneous size. we also have some really amazing videos of the vesicles being created.
Some great news. we got the Nexans sponsorship. We are working on the abstract which is due this week. we also have to submit a request for variance. The wiki work is due, so this month would be spent on coming up with ideas for the wiki and adding content to it.
Some of us applied for visa.. and the visa issue is quite complicated and disappointing for some of us. So we have to think of some way to speed this process. The T Shirt design has to be worked on. The logo for the team has to be designed as well. We have to look for a place we could get our T shirts printed. And try to get sweatshirts from TUD!! :)
