Another pal from Perpignan, Océane is a cheerful member of the iGEM team, and she likes the most basic things to an unusual degree. As everyone, food is a part of her life that can’t be neglected, but nothing is ever easy considering that her love for it goes beyond common sense, to a point where she becomes picky about what she ingests. When she’s not working, eating or playing, it means that she sleeps soundly, as it is the best part of the day for her, according to our journalist. That is not the end of the simple things she likes in life, as talking to other people, no matter if it ends up in small talk or philosophical theories, is a huge part of her daily life. But not everything is white with her, considering that she gets angry and way too stubborn on something when it doesn’t work, and she might end up venting about it to other people. But the pain can’t even begin to compare to the one she feels when eating those strange vegetables called “spinach”. But no matter how much she vents about anything, the best part of the competition for her is either talking and finding how much the work is paying off, or when the code is finally working. Not everything is about work, so if you want to engage in a conversation with her, feel free of talking about code or movies, and she’ll be more than happy to talk with you!

Jordi, hailing from Montpellier, is a unique blend of cultures and interests. His character has been shaped by his French-Catalan heritage. His academic journey transitioned from biology to bioinformatics, merging his passion for biology and coding. The iGEM project appealed to him greatly due to the freedom it provided in addressing challenges and discovering innovative solutions, aligning perfectly with his knack for creative problem-solving.
Jordi is a night owl who prefers cooler temperatures, hence he dislikes waking up early or being under too much sun. He is a gaming enthusiast, spending his free time playing computer games or exploring the internet. His love for games extends beyond the digital world. He also relishes board game sessions with friends, where strategy, camaraderie, and a dash of luck come into play.

coming straight from the land of snowy winters and rich history , Lada shares her teammates’ love for cats and books. Being a curious traveler, she moved to France for her bachelor program in Chemistry and Biology, and then arrived in the sunny Montpellier, to follow her dream of studying and working in biomedical research. iGEM was a wonderful and yet stressful adventure, but, fortunately, she gained a lot of knowledge in team management and biochemistry. Life is not only about work, but also pleasures, as she enjoys music for example. While the melodies are important, the main part in her case involves singing. When she doesn’t think about a song, it means that she is debating with people because she wants to get more knowledgeable in different fields. Often in an active mood, she is always ready to go play some tennis or go for a walk in a beautiful park.

Growing up in the foothills of the Himalayas in Darjeeling, much to my parents' chagrin, I have always been a voracious reader, mostly fiction, ranging from Dostoevsky to Murakami and everything in between. Lately, I have developed an interest in crocheting, baking sourdough bread, and exploring new hiking trails and adventure activities in Montpellier. I thoroughly enjoyed the Human Practices aspect of iGEM. I could write, construct, paint, draw, illustrate, meet new people and explore the intersection of science and communication. Public speaking and oration have always fascinated me, courtesy of my mom who dragged me to theater classes for a decade during my school days. iGEM gave me a wonderful opportunity to intertwine my passion for theater and communication with my training and expertise in science. You will find me ricocheting from reading novels to doodling sketches, from writing a chunk of code to baking a focaccia, or simply sipping Darjeeling tea on my balcony and contemplating my life choices.

Coming from the sunny lands of Perpignan, in the south of France, lazing around and enjoying food are part of his genes, but we just couldn’t find nor name them in the genome. As a good french folk, David eats baguette, but also expresses his dissatisfaction, while doing the task. With the set of biological background that his studies provided him, he dived in the iGEM competition without any hesitation (or maybe with a bit of it…) The mere act of existing is anything far from easy, but thanks to love and cats, he managed to go through the wetlab part of the iGEM. Considering this traumatizing experience, David is now afraid of running a gel or making multiple PCR in the same week, scared of the transcription that comes after. But not everything is black, as the gain in knowledge was massive and now, David can be called a Sunday researcher. One of the best part of iGEM, according to him, was meeting the other teams in Toulouse, whilst the worst part was clearly working day and night to fit to the deadlines. Thankfully, games and music are here to save your poor scientist.
