+ | <p>Cassie is a returning member on this year’s iGEM team. As an outdoorsy individual, she often | ||
+ | escapes to the mountains when not busy with school or iGEM. Her indoor activities are no less | ||
+ | adventurous as she engages in a wide range of hard-core hobbies including crocheting and fixing | ||
+ | cars. She has been described as both a nerd and a bookworm, when she finds to be a fitting | ||
+ | description considering her obsession with the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Solitude and time to | ||
+ | reflect are of great importance to Cassie. Cassie’s one true love is windsurfing and no romantic | ||
+ | partner could ever hope to take its place in her heart. Though she is unable to concoct a decent | ||
+ | cup of coffee, Cassie’s passion for science and her seasoned laboratory skills make her an | ||
+ | invaluable component of the team. | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | Cassie joined the iGEM team because it offered her a | ||
+ | uniquely self-directed research experience that allowed her to interact with a diverse team of | ||
+ | enthusiastic students that shared her love for science. In her view, synthetic biology takes | ||
+ | all of the most exciting aspects of cellular, molecular, and microbial biology and applies them | ||
+ | to creating innovative and creative solutions to real-world problems. As a returning member, | ||

+ | <p>Christian is a returning member on this year’s iGEM team. In his free time, he writes poetry | ||
+ | and reflects on life’s deep philosophical questions. Although it commonly takes multiple | ||
+ | attempts to get Christian to do out-of-lab administrative work, he is a remarkably productive | ||
+ | scientist and his laid-back and unguarded personality have lead the newer wet lab members | ||
+ | to view him as less as a boss and more as a friend. In fact, Christian is widely considered to | ||
+ | be one of the most emotionally attuned individuals on the team and is quick to offer support to | ||
+ | members when they’re feeling down. In the future, Christian hopes to aid in expanding the | ||
+ | intersection between biology and technology as well as promote the field of synthetic biology | ||
+ | to the next generation of scientists | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | Christian joined iGEM because he viewed it as an opportunity to develop his leadership skills | ||
+ | and develop a greater sense of autonomy in his work as a biological scientist. The responsibility | ||
+ | associated with the creation, execution, and success of an entirely student-lead project | ||
+ | proved alluring. In addition, Christian was drawn in by the ability to work with a creative | ||
+ | and innovative team of students from fields both within and outside of the life sciences. | ||
+ | iGEM introduced Christian to an entirely new field of study that he was not previously aware | ||
+ | of and has contributed significantly to his understanding of molecular biology and its real-world | ||
+ | applications. Christian plans to continue his studies in graduate school and one day work for a | ||
+ | cutting-edge biotech.</p> | ||

+ | <p>Mike is a new member on this year’s iGEM team. In his spare time, he can be found | ||
+ | tinkering on the computer creating small video games and other miscellaneous coding projects. | ||
+ | He is particularly interested in how video games can be used as a medium to tell | ||
+ | stories and has published many articles on the topic. Mike’s versatile and immediately | ||
+ | friendly persona have made him a group favourite since the beginning of the team’s formation. | ||
+ | Though he’s involved in a number of scholarly and respectable pursuits, Mike’s prepubescent | ||
+ | sense of humour frequently causes team members to forget that he's a full-fledged adult with | ||
+ | a previous bachelor’s degree under his belt. Mike is unsure of what he’ll be doing ten years | ||
+ | from now but he’s is fascinated at how science can inform the arts and plans to work in a | ||
+ | field that allows him to exercise his combined passion in interactive storytelling and | ||
+ | scientific inquiry. | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | Mike was roped into iGEM because it seemed liked a rare opportunity to blend his interests | ||
+ | in biology and technology. The interdisciplinary nature of iGEM has allowed him to develop | ||
+ | not only his scientific expertise, but also his ability to communicate and work in a team. | ||
+ | iGEM was particularly attractive to Mike because it radiated an aura of exclusivity and | ||
+ | immense difficulty, which only made him want to do it more. It didn’t just open new doors for | ||
+ | Mike, it blasted through walls and shattered windows, exposing a wealth of opportunities | ||
+ | within the biotechnology sector. Mike considers himself wildly privileged to be a part of the | ||
+ | iGEM team and is immensely proud of what the group has been able to accomplish.</p> | ||
