#SynbioSaturdays iykyk😉

And if you don’t know… here is a recap🤗: every Saturday we share a post under the the hashtag #SynbioSaturdays to help spread fun educational content related to synthetic biology!

This week we have 3 fun facts about the synthetic biology industry.

[WrightStateiGEM @iGEMWrightState]

As #iGEM deadlines are coming and passing, we want to take this #SynbioSaturdays to remind everyone to focus on what you are able to do! 🫶

[WrightStateiGEM @iGEMWrightState]

Happy #SynbioSaturdays!

This week we have a fun fact for you. Our interdisciplinary team is made up of students from 4 different schools of education at Wright State University! 📚🎓

iGEM Wright State 💜’s biosensors!

Biosensors are widely used across many scientific fields. Our iGEM team utilizes them in our current Deconta-Mn-ate project on water quality!

If you want to learn more about their many benefits, this #SynbioSaturdays post is perfect for you!😁

[WrightStateiGEM @iGEMWrightState]

In this #SynbioSaturdays post we are piggybacking off of last weeks segment on riboswitches!🤗

Learn more about potential utilizations methods with an example from our Wright State-OH Deconta-Mn-ate project.
