| Tried out different scripts to make objects teleport users when touched. The first couple I tried did not teleport people to the right coordinates, but I soon determined that this was because I had entered them in the wrong order (oops). I made a teleportation grid that would correspond to different spheres. I also tried to make it so that people wouldn't have to sit in order to teleport, but I feel like that may be a requirement from what I've seen. I am still trying to figure out a way for the teleporter to remain inactive, or at least show that the location in question is being in use, because we don't want people interrupting others during their biobricking sessions. | | Tried out different scripts to make objects teleport users when touched.

Exploring Simbiology and Matlab
Discovered that Simbiology is an easy to use interface for modelling systems . Has a number of equations built in that can be used to model the system such as the Chemical kinetic equation , Hill kinetics , Iso-Uni-Uni and the Michealis-Menten equation etc.
There are two ways to simulate : differential and stochastic
There is more than one algorithm for the differential and stochastic simulations.- Implicit/Explict Tau , exact Stochastic , ode15 , ode45 etc .
We will most likely be using Chemical kinetic equations to model our system.

Marketing and Media for June 1st 2009
Today, I started sending out sponsorship packages to all the companies that had requested our sponsorship. Some of these companies include Boehringer Ingelheim Canada, P&G Canada and Roche Canada.
I also setup a TV media appointment with the CTV news for June the 3rd 2009.

Marketing Focus
We began sending out the sponsorship package to companies who expressed interest in our project. We had planned to go visit companies to set up one-on-one meetings to discuss our project. However, most companies wanted to have a look at the sponsorship package prior to meeting us to discuss the project in detail.
I had planned certain days to go meet companies but it didn't quite work out the way I had planned. At this time, I mostly contacted companies via email.
