Stay Up to Date with the Community
To help iGEMers connect with each other around the world, we have created specific Meetups and Collaborations pages, for teams to get in contact with each other about these topics
To stay up to date with iGEM announcements, check the 2019.igem.org Main Page frequently for news items and check your email for newsletters and other announcements we will send throughout the year.
Be Social
Connect with iGEM HQ and your fellow teams on social media! Join the conversation: keep an eye on (and contribute to) #iGEM2019 ⇗ on Twitter, or join our iGEMers Facebook group ⇗!
You can also follow iGEM HQ on Facebook and Instagram! We post all major announcements on Twitter and Facebook, as well as on the 2019 Homepage.
Do you know of another social media App or website that iGEM should be using? Please let us know! @iGEM or by email hq AT igem DOT org
One of the most common requests we receive from teams is the ability to easily contact other teams, which usually means people requesting email addresses. This is a challenging request for us since we respect the privacy of our registered iGEM account users and thus don't give out personal information, including email addresses.

iGEM HQ This week we celebrated Vinoo’s 10 year anniversary at iGEM Headquarters.
Vinoo was hired back in 2009 when iGEM was still in MIT. From wrangling robots into creating thousands of DNA distribution kits for the past decade, to now directing the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, iGEM would truly not be the same without him. Thank you, Vinoo!
