o Asia Pacific Conference
Later in July, we attended the 5th Annual Asia Pacific Conference held at National Chiao Tung University. During the four-day event, we had the opportunity to meet around 25 iGEM teams – from Taiwan, China, Japan, and the US. The conference began with each team displaying their posters and getting a big picture of what everyone’s project is about. For the following days, each team would each hold a 40-minute presentation session with Q&A time. Through our presentation, our presenters acquired a sense of what the final presentation at Giant Jamboree will be like. Furthermore, during the Q&A session, we received many feedbacks in regards to improvements that could be made -- including the utilization of waste proteins that are produced in the cycle of biofuel. For the rest of the conference we attended others’ presentations; by listening to every team’s progress and obtaining a sense of the field they are researching in, we were able to acknowledge the pros and cons of our own project while seeking for possible collaborations. For example, we learned that National Chang Gung University shares a similar denitrification mechanism as us and that National Tsing Hua University excels in the visual representation of their project. Still, this conference was extremely valuable not only because we were able to learn from each other, but more importantly due to the fact that we had the privilege to talk and spend time with people of the same interests!
o Taiwan Conference
On July 17, 2017, NYMU iGEM attended the Conference Chang Gung University iGEM team held. Teams all around Taiwan attended this conference. It was extremely interesting to meet teams in Taiwan. This was the first iGEM conference NYMU 2017 attended and it was the first time we met with other teams. We were extremely thrilled to be able to share our project with ideas and we were so intrigued by listening to projects from the other teams. We spent the entire day talking to other teams and getting to know their progress. We started off with an icebreaker where teams were forced to describe their project in less than 1 minute. This was a fun icebreaker as it forced members to simplify their projects to the basics. In the afternoon we presented our project and received feedback from the other teams. There was a close discussion on projects. After the conference ended, we made established friendships with groups that we later met at The Asia Pacific iGEM conference. This was an important milestone for NYMU-TAIPEI iGEM team because it was our first contact with the public and overall, we were exhilarated to meet with other teams and were glad we had the opportunity to listen to other teams’ presentations.
