• Citate the papers in the wiki for metal sensing. Quote short sentences where necessary.
• Need to get back to sponsors to show them what we have achieved.

Last Week's Specialist Action Points

Lab

• Hanny to sequence BioBricks
• Goksel to send DNA off to Parts Registry.

Wiki

• Need to update lab work section
• Redraw and add colour to diagram on front page currently (the process chart) - possibly using Omnigraffle for Mac
• Put a diagram of a Bacillus subtilis' cell on the front page of the wiki with elements of the project e.g. Cadmium sensing, stochastic switch, etc included
• Put safety info on wiki.
• Header photo to be changed.

Presentation

• Sub-project teams need to send at least two slides with some information on them.
• Presentation practice to be held on 23rd October 1pm
• Still doing a presentation in Sunderland?

Poster

• Each team to create document for the poster creation.
• Could use a complex wheel to point to various points of the poster.
• Finish design for Friday.
• Send for printing.
• Arrange a meeting on Friday 5 to 7.

Modelling

• Work out parameter values, and how to integrate into population model.
• Improve the population model.
• Finish model by this weekend.

T-shirt/Marketing

• Get t-shirt designs to printing company.
• Due to the situation - reduce the number to about 15, and increase the price £20-30.
• Could get it partially done by professionals, then iron on bits - small logos.
