Aims For This Week
After last weeks training week we hope to finally begin construction. There are still a few hurdles: Our genetic circuits need our supervisor's approval and we might need to order some additional parts.
One of the human practice events we're most excited about is collaborating with the DIYbio community. We want to finalize the concept and find a space for it, as well as apply for funding. Hopefully we also have a much nicer and more complete wiki by the end of this...
Also, we will be creating our "project trailer" this week, which we'll use for a very exciting Kickstarter campaign...
Monday
Tuesday
We met early for a talk on the basics of synthetic biology, and for an introduction to Gibson Assembly, given by Ben Mackrow. Ben has a lot of personal experience of using this technique, and gave us a lot of useful advice about the benefits and limitations of such technique.
In the afternoon, there was Wet Lab Training. We were trained to use various equipment around the lab, and how to make important solutions for our experiments. In particular, we were trained to carry out a restriction enzyme digest, and how to inoculate bacteria.
Wednesday
Wet Lab Training - Today we proceeded to train other team members in restriction enzyme digest and transforming bacteria.
