Rosalind Chronicles
With Team iGEM Concordia, Team iGEM Thessaloniki and Team iGEM
Patras
Team iGEM Concordia_Montreal is the team we’ve collaborated with the most over the years.
For our third year in a row collaborating with them, we planned a two-part endeavour: an
online bulletin board describing inspiring women in STEM from across the world and a
workshop to promote diversity and inclusion in STEM. This bulletin board, later named The
Rosalind Chronicles, was the first part we worked on.
The project first started as a collaboration with Team iGEM Concordia_Montreal exclusively, but it soon grew into a four-team endeavor. After starting to promote it online on the iGEM Global Slack workspace, a member of our team noticed on the iGEM Global Slack that two other iGEM teams were promoting their own similar collaboration two days later: Teams Patras and Thessaloniki. Seeing the perfect opportunity to grow both of our collaborations, we contacted them.
That’s how, as a final group of 4 teams, we created together the collaborative bulletin board shown in the video below. Through this collaboration, we invited other iGEM teams to submit a short description of a woman in STEM from their country, as well as a photo of the women in their teams. A total of 26 teams ended up participating, sending in short biographies of their chosen STEM women. After gathering all this information, we created the interactive online bulletin board shown in the following video:

Together, we created and conducted this online workshop. Half of it focused on increasing diversity and inclusion in research and iGEM teams and the other half focused more on encouraging women in STEM. Our Education & Communication page explains the educational contents of the presentation more in detail.
Our workshop took place on September 16th 2021 via Zoom and around 25 people attended. We gave the attendees the ressources Eve Langelier shared with us and they gave us very positive feedback on the workshop after it ended.

JulyGEM
By Team iGEM Calgary
JulyGEM is a yearly event organised by Team iGEM Calgary which allows teams to tune
in to workshops about science communication, entrepreneurship, and human practices.
They also allow teams to participate in pitch sessions, quick, 5-minute
presentations about their project followed by questions from judges and feedback
from other iGEM teams and the judges themselves.
Given that this presentation was essential for our project last year, we decided to participate again. Even if our project is the same as last year’s, we were still able to give more information and context to attendees on our project and the questions from the judges were very useful, especially for the legal considerations of our project. This was the perfect opportunity to meet new iGEM teams and to learn more about what their projects are about this year.

iGEM Monument Challenge
By Team iGEM Paris-Saclay
This initiative, started by Team iGEM Paris-Saclay, challenges iGEM teams to take
pictures of monuments in the city, post the images on instagram with information on
the monuments, and then challenge other teams to participate. Our team was
challenged by Team iGEM Sorbonne, so three of our team members adventured into
Quebec City to show off four of its famous monuments, standing in the only fortified
city in Canada and the USA.
Postcard Project
By Team iGEM Düsseldorf
Team iGEM Düsseldorf asked many different teams to create postcards that would be
then sent back to them, along with everyone else’s postcards. They were open to all
kinds of designs, suggesting anything from promoting our own project to simplifying
an interesting science concept and every fun design in between. We decided we wanted
to promote our project and explain an interesting aspect about maple syrup.
