Summer is winding down…or not
For many, this week marked the end of summer session classes, and perhaps the beginning of a week-and-a-half-long break before the fall semester begins. But for Berkeley’s iGEM computational team, it’s still full steam ahead.
I suppose I should introduce myself before going any further. My name is Joanna Chen, and I am on the Berkeley iGEM computational team. I will be a senior in Bioengineering once the semester starts. My subproject for iGEM is Spectacles, a visual design tool for synthetic biology parts. It’s been quite a full but overall enjoyable summer for me with iGEM, and I can’t believe it’s already halfway through August. The two-and-a-half months I’ve spent at iGEM have passed rather quickly. School is starting in 10 days!
That means 7 more weekdays for the team to finish up some key parts of the new and improved Clotho. Well, not really, since we do expect to still be doing things for iGEM after school starts. But, only 7 more weekdays during which we will all be in the office together, spending a good portion of our day coding for or discussing new parts of Clotho. Only 7 more days to get the various key parts of Clotho tied together before our schedules change and we might no longer see each other every day.
This week, we have also finally received access to our pictures from the iGEM photoshoot a few weeks ago. Here are some pictures of the team:
