Meetings October

October Meetings
Although anja did not vote, the results would not change. summing up the final result: the people who will go to Boston are Divya, Tomek, Priyanka, Deepika and Arnab. Stanley was ranked third overall, but was VISA-rejected twice as you all know - he is replaced by Arnab.

Since Daniel has already booked his flight to Boston, we will try to add him to the list of registered students so he can attend the jamboree at MIT. We will also make an accommodation reservation for him together with the other 5 but he will not be refunded by igem.

Ilaria and I will circulate more news as they appear.

Keep up the momentum, there's only 12 days left before the final set of deadlines for wiki, project description, and parts submission.

This is the update from the previous meeting which most of us attended..
