"It's no easy task talking about failures or blunders, even within the scientific community, a field wherein failure is a feature and not a bug. It was a part of the journey, and the journey proved to be as crucial as is the destination." https://t.co/xOuvbFSrbA

The increase of #water salinity of the Lake Moeris in Egypt due to sewage and industrial wastes, was behind the inspiration of a team of Egyptian Students' project to desalinate water using Microbes!

The random guy who captured our #iGEM's bronze-medal-wining-announcement photo asked: "why are you sad?!"

We managed to smile anyway! But there was lots to be sad about!

Here I reflect on some of our blunders and failures!
