Hi, I am SuiYuman. You can also call me Yuman. I currently study in Qingdao Academy as an eleventh grade student. I have a variety of interests, including piano, singing, badminton, and of course, Biology. I enjoy the moment when I carry out a complicated experiment, discuss a Biological question. Participating in iGEM is not only because of the interest for Biology, but also a way to apply what we have learnt from textbooks in addressing the real-world issues, making this planet more beautiful and sustainable. Hope to have more people know our project and “brainstorm” with us. In the end, I want to share a quote: “Studying Biology is basically just saying ‘Wow!’ all the time.” Thanks!

I think I do not need to retell my name like other teammates did, because it is already at there. I'm a high school student from Qingdao Academy. For sports, I like swimming the most. The reason is that swimming is a procedure that I imitate waterlife. I perform like aquatic organisms rather than terrestrial, I feel as other creatures feel : I love lives from my instinct, as small as microrganisms, as large as whale. I love them, then I love the study of them——biology. I'm highly interested in IGEM since it is a unique part of biology about construction of lives, offering me a different perspective to view biology. I'm looking forward to learn appealing projects implemented by company of IGEM from all around the world.
