Aims of the Week
This week, 6 of our team members of going to the CAM conference in Munich, where they will be presenting our project at the poster session. They will also meet with the LMU Munich iGEM team to discuss a collaboration. This has been a really exciting event for the team, in particular the modellers who are keen to collaborate, as we have been talking with the Munich team on skype for several weeks. Remaining in London are most of the lab team, who want to get our important biobricks transformed and commence 3A assembly. Rhiannon intends to finish updating the Research pages of the wiki; in particular she is working on the overview and design pages, as well as developing some research diagrams. Philipp also is aiming to get some wiki programming done, so we can start including some of the features we have designed. Yeping will be contacting the Southbank centre in order to discuss organising a Public Engagement event, and will continue discussing safety with London Hackspace regarding the DIYbio streetlab. Carina will be working on the physical model of our island for the Human Practice event at Southbank, where members of the public can themselves help construct the island using plastic. She also aims to have a more specified idea of the architectural side of the project after a meeting with the team on Friday.

Reflections
This week was full of activity for the team. The Munich conference went smoothly, and we were all pleased our project was received very well by attendees there. We have also enjoyed the collaboration with Munich, and we are looking forward to continuing the communication. The Lab team who remained in London also managed to do a great deal of lab work, but we are still encountering various problems with transforming BioBricks. The reasons for this are not clear, and are likely to vary between experiments. However, we hope to resolve some of the issues next week in order to begin assembly. Overall, we are a little disheartened by the difficulties we continue to encounter in the lab, and the barriers that face us in setting up the ambitious DIYbio event. However, we are encouraged by the progress they both continue to make, even if it is not as quickly as we would wish.
