Randy Rettberg asked if we would be interested in giving a short presentation on OWW at the iGEM Teach the Teacher's workshop on May 6 at MIT. Essentially it would involve introducing OWW and describing how it is a useful resource to iGEM folks.
See the iGEM wiki for information on what iGEM is and the workshop.
Introduction to OpenWetWare
What is a wiki, why is it useful?
- enables anyone to contribute so leads to a much more dynamic webpage
Summary of OpenWetWare's beginnings
- Started in the Endy and Knight labs as a means of recording and sharing useful information.
- Permitted a new venue to communicate and collaborate with others about research ideas and projects.
- By forging links between iGEM and OpenWetWare, we hope to
- integrate iGEM participants more tightly with the research community
- create ongoing resources stemming from iGEM for the synthetic biology research community
How is OpenWetWare useful for iGEM teams?
- Stong synthetic biology presence on the site (it is the home of syntheticbiology.org).
- Getting started: a quick guide to using OpenWetWare.
