Why I'm Doing iGEM: The creativity and fresh applications of synthetic biology that iGEM inspires from young scientists like us drove me toward iGEM. Also, as the team captain this year, I want to be able to spread this type of iGEM spirit to the community around me.
Coolest thing about science: It fits and it works, but at the same time it is unknown and sublime. It is also a very effective tool that transforms an idea to something tangible valuable with the power of nature.
Hobby: Listening to international music, diving, stargazing and... secretly dancing by myself when I’m feeling good.
Career plans: I plan to pursue medicine with a focus on nano and biotechnology.
Skills: math, physics, organization

Why I'm doing iGEM: iGEM is a great program that allows us to apply our biology knowledge to solve problems that exist in the world. It also requires a much deeper understanding of specific biology concepts than is taught in class. Most importantly, I really enjoy the hands on lab experience that it involves because I can link together what I learned and apply the knowledge practically. Through this wonderful opportunity and process, I learned a lot about synthetic biology and its applications.
Coolest thing about science: There is always something more to know.
Hobbies: During my free time I like to paint because it is both relaxing and inspirational. I also enjoy watching dramas and spending time with friends.
Career plans: I plan to major in an engineering field and get a Ph.D degree after college.
Skills: I learn things very quickly and am good at working with hands on activities, from building things to lab work, etc. Prior to iGEM, I also had experience with a project that involved similar concepts.

Thousands of people who say they 'love' animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been utterly deprived of everything that could make their lives worth living and who endured the awful suffering and the terror of the abattoirs.

The human body has no more need for cows' milk than it does for dogs' milk, horses' milk, or giraffes' milk.

I think if you want to eat more meat you should kill it yourself and eat it raw so that you are not blinded by the hypocrisy of having it processed for you.
