Where does your bio begin?

We have been using biowords for weeks now to describe everything; biocool, bioblog, biotweeple, biofacebooking, biosocial, biobling…

The word for today is “Biocontest”.

The contest is something we planned when we first posted our Wherebiobegins twitter account.  We knew that if there were great prizes like a Targeted Knockout, a CompoZr Integration kit, or an Apple® iPad,  we would see some creative biosparks flying across the web.

Here’s how it will work:

  • Think back, and determine the story of what sparks biology for you.  Nature? experimentation?
  • Tell your PI you need time to create an entry that will win a CompoZr ZFN
  • Tell the story either through an essay, a video, or an image .
  • Go to WhereBioBegins.com/contest and upload it.
  • Tell your friends to vote for your entry! “Category” prizes will be awarded based on popular votes.
  • Check back frequently to see if you are winning!
  • Know your legalese

If you have problems with your submission, please email yfgsuggestions@sial.com.

Good Luck!  We look forward to seeing your entries!
