HUMAN PRACTICES

In this year,two key words of our human practices are foundations and communication,which will become driving forces for our team.There are three particular steps followed.

Firstly,as foundations,we established an official school club called ‘iGEM Club’,a solid backing of our team.Then we carried out our fresh-force-wanted lectures,academic visiting and undertook other team activities depending on the club.

Secondly,in communication,we befriended the team of Northeast Agricultural University(NEAU) to prepare for the next year competition by giving them a lecture about iGEM.We also have lots of meetings with them as a helping hand.

Finally,some of our members enjoyed trips to many places including Peking University,Tongji University and Thailand.They had much talks about iGEM with teachers and students there.

What’s more,we have made some little postcards for our friends.

With these human practices,we made our team lives more colorful.

iGEM Club

Propose

iGEM Club was founded in March 15,2012,Which is the stronghold of iGEMer in HIT.The club is mainly responsible for the administrative work of our team.,including assembling team,arranging regular meetings,encouraging members,monitoring the progress of project and outreach work.

Our aim is to systematize team management and improve efficiency of team activities.Future more,iGEM Club is going to expand influence in HIT and hold more activities.So that more people will deepen understanding of iGEM and synthetic biology.we wish that through our efforts,we can do better job for our project.

Lectures

At the beginning of the semester,we took on new members by organizing two fresh-force-wanted lectures given by Prof. Xu and some of old members of last team.In the lectures,they introduced many interesting things about iGEM and the significance and some processes of the competition to students form two different school districts in HIT.The lectures attracted more than 50 students.We eventually selected 5 students to join us as new members.

A Talk With Prof. Xing

By chance,we knew that someone else in HIT who was called Prof. Xing was interested in iGEM and synthetic biology . So that we contacted with Mr. Xing at once.Luckily,he pleased to invite us to have a small talk.From this talk we exchanged our views in the field of synthetic biology.And imaging to take synthetic biology a good use in environmental engineering and biohydrogen.

Our New Friends:NEAU

In our fresh-force-wanted lectures, We met four friends from another iGEM Club of NEAU.They had longed to participate in iGEM competition for a long time.But unfortunately,they didn’t get enough relevant experience about iGEM.So that abiding by the iGEM spirit of sharing and advance,we decided to help them to acquire more experience for the competition of next year.

As we doing our project,we invited the students from NEAU to join in our weekly meetings.We exchanged our idears and views during meetings,hence we could achieve more information.Cooperation with NEAU allows us to obtain a win-win situation .

On the other hand,we have specially conducted training courses for students from iGEM Club at NEAU and our freshmen.Through this event,all of us have gained great improvement.

Trips

In this summer vacation,three groups of students were sent to Tongji University,Peking University and Thailand as visitors.Here are some of their gains.

Postcards

We have designed many lovely postcards about iGEM and Escherichia coli for teams members all over the world.You can download these postcards from our E-album.We also going to share these postcards in jamboree,Hong Kong.Long live our friendship!
