WLC-iGEM finally sent our biobrick parts in to the registry this morning! So proud of the team for reaching this point. Now on to finishing the Wiki! Let the countdown begin :D

Happy hump day everyone!

As in past years, our WLC iGEM team is hosting a week long Bioengineering summer camp for high school students designed to expose students to the underlying science of biology and bioengineering and to teach students the basic techniques used in research labs on a daily basis.

Our camp is structured so that no matter what level of exposure a student has previously had to biology or bioengineering, they will be engaged and intellectually stimulated by experienced professors and researchers.

If you or someone you know is a student with a passion to learn and explore fascinating topics, this is an amazing opportunity to get a head start experiencing scientific research first hand, and if you register between now and July 4th you will receive a $50 camp discount!

For more information, see the following links or feel free to contact our team page with any inquiries.

Good afternoon everyone!
The WLC iGEM team is gearing up for the International Convention in Boston, and we would love your input and participation in some of our upcoming events!

Tomorrow, Thursday October 12th, we will be hosting a town-hall style event at the Wauwatosa Public Library in Wauwatosa Wisconsin from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.
We are hosting this event in an effort to open up a conversation between community members and scientists in an attempt to reduce the stigma that often surrounds both scientific research and biotechnology.

Throughout the night we will be discussing some of the basics of genetic engineering along with common ethical concerns, before opening up discussion of concerns or questions community members may have regarding genetically modified organisms.
Refreshments will be served, and we hope to see you there!
