Announcement
Next Wednesday, the meeting will be a progress report of our preparation work on Randomizer. Hopefully, we can order all what we need for Randomizer on Wednesday.

Randomizer

 * strain and vector (Winnie and Jean)
 * design of OR1 and OR2 (Jingjing and Qing)
 * reporter (xiuye)
 * test of cI and cI434 (Cotton?) ~ parallel to the cloning
 * UV test (Carmen?) ~ parallel to the cloning
 * simulation (Jiahui and Wisely)
 * measurement and observation (TBD)

Spatial Oscillator

 * bistable swith
 * motility test
 * chemotaxis test

Rough Schedule for Randomizer

 * July 4: Start
 * July 9: Order parts
 * July 16: First round of cloning starts
 * July 18: First round of cloning finishes, and then test randomness, trying to refine the ratio of randomness...
 * We may keep on trying our best to modify the ratio of randomness, to make it as 50:50.
 * If the first round of cloning fails, we shall start another round of cloning.

During the waiting time of cloning, we may start the construction of Spatial Oscillator.
