After over a decade of coaching the EPFL iGEM team I decided to step down. It was a privilege to bring iGEM to EPFL and both hard work and lots of fun to coach 11 teams. We had plenty of laughs and shed a few tears over the years.

Of course none of this would have been possible without a lot of support!
First a special shout out to Nicolas Denervaud for starting the whole thing.
Big thanks to @BartDeplancke for co-coaching the teams from 2008-2016 and Barbara Grisoni.

And of course all the TAs who were enormously dedicated and devoted a lot of their precious time to teaching the iGEM students the nitty gritty of experimental science:
