Secret garden
Congratulations! You've found our secret garden! Follow the instructions below and win a great prize at the World jamboree!
- A video shows that two of our team members are having great fun at our favourite company. Do you know the name of the second member that appears in the video?
- For one of our models we had to do very extensive computations. To prevent our own computers from overheating and to keep the temperature in our iGEM room at a normal level, we used a supercomputer. Which centre maintains this supercomputer? (Dutch abbreviation)
- We organised a symposium with a debate, some seminars and 2 iGEM project presentations. An iGEM team came all the way from the Netherlands to present their project. What is the name of their city?
Now put all of these in this URL:https://2013.igem.org/Team:KU_Leuven/(firstname)(abbreviation)(city), (loose the brackets and put everything in lowercase) and follow the very last instruction to get your special jamboree prize!
The Ethics Blog
As scientists it is not easy to think about our work in an ethic way, likewise, philosophers may find problems when confronted with the exact sciences. That is why we decided to collaborate with members of the KU Leuven institute of philosophy. This way they could guide us in making ethical decisions and we could guide them in learning what comprises synthetic biology. To give regular scientists a better understanding of ethics in science Michiel Poorthuis, iGEM KU Leuven team member and Sam de Vlieger, advisor, will write a blog. In this blog they will explore and explain the ethics of science together with the KU Leuven iGEM team. Read their latest blog entry here.
