02What happened

The year

The team expressed gas vesicle proteins in E. coli so that cells bound to a contaminant would float, making separation a matter of skimming rather than filtration. Silver medal. The team and description pages of the wiki were left as templates, so the project name here is recovered from the site banner rather than from a project description.

The wiki's Team and Description pages were never filled in.

Photographs

Nothing from this year has been recovered yet. If you have photographs — lab work, the Jamboree, outreach, socials — they belong in the Gallery.
