Meeting Minutes

Presentation Feedback

  1. Give Ron Weiss credit on Powerpoint, his idea was not presented as fact, more of a discussion idea
  2. demonstrate the interface between electricity and genetics via electricity effect or something similar – activate sigma32
  3. Title for microbial fuel cell slide needs to read ‘Battery’ to maintain component theme
  4. Talk about breadboard before genetics explanation
  5. Add more text and images
  6. Remove first line of ethics section – jump straight to second part
  7. Can’t say ‘better’ way of doing things, say ‘great’
  8. Human practices – always for ‘the greater good’ – science becomes questioned when it’s for trivial use. State very clearly how sixth form day influenced physical designs and interactions
  9. Put Bielefield logo on microbial fuel cell slide
  10. Show all other components (constructs) after battery and bulb
  11. Use circuit diagrams (electronics) with zooming bubbles to illustrate how our components can be integrated
  12. Simulator slides – go for ambiguous rather than ‘gross’ – 100% will reject human brain idea, go for more ‘grey areas’, add more images/bullet points on these slides

Microfluidics

  1. Add in filter and UV LED to designs, and work out means of detecting light emission
  2. Talk to Ulrich Stimming about electrochemistry aspects
  3. Measure GFP/RFP emission in chambers using constitutive bacteria

Wiki

Lab notes need to be much more in depth and well organized – should be fixed by each subteam individually

FITC to be ordered for Interlab Study

Edinburgh collaboration – make sure they acknowledge our work on their wiki – adding metadata to our biobric

Track Selection – Selected ‘Foundational Advance’, Information Processing and New Application selected as alternatives
