This week we sit down with SynthRITE team and winners of last year's BIO Competition Gayatri Sanku, Sunshine Lucky Go, and Jarjieh Fang. Building an international team and writing a proposal is a hard thing to do well, so we sat down with the team that did it best last year to find out what the magic ingredients are. Turns out, it's not magic- just hard work. Have a listen.
