iGEM2008 Jamboree at MIT

1200 team members and 800 attendees met at MIT for presentations by the 84 teams from 21 countries who participated in iGEM2008. Congratulations to the Slovenia team who took away the BIOBRICK Grand Prize (see below).  Moments before the award ceremony, there was some consternation as the BIOBRICK prize had gone missing from it's pedestal. The work of master thieves was suspected. By a stroke of luck, the missing prize was found, curiously wrapped for protection in a University of Cambridge iGEM team T-shirt, under the trophy table.
