What went down during the European iGEM Jamboree 2013 in Lyon, France

“We barely made enough to survive, but when we got up on stage and got ready to play people came alive.”

We had an amazing time in Lyon!
We were all very exited about what this great event would bring. We embarked on our journey from Odense to Lyon early Thursday morning, only hours after we finally printed our poster.

It seems to be a universal fact that iGEM teams from SDU-Denmark are be too exited about the wiki, outreach, and lab work to even think about the poster and presentation before wiki freeze has passed. Luckily, our experience from outreach projects at elementary and high schools enabled us to prepare a good presentation in short time. Our presentation was scheduled immidiately after lunch, meaning our audience would be stuffed and tired due to excessive amounts of exquisite French cuisine. So naturally, we started our presentation with an exercise that our supervisors used on us when we grew tired and weary. See the exercise and the rest of our presentation here.

Besides the presentation we also presented a poster. The basic idea of our Lyon Poster was to remind our reader of our wiki; we framing the poster like our wiki and the project through the various components of our logo. At the big poster session we got to talk with many of the amazing iGEM'ers out there and even the founder Randy Rettberg! We received a great amount of feedback that will help us greatly to increase the logic and viewer friendly approach we aim for. It was inevitable to be astound by the efforts made by all of the other iGEM teams and the many exceptionel projects out there.

So what did SDU-Denmark achieve at this years European Jamboree in Lyon? We were extremely proud to receive Gold for our project this year, and advancement to the World Championship in Boston! Furthermore we went into euphoria when the part number for one of our BioBricks suddenly appeared on the big screen, and the judges announced that we were to receive an award for Most Improved Registry Part!

To sum up: Gold, special award for Most Improved Registry Part, new acquaintances, lots of fun, and advancement to Boston!

Boston, here we come!!
