STEMcast Episode 31 | Meet the Judges! Dr Asia Vighi and Dr Jeff Bouffard share their wisdom and perspective as iGEM judges.
About this episode
Dr Asia Vighi and Dr Jeff Bouffard discuss their experiences and insights as judges in the iGEM competition.
This special episode of STEMcast is cut from a seminar presented to participants of miniGEM, a mini version of the iGEM competition that McGill’s iGEM team runs for high school students across Canada. We learn about the judges’ paths into synthetic biology, and we hear their opinions on various topics, like ‘how important is the visual component of an iGEM project?’, or ‘what features do award-winning projects have that others don’t?’. Tune in to step up your iGEM game!
