Baby Steps

Sign up for Lab Safety & Bio Safety classes, submit certification to Jamie Allison
Time Management: Learn how to manage your time efficiently (and not waste others) from this lecture; skills that you can use for the rest of your career.
Initial Reading
1. Read Image:Idempotent Vector Design for Standard Assembly of Biobricks.pdf, don't worry about understanding every last bit of technical details.
2. Wiki By Example: Look at Harvard iGEM 2006 team lab notebook, get an idea with what they do in the lab on a daily basis. They worked with cyanobacteria as well, but did not transforming it. They ended up extracting genes from cyano- and transformed E. coli.
Brainstorm
1. Brainstorm and get some ideas what you would like to do for project part-B. Look at previous iGEM team pages/presentations for ideas.
Bonus Videos: Understanding why we are even in this BioBricks competition!
