Meeting with high school students
Introduction of "iGEM"

"Commitment"

"Ready to teach"

"Introduction of one of our potential projects-Randomemorizer+Chemorunner" ......

Proposal Writing
Combination of Randomemorizer and Chemorunner(bouncing back and forth) by Guangnan
 * how to modify the promoter to a mutual exclusive one (reference: Peking 07, how theirs works)
 * AD-BD system
 * BD: difficult to find suitable pairs
 * Chemo-runner: quorum sensing and motility control
 * quorum sensing, use two AHL system for two sides. When cell accumulates to certain concentration, they may expel each other. (reference: 06 Cambridge--There are many different AHL can be sensed by different species, that is, it is a species-specific molecule)
 * use motility control to stablize the pattern


 * Problems: Gradient agar plate: difficult to make?
