Hello iGEMers: Do you know anyone interested in synthetic biology who will be entering university next year? Perhaps they would like to write an essay for this contest. Gowlings is a Canadian law firm that works closely with life sciences companies in all fields....for those of you already thinking about next year's competition, you might consider working with them on a intellectual property Human Practices project. Let me know if you are interested or follow the link below.
