This year our team has created a mascot that represents the activity of our team, his name is Viti and he is a bunch of grapes. The idea arises to strengthen the team’s identity, to make our project memorable and eye-catching, as mascots generate empathy and create an emotional connection with the audience, simplifying messages with a touch of fun to our project’s image.
As a collaboration, we would love for different iGem's team to create a mascot until the 9th of October. We collect all the mascots from all the teams that want to participate and bring them to Paris. Teams could send us the LabBuddie by instagram or email.
This year, the MSP team has decided to develop an interactive website to explore all the ways in which synthetic biology is affecting every sector of our society.
They wanted to hear first-hand from all the teams that are helping to bring synthetic biology to society. They prepared questions geared towards our field of research, which we answered.
