One day with Saverio Tommasi
Margherita: Future iGEMers grow up
We had the pleasure to entertain in our lab for one day Saverio Tommasi: a giornalist, blogger, opinionist. Saverio contacted us through facebook because he was interested in documenting the life of young scientists in Italy. He observed and filmed with great interest our work and decided to tell the story of our project and the spirit of the iGEM competition in a reportage which will be released soon on the blog fanpage.it. We explained to Saverio the importance of Synthetic Biology and scientific research in general and we hope that this video will help people to approach the beautiful world of science.

Margherita: Future iGEMers grow up
During the summer we had the pleasure to host for two week, Margherita, an enthusiastic student from a High School in Trento where she is going to attend her fourth year. We introduce her to the wonders of synthetic biology and she completely understood the spirit of the iGEM competition. In particular, in these two intense week that we passed together, she had the possibility to see how IGEMers life is and to approach her to the world of biology. At the beginning she was a bit shocked about the huge amount of work that we had and she was not really convinced about science also because she had an humanistic formation. However while the time passing she quickly “converted” her to synthetic biology and, after some lessons, she was able to designed and built her fist biobrick: pLac with amilCP to produce blue colony. Unfortunately we discovered too late that the amilCP part (K59009 link ) d1idn't present the ribosomal binding site so the biobrick is unless for logical reasons. However this experience has enthralled very much Margherita that many week after her stage, send us a beautiful present
Moreover, with her we discussed about some parts of our project and she was able to give precious advices on the project with her different point of view. In conclusion it was a great experience and a great opportunity for both the team and Margherita.
