"The Boston University iGEM team would like to invite you to participate in the first ever New England iGEM (NEGEM) meeting in Boston on Saturday, September 15th. We thought it would be a great opportunity for the New England regional teams to meet one another and practice presenting before the Regional Jamboree in October so students and advisers can give the teams feedback and the teams will have time to improve their presentations before October. We'll happily welcome other teams from the North East outside of New England if you want to travel to Boston for the day. We hope to see you in September! For more information, please contact Traci Haddock (thaddock at bu dot edu), the BU Team Adviser."
