*'''[[User:Rshetty|Reshma]] 23:50, 26 April 2007 (EDT)''': Thinking about a new layout for the syntheticbiology.org site based on a conversation with Randy and Austin. Perhaps something like below. What do people think? Still some things missing including possibly the following (please add/subtract from the list) | |||
*# SB efforts in the EU | |||
*# artemisinin project | |||
*# BP project? | |||
*# Microsoft funding program | |||
*#Others? | |||
