aGEM Preparations Meeting

Today the whole team assembled again to talk about aGEM plans and what still needs to be done in order o prepare for this. We looked over poster sections, handouts and powerpoint presentatins for each section and came up with suggestions for editing/ improving them. For our Human Practices handout, we're going to expand on the format slightly with 2 pages instead of 1 so that we can go into more detail and have things look less cluttered.

Preparation and group discussion for aGEM

The aGEM competition is fast approaching (next weekend). All iGEM Calgary members met today for almost four hours to discuss what needs to be done before this conference. Handouts, posters and presentations were discussed/reviewd for all sections of the project. The key suggestion to all three of these things for the lab section is to be more results-based. Theory is important when presenting the circuits, but people want to see what we've actually achieved. We will try and put in data that shows the successful construction of the mutant circuits as well as the isolation of AI-2.

Team Meeting & aGEM presentation, handouts and posters

Today, we discussed the T-shirt meeting, iGEM registration, fundraising and flights to Boston, and addressed any other upcoming events or issues.

Then we moved on to aGEM discussions: we went through the posters, powerpoint and handouts of each group within iGEM. We discussed the changes that need to be made on posters and handouts and suggested modifications on the slides. All the handouts need to be edited and resubmitted by Monday.

Again, Emily and I will work on the Human Practices handouts. We need to do the following on the handout:

1) Try using a similar format to the lab one with 4 pages, allowing for more content and much more space 2) Fewer jagged lines! 3) Like the sideways titles for sections- maybe use for all of the sections 4) New content ideas: -Wht did we learn from the Campus Fair, what did we learn for the fututre in marketing? What are we going to do in the future for Marketing?, what ethical issues did we examine (just in general) 5) Add the grand total to the marketing Pie Chart! And fix up the text.

We also need to edit the poster:

Human Practices Poster-

1) E3LS of Quorum Sensing- the Bacteria don’t care! 2) Take out the Second Life photo 3) Define E3LS 4) Justify the font

aGEM poster and meeting

Worked on the poster a lot today mostly on the layout, colors and organization. Mandy and Patrick did some writing for it. Then we had a meeting about handouts, presentation and poster and got feedback.

SL Poster:

  • Bold keywords in the upper right hand purple box
  • Label T.H.AN.E’s lab (Virtual Lab # 2 ) on the map in the center
  • Label the ‘Welcome Pad’ on the map in the center
  • Put the titles and possibly the pictures within the purple bubbles.
  • Sonja would like copies of the original files used for the Poster.


SL movie:

  • We might want an extra slide before the movie slide?
  • Can we take out the appearance of the Notecards?
  • What about the labels- particularly within the Virtual Lab
  • Can we hide the Inventory Box?
  • Cut one example from the Synthetic Kingdom, allowing more time for the other two.
  • Level-based Biobrick Simulator- we need to show a basic level (1 simple thing) and a more advanced level (something much more complicated) in order to show progression.
  • Further editing will be needed once presentation is planned out
