St Andrew’s iGEM 2020 team – At the start of summer we attended the St Andrew’s UK iGEM meet up and contributed to the discussions as well as giving a presentation about our project idea.

Paris-Bettencourt iGEM 2020 team – We had several meetings with the Paris-Bettencourt team, and shared their swab survey to people we knew who were still in lockdown. We also recorded a podcast episode with them.
