Ilkem was again full of care for both of the teams like he always is O Sharing ideas and problems with another team made us more comfortable. The competition can make students stressful!! In addition, one of the advisor instructors of Pasteur team joined us and he made us laugh with his funny personality. |

Meetings

| ![](https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/6/61/Meetings_IGEM_METU_2015.jpeg) | We had a lot of meetings during the year. These are just a few of them. Some of them were stressful, some of them hopeful. Sometimes we had serious problems. However, thanks to our determined personalities we overcame all of these problems. In addition, we cannot ignore the contributions of our advisor instructor Mr. Son who have always helped us remain hopeful and lit us the way when we thought we cannot possibly move forward. |
