  • I'd be willing to also look over USCF if we need to cover all the presentations. - Allem
  • I would also be willing to team up with Allen to present UCSF's 2007 Presentation if it's OK with everyone. - Robert
  • In regard to the latest email, I'll just do Peking's ppt. -Allen

  • An incomplete list of project ideas is below. Pick one, or add your own.
    1. Bactofood (food supplement)
    2. Mouthwash (and/or deodorant)
    3. Gut flora engineering
    4. CO2 mineralization
    5. Healthbots (patrolling the blood stream)

Remember, describe the 'big picture' idea, then try to break it down into smaller projects. First look at large pieces - what kinds of abilities would you need (bind to X, produce Y, destroy Z) to accomplish the big picture? Next, think about how you'd produce those abilities (protein α will bind to X, pathway β would produce Y, etc). Bonus points if you can break it down into five separate mini-projects. More bonus points if things would still work with less-than-total success (we need A and B to work to declare success, but C and D would make it cooler. E would be awesome and interesting even if nothing else worked).
