I'm a recently graduated doctoral student from the Canadian Laboratory for Inexpensive Maize Biotechnologies (otherwise known as Dr. Manish Raizada's lab) at the University of Guelph in Canada. I learned about OpenWetWare after my involvement in iGEM 2008, where I helped start up our university's first team. Check out that website here: iGEM Gueph 2008. Since making a website was a great experience for promoting the work, sharing ideas and techniques, and organizing the project, I made a similar one here for my PhD and now post doctoral work. Hope you find it useful and send me your comments via email!
