Premise
Hi everyone:
Based on last week's meeting, team members are going to be pairing up with grad mentors to flesh out the details of the project. As I mentioned last week, I think it's a good idea if everyone feels like they're contributing to all the ideas that are generated. At the same, I know that a lot of people feel like they need to work through the projects that they've been presenting these last two weeks. As a compromise, everyone will be allowed to choose two project ideas (one is your original idea and the second is another team member's idea). Over the next week, you will be helping brainstorm around both ideas with a graduate student mentor(s).
At these meetings, please try and flesh out as many problem areas as possible. Remember that your goal is to expose as many constraints as possible so the team chooses a project wisely (i.e. knowing the problems and constraints they are likely to face). Hence, it is important that your are critical, in a good way, of both project ideas - your own and the other team member's.
A logistical issue: There are five team members so pairing won't be even. If any team member wishes to work with two project ideas outside of their own, let me know. Otherwise, grad students, please ensure that there are two of you working (mentoring) on that project. I will also try and be a team-member substitute if necessary.

Please sign up soon and coordinate a meeting(s) with your grad student(s) and other team member. Try and keep the meetings to 30min or 1hr (max).
Thanks, Anusuya

Two-Component systems are our friends; they are easy to work with and understand. Even larger, more complicated systems (such as chemotaxis) are composed of a bunch of two-component systems.
