Introducing senior classes to synthetic biology
We really enjoyed the day with the iGem Team. We learned a lot of new things, but we also repeat[ed] what we already knew. It helped a lot that we could do the experiments on our own, because in biology it is very difficult to understand experiments if you don´t see them in front of you. If we had questions, we could ask them and the team explained the answers very well. They also explained us the idea of the bacterium which is able to recycle plastic and the whole group liked the idea. Altogether it was a very interesting and informative day and it should be possible for every class to take part in something like this.— Selina Lerch and Anna-Lousia Stroh
The day with the iGem team realy helped me to understand the topics which we talked about in class theoretically. Because to see it and do it myself put it into a state of reality that made much more sence than a thing that you just talk about. It was very nice and interesting to do experimentations in a real laboratory and to imagine being a biologist who wants to find out which sort of meat he/she has. And generally to know that something like this is possible is fascinating. I would like to do something like this again and I would suggest to do it to my friends.— Venezia Renner
