Today we divided up the remaining sections of the Business Plan and worked on completing them for the deadline today. I worked mostly on creating a Gantt chart with Vicki to illustrate the timeline for our project as well as establishing milestones for a few aspects of our project such as the Wiki and Outreach. | Today we divided up the remaining sections of the Business Plan and worked on completing them for the deadline today.

Today, I worked on the business plan, which our sponsor Alberta Ingenuity Fund wanted as part of their sponsorship deal. The business plan was a tremendous learning experience for our team as it helped us summarize what would be our goals and milestones for the upcoming seven months. | Today, I worked on the business plan, which our sponsor Alberta Ingenuity Fund wanted as part of their sponsorship deal.

I was busy to learn about Mathematica. Mathematica is a language with powerful built-in functions that could be used for various applications. I watched many online tutorials that are available at Wolfram’s website (the company that developed Mathematica). Reading papers about membrane computing was another activity that I have done in this week. These papers can be found at ESD.ucalgary.ca. I also had two meetings this week, one with iGEM members on Friday and the other one with Lindsay members on Thursday. | I was busy to learn about Mathematica.

| - | + | Purpose: Write and edit text part of the Business Plan that iGEM Calgary will submit to AIF. Today was crunch time with everyone from iGEM Calgary working to complete the Business Plan for AIF in order to get one step closer to securing $20 000 to fund our project. Specifically, I help to edit all sections of the business plan and helped to write bios as well. Although most members were quite stressed throughout the day, it was a great team building exercise. | |

This involved learning the terminology first: constants, events, flow controls, functions, operators, states, types, and other nerdy words. Progress is slow at the moment as I have had no experience scripting. |
