var TONY = "One of the opportunities that I look forward to the most in university is being able to conduct research. While high school afforded the opportunity to learn the general principles of biology and chemistry, there was little to no individual exploration. As a result, when Grace from iGEM last year came to present at a SciCon conference I was attending, I became immediately captivated by the learning and exploratory opportunities provided by iGEM and the myriad of projects that are possible. As a greenhorn to the research field, I hope to learn the many basic lab protocols this year and primarily help with human practices. I also hope to gain some experience in mathematical modeling later on. My hobbies include swimming early in the morning, being a foodie (especially Thai food … yum yum), and watching Game of Thrones.";

var CHRIS = "I am a Masters student in the Pollution Control and Waste Management group here at UBC, working in the Hallam Lab. My research lies at the intersection of environmental engineering and microbiology, where we study the microbial ecology of biological phosphorus removal using metagenomic and functional genomic approaches. In my free time, I enjoy hockey, martial arts, and pretty much anything outdoors.";

I'm working in the Hansen group to develop methods in single-cell genomics by exploiting recent advances in microfluidics. When not stuck in a cleanroom, I can usually be found out in the mountains surrounding the Lower Mainland.";

var JAMES = "I'm a PhD student in the Eltis lab at the University of British Columbia. My project involves the identification and characterization of bacteria and bacterial enzymes that can degrade and modify lignin. Our goal is to use the aromatic portion of biomass to replace products made traditionally with fossil fuels with green alternatives.";
