Edinburgh iGEM OG 18

We are the University of Edinburgh Overgraduate Team for the 2018 iGEM competition.

RT @SynBiologue How much lab research can be done over a summer by a group of students? #iGEM teams have managed to achieve fantastic results over the years, developing novel ideas to solve real problems @EdinburghOG2017

Huge congratulations to both of our #iGEM2018 teams, two gold medals and nominated for best foundational advance project, such an amazing achievement! @EdiGEM2018 @EdinburghOG2017

One more Facebook Live today — Check out the poster by @EdinburghOG2017 in just a few minutes! @iGEM #iGEM2018 #GiantJamboree

And we want to say thank you!
It wouldn’t be possible without your support!

Another @iGEM team we sponsored, Edinburgh OG @EdinburghOG2017, presenting about producing bio-based and biodegradable thermoplastics from industrial co-products. #iGEM2018 #GiantJamboree

Good luck to both our #iGEM2018 teams competing in Boston this year! @EdiGEM2018 @EdinburghOG2017

Throughout the publication process, the editors @nature were amazing. We felt that they 'got' our work, and this editorial really confirms that. Funny you quote 'heaven in a wild flower' - because we joke that the dandelion has a halo (= SVR). https://t.co/CE1IC5XzlE

Last day, hours away from the wiki freeze #iGEM #Wikifreeze

DNA submission....
✔️Done

The way our economy currently operates - taking stuff out of the ground, making something out of that and then ultimately throwing that thing "away" - cannot run in the long-term. It's time to create a new vision. #circulareconomy

[Adrian Higson @biobasedchem]

Please don't tell me that introducing new #biobased #plastic packaging will confuse UK #recycling system. It's already confused! 🤔BBC analysis shows Councils use 39 different sets of plastic recycling collection rules! Yes 39! 😟https://t.co/sBN9Bw4MxU

[Edinburgh iGEM OG 18 @EdinburghOG2017]

This week members of our team had the pleasure to listen @PaulMines1 from @BiomePlastics discussing bioplastics and sustainability.
What a lecture!

#LearningFromTheExperts

[Biome Bioplastics @BiomePlastics]

The technology is already there to rethink plastics and make them great again. Great to see this topic being a central theme at #NSLive today!

[Edinburgh iGEM OG 18 @EdinburghOG2017]

@BiomePlastics @PaulMines1 @univofstandrews Looking forward to hearing @PaulMines1 speak!!

[Biome Bioplastics @BiomePlastics]

To fight #plasticpollution, we need to rethink the whole system. @LBNet_NIBB identified the top 10 biobased alternatives to petroleum-based chemicals - not only are they an environmental imperative, they're also a business opportunity. https://t.co/mvTkYopbBI

[Biome Bioplastics @BiomePlastics]

Want to learn more about sustainable chemistry? Our CEO @PaulMines1 will be speaking at @univofstandrews next Wednesday afternoon - and give an answer to the burning question, are plastics wonder materials or existential threat?

[Biome Bioplastics @BiomePlastics]

Problem: Plastic Waste. Solution: #Bioplastics. Read the @NNFCC's series on the global challenges that the #bioeconomy provides solutions for. https://t.co/3EV5IfkIUv

Our project has been inspired by the ideas of #circulardesign.
Please follow the @circulareconomy and stay tuned for more of @EdinburghOG2017

[Ellen MacArthur Foundation @circulareconomy]

Design has to be driven by purpose. #circulardesign @ideo https://t.co/nuSLYD2sp4

[Ellen MacArthur Foundation @circulareconomy]

The circular economy starts by thinking about materials as circulating through two distinct flows - biological and technical - derived from the #CradletoCradle design concept. https://t.co/NJ5t7TEAn0
