Today...
We went over the GFP paper and then we interacted in a lesson about actin and how it relates to cell motility. At one o' clock it was lunch and after eating with my teammates I completed the lengthy online safety training so that I could legally work on the bench. After a few minutes of relaxation in the cozy iGEM rat cave (pictures soon to follow!!!), Raquel lead us to the front lawn of Genentech Hall to take our pictures for the wiki profiles. Next, half of us went with Oliver to culture dictyostelium in liquid media and then the other half followed. Next on our to-do list was redoing minipreps of our plasmids from a recent ligation. We all left a bit exhausted around 7pm but it was all worth it, iGEM Boot Camp has turned out to be a blast and I am exited for what is to come.
