A Club To attract more attention on the competition and our project about the CRISPR-Cas system, we ran a club named iGEMER at NFLS(Nanjing Foreign Languages School) and held educational and elementary activities on the days of Nanjing Club Summit and NFLS Club Salon, the most ceremonious club celebrations in Nanjing and in NFLS.
