Entry title What kind of bio is possible in a non-clean space? Literal garage science Bacterial strains, plasmids, enzymes = not really that expensive Individually do our own research and vote on one or two ideas A week (Jan 21) Spaces / Advisors Borgon, Kolpashchikov, Balaeff (computational, physics / nanotech) Ask Borgon to be our advisor or at least point us in the right direction Membership Need to establish 12 stable student members Getting together Emerick and his bioremediation crew too? Cancer vs. cigarettes -- whichever reaches cancer first wins! Basic experiments Practice an experiment that we know already works -- like a cover band Bacteria that breaks down oil (bioremediation) Yeast + GFP Standardize our techniques, get to know each other, work together as a team Funding Difference between money and things, we can use machines and supplies Things To Do Before Next Meeting: Naomi: 1. Go to OSI; figure out what we need to do to revive club 2. Gather members 3. Speak to old prfessor on DNA vial experiment 4. Research experiments Felix: 1.
