In the beginning of the month, the final team was formed and discussions
about the individual scientific tasks were held. Besided, outreach
material, such as a group photo, a logo and an outreach strategy was
made. Unfortunately, on March 13th the intelligent lockdown in the
Netherlands started. As a consequence no real life meetings could be
held and all team members had to work from at home. By the end of the
month, we lost a team member and half of the remaining team decided not
to start iGEM related scientific work until June 1st. But the remaining
team members started to do literature research to prepare the lab work.
Highlights:
- 13th: start corona measures in the Netherlands - intelligent lockdown (shift to online meetings and working from at home)
- 27th: zoom meeting with European teams and iGEM HQ about Corona - Dennis, Hugo and Filipe
