How 5x5 works

 * Find something you field/idea/thing you think is really interesting.
 * Research it - find current methods, applications, problems in this field.
 * Present it to the group
 * 5 minutes of introduction to the field/idea/thing
 * 5 minutes on problems/areas that could use some more study and how this could translate into an iGEM project
 * No more than 5 slides!
 * Post topic and slides to wiki before meeting! (Slides will be compiled into one presentation)
 * You will get ONLY 10 minutes to present.
 * At the end of all the presentations, there will be 25 minutes of brainstorming/discussion.

Structure(?)
Add your ideas of how the meetings should be structured here:


 * 1) Meeting leader rotates every week.
 * 2) Meeting secretary rotates every week.
 * 3) Each meeting will get its own wiki page.
 * 4) Before the meeting:
 * 5) *People post topics they want to be covered in the meeting
 * 6) *Once topics identified, someone (voluntarily or by appointment) is chosen to give a short presentation on topic to teach everyone
 * 7) *Presenter posts on meeting page: (1) how much time they will need to for presentation to help in meeting planning and (2) the presentation, at least a day ahead of meeting
 * 8) *Meeting leader creates an agenda for meeting and posts to meeting page
 * 9) During the meeting
 * 10) *Leader directs meeting and keeps meeting on time
 * 11) *Secretary takes notes directly on meeting page

See 1/14/09 meeting page for an example.
