For their constant involvement, feedback and assistance, both on the design of the project and troubleshooting. We could not have done it without you, and we look forward to working with you for the 2020 year! For helping maintain iGEM Guelph's presence at the University of Guelph, and offering a wide variety of support to the team based on his previous two years as a team member. His assistance was instrumental in the team's progress this year, especially in terms of inventory and finances, and Giant Jamboree experience! For her advice on our agricultural-related project planning and development in preparation for iGEM 2020, as our resident "Plant Person". She also assisted with a variety of other logistics and troubleshooting with the current project, especially the transfer of Wiki knowledge and Giant Jamboree experience from her previous two years as a team member! For his significant financial support through the University, as well as his personal interest and time invested in the team! We are excited to have strengthened our ties with the Office of Research this year. As always, we appreciate his direct support in providing us the means to attend the Giant Jamboree. Special thank you this year for taking your time to act as a Keynote Speaker for our oGEM 2019 Conference hosted at the University of Guelph! For meeting with the team and offering her support and enthusiasm for our endeavours. For their much-needed financial support through the University, as well as Dr. Coppolino’s personal support for the team. For financial support through the University of Guelph during his previous appointment as Dean of the College of Biological Sciences, as well as his personal interest in the team. We wish him all the best in his new position! For his interest in iGEM’s role at the University of Guelph from an experiential academic perspective. We’re excited to continue our conversation with the goal of turning iGEM into an accredited experience-based course at the University. For providing lab space and allowing us to raid their supplies on occasion (with permission, of course!) For their advice, guidance, and friendship! Our community has grown and changed so much over the past few years, and we look forward to working with you in the future! For his outstanding enthusiasm and support for the Plant Pilot Project, as well as providing connections within the department, laboratory space and resources, and fantastic training on everything Arabidopsis thaliana. For providing growth cabinet space, orientation and safety training in the Phytotron Facility for the Plant Pilot Project. For his advice in developing the Plant Pilot Project, and for giving the Plant Sub-Team the opportunity to present to his laboratory group. Thank you to the whole group for their valuable feedback and support!
A huge thank you to the previous year’s Guelph iGEM Team for helping us expand and get off the ground. We would like to especially thank our PIs Dr. Rebecca Shapiro and Dr. Stephen Seah for their openness and guidance in our project this year, as well as Advisors Nykole Crevits and Daniel Lipworth. Without all of their guidance and support we would not have achieved what we have in our project and not garnered the support and attention that our team has built up within our local community this year. A special thanks to our University! The University of Guelph has supported us in numerous ways. We would like to thank the Vice-President of Research, Malcolm Campbell, the Chair of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Marc Coppolino and the former Dean of the College of Biological Sciences, Johnathan Newman for their financial support. We would like to thank Marc Coppolino and Guelph's Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology for use of lab space over the course of the competition. As well as to our Supervisors Dr. Rebecca Shapiro and Dr. Stephen Seah. Over the course of the competition, they have donated laboratory supplies and resources to the our team. Thank you to IDT and Twist Biosciences for their donation of DNA synthesis and New England Biolabs for their donation of reagents. Without your help this project would have never come as far as it has. One of the beauties of iGEM is that it brings together wonderful people from all walks of life. It shows that help and support can come in many forms, and every bit counts. A big thank you to the Guelph Queer Equality club for graciously allowing us to use their button maker for our LGBTSTEMday event!
