Team:Newcastle/Team

A trampolining, opera-watching, guitar-and-sometimes-piano-playing, dangerous-cyclling, wine-drinking, cheese-eating, gourmet chef – Yana also sometimes works on iGEM.

Alina is our only architect in the team but has thrown herself into the lab work with lots of enthusiasm. Her strengths are in her strong eye for design (as seen in the team logo), her straight talking attitude and supportive and friendly nature. She also enjoys hikes, cheese, wine, watching Miss Marple, cherry tea, trips to the cinema and photography.

Geoff (pronounced Jeff, not Joff) is a friendly, inoffensive young lad from Wrexham. When he does manage to anger people they are likely to throw shoes at him, although this is a rare occurrence. His main hobby is hiking and when drunk he likens himself to mushrooms fried in garlic.
