var ANNA = "I first heard about iGEM when I was in high school and ever since I wanted to be part of it. For me this is a very exciting opportunity. I can’t wait to make some awesome bacteria! I moved to Canada two years ago from Germany. Now I am really enjoying Vancouver. My favourite thing to do here is skiing in winter; I can’t wait for next season. Aside from microbiology I am interested in marine biology. Through scuba diving I fell in love with the beautiful underwater world. On campus you can find me either in the lab, at the gallery, or at the pool napping. But if there is something you should know about me is that I love travelling and living in different places around the world, so this is definitely not my last stop.";

var GRACE = "Having experienced being part of iGEM last year, I was inspired by the calibre of projects iGEM teams produced. I am excited to see what amazing things a new group of minds can accomplish at UBC. In the lab, I am working on moving the caffeine biosynthetic pathway into E.coli. Through this portion of the project, we are attempting to "improve" BioBrick parts of the TU Munich 2012 team. In addition to labwork, I hope to contribute to the human practices portion of the project - looking forward to creative paths down this road! My guilty pleasures include reading bad novels and baking large batches of cookies (and eating them).";

var LIZ = "During my first year, a former iGEM member came in to give a class talk about his work on the team. Probably the entire class was fascinated by E. coli that light up green, amber and red like traffic signals. What was even more fascinating, though, was how the simplest bio-constructs so named "biobricks" could be used to solve problems that were much greater in scale. The bringing together of different disciplines was a key component of the project as well as the freedom to explore different topics and see an entire project through. I am excited to be working in the wet lab with a great mix of unique talents on the team this year. To tell you a bit about myself, I enjoy photography, following the MLB rooting for Texas Rangers, and eating mochi.";
