Minutes

 * Looked at videos/animations
 * T-shirts
 * Perfect Printware think that our design (the draft that they have) is virtually impossible to print.
 * We could get them to do a simpler version for more money (£20+ on white shirts).
 * The purple is causing problems.
 * We could change supplier.
 * Spectrum Imaging have said that they cannot do it for us.
 * We need to prepare to do it ourselves (print+iron).
 * A late design decision to go from '09 to just 09.
 * Poster
 * Jess has created a draft poster design which uses Mat's diagram as a central focus to split the poster into sections about each sub-project.
 * Could do a 'stochastic wheel' game.
 * By Friday, each group is to answer:
 * What the sub-project is.
 * Where it fits into the project.
 * Novelty factor.
 * Project modelling.
 * Labwork
 * Hanny has been working on transforming kinA, right size, but can't get into pgfp-rrnb.
 * The kinA biobrick as arrived in pgfp-rrnb.
 * CotC ligated into pMutin4 - Goksel will screen colonies and midi-prep.
 * Presentation
 * Put credits at the end.
 * 1. Title.
 * 2. Overview, aim, design - introduce project.
 * 3. onwards Sub-proejct overviews, etc.
 * All sections more detail.
 * Popmod pages - introduce Grid and reasons.
 * Modelling
 * SBML and CellML models which are not finished, are to be finished!
 * Population model to be finished.
 * Need to find how to integrate as many of the models into the population simulation as possible
 * Could use/affect amounts of nutrients/cadmium, change the rates of import and export, change the chance of sequestering, sporulating and germinating.
 * Parts Registry
 * sspb
 * ara
 * sspb + ara
