Beaming BioBricks from Space...
Attributions
Our team is sincerely grateful to each and every attributor mentioned below, without their valuable inputs, advices and lab resources, our project could not have become a reality.
Due to the broad diversity of our team including a lot of people with different backgrounds and interests beyond science, we had the unique possibility to not outsource any part of our projects. From the graphic design to the programming, video processing and animations, experimental planning, performing and troubleshooting - everything was accomplished by the members of our team.
Even though our work would not have been possible without the unconditional support of the people mentioned below.

Our Special Thanks to
Doris Richter and Dorothee Thiel (Lab technicians from Simon Alberti’s lab) for the kindness and immense help in providing us with additional lab resources any time we asked them.
We could like to thank Biozyme for sending us Motivase (which never failed to motivate us) along with all our Biozyme purchases.
Claudia Görlach & Annet Unz for providing us with the opportunity of visiting their center and organizing with us the excursion to our lab and to all the seniors of the Begegnungs- und Beratungszentrum Johannstadt taking part in their activities. To the Seniorenakademie for giving us the opportunity to hold a presentation in their program.
We are very thankful to our grandmothers Alberta Sánchez Gómez, Beatriz Suárez, Fatemeh Kazemi and Hans Joachim Bebber for taking their time and making the effort of recording the video answering to our questions.
Many thanks to all people who supported our crowdfunding campaign that allowed us to buy T-shirts and microphone to record voice for our Video-series “How to iGEM” as well as to print postcards and the poster that we are going to present on Giant Jamboree 2019.
