May 30

Today the Wellesley HCI lab headed into Boston for our first experience with wet lab training. At MIT, we met Prof. Natalie Kuldall who walked us through the BioBuilder workshop. There, we received an introduction to synthetic biology and the most fundamental concepts such as standardization, abstraction, and synthesis. It was exhilarating, and definitely a mind-opener to everything that this field has to offer. Before, we had only the readings to provide us background, but the workshop definitely made the topics a lot more clearer.

Later, we were also given the opportunity to actually enter the wet lab environment. Hands-on learning is the best sort of learning, so it was great being in a lab to actually conduct some critical experiments. My partner was Heather, and we definitely gave them our best shot! And while we may not have been the best synthetic biologists, we did make several key observations.
