After months of experiments, brainstorming, and teamwork, we finally reached the iGEM Grand Jamboree.
Although all the work we put into our project met the medal criteria, unexpected technical issues with the iGEM website prevented Living Scaffolds from being evaluated for medals this year. Of course this was frustrating after such an intense journey, but it doesn’t take away from what we built together.
We are incredibly proud of our project and of everything we learned along the way. During the Grand Jamboree, our work was recognized and appreciated by judges, fellow teams, and companies we had the chance to meet and talk with. That support meant a lot to us.
Science is rarely a straight line, and this experience reminded us that the value of a project goes far beyond an official result. What truly matters are the ideas we developed, the collaborations we created, and the team we became.
And most importantly, thank you to the girlies for the adventure, the endless anecdotes, the laughs, the stress, the late nights, and for making this experience so deeply human. 💖
✨ iGEM 2025, what a journey
