Jamboree: Storm impact
iGEM HQ has just published the following: Hurricane Sandy has been a natural catastrophe with major flooding and outages in New York, New Jersey and Washington DC. While Boston is recovering well and Logan airport is open, many flights have been cancelled. We are concerned that some iGEM teams will be delayed or unable to attend the Jamboree. We are trying to prepare alternative methods of participation for teams who are affected by Hurricane Sandy causing them to be delayed or miss the Jamboree altogether. IF your travel plans have been affected, please let iGEM Headquarters know as soon as possible. See the Jamboree contingency page for details. Please contact us either by phone: +1.617.500.3106 or email: jose AT igem.org or hq AT igem DOT org. |

Dear colleagues and friends, we thank everyone who called to check-in with us as the hurricane passed through New England. There are still many people without power, but it appears the worst of the weather is now behind us. The Jamboree is still expected to proceed this weekend as scheduled. We understand there are significant flight delays. Do be sure to monitor your flights, especially if you are scheduled to connect in NYC or another city in the affected hurricane area (East Coast US).

iGEM 2012 E late registration is now open
As the first round of registration closes, we are excited by the energy and interest that the Entrepreneurship Division has garnered around the Globe. Since this is the the first year, we have heard from several potential teams that the process of securing the support from the business advisors is taking a little bit longer than expected. Therefore, we are now opening up a late registration period. Please proceed to create a team as usual. |
