DAY-1

I-GEM begins....and i draw a blank. Its like class 12th all over again. DNA, Genes, RNA, GATC and so on....as it goes on I realize that definitions ("text-book" definitions) come back to me in the form of a rather disturbing tidal wave.

"What is Synthetic biology? DNA? Anyone?"

Now we have been out of the "definition" business for over a year now...so I think to myself...."I'm not sure what the right answer for that is, why isn't google working fast enough?" (Trust me I was not the only one)

But at the end of all that groping around the dark to make sense of what I had got myself into...I finally (thankfully) figured out that verbatim answers were of the long gone days, what was more important was that we understood what it meant. Understood what each of those big, long and impossibly frustrating words meant, and we did. Waiting anxiously for what the next day held for us.

Day 2 - DNA(our own) extraction

We've all looked at ours or well someone else's cheek cells under the microscope but to see with our naked eyes a clump of our own DNA rising towards the surface of the alcohol and detergent we used to segregate it, was lets admit it extremely exciting. That coupled with our next task - "Destroying our DNA in a ritualistic manner" -just made it all the more fun.
