 Students and faculty from Davidson College and Missouri Western State University are once again collaborating on a project for iGEM. The 2008 team consists of one biology and one mathematics faculty mentor from each institution and students from both disciplines at both institutions, as well as one student from Hampton University and one from Spellman College. It is truly a multidisciplinary and multi-institution collaboration. The picture above was taken July 3 on the steps of the Chambers Building on the Davidson College campus, following a week of intense, side-by-side collaboration. |  |
