    I am a senior at Randolph-Macon Academy who has way too much science credits than what is needed. Since I have been doing science researches since 9th grade, I thought this iGEM thing would be a piece of cake, however, I'm totally wrong. Now I only pray for my team to survive the submission week.

    Hihi! I am Jennifer, a rising sophomore at Lake Forest Academy. I am definitely way more into journalism and literature than in math and science in school. My writing is the way I earned my GPA, even for science curriculums. But Biology has always been an exception. Ever since I completed my first frog dissection in 8th grade, Biology has always been unforgettable. It is different from other math and science curriculums. Therefore I decided to give it a try and joined ASTWS-China this summer, and solve worldwide pollution problem with my team!

    Wassup, my name is David, Luo and I am a new senior from a high school in the US, who is now suffering from college application and a bunch of other stuffs. In my daily life, I am a person who always stay at home watching anime and do drawings. I am pretty inactive. If no one ask me to go out, home is the only place I’m staying, because I advocate to be an energy-conservative person. Pretty persistent with food, however I play basketball and work out sometimes only to lose weight and eat more. I feel like I always think a lot and I am pretty stubborn with academic problems, because I always try my best to understand every single detail. This is my second time attending IGEM, and I want to try my best to work with the lab.
